The Trump administration has moved to revoke B1 and B2 visas for roughly 200,000 asylum seekers, setting up what the report describes as an unprecedented scale of removals. The stored information does not specify the legal or administrative steps underway, or the timeline for implementation. It matters because such a change could quickly affect the ability of affected people to remain in the country under the same visa category while seeking asylum. What remains unclear is which agencies would execute the action and on what procedural schedule.
