The Trump administration has announced plans to revoke the visas of as many as 200,000 foreign individuals who are applying for asylum. According to a statement from Tommy Pigott, a State Department spokesperson, the administration views the act of obtaining a visa with the intention of seeking asylum as fraudulent. Such deception, he stated, is a valid reason for the cancellation of a visa.
