SHOTS FIRED: Rubio Revokes 95,000 Visas This…

The Trump administration has revoked more than 95,000 visas so far, dramatically expanding its immigration enforcement push under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Fox News confirmed.

The State Department verified the figure to Fox News on Friday, marking a sharp increase from the 85,000 visa revocations reported earlier this month.

The growing number reflects what administration officials have described as a safety-driven reassessment of visa approvals issued under previous policies.

The revocations span multiple visa categories and represent one of the most aggressive visa enforcement efforts in recent U.S. history.

Fox News reported that the policy shift includes heightened scrutiny of the H-1B visa program, a long-standing concern among immigration hawks who argue the program has been abused.

The administration has also expanded travel restrictions as part of its broader effort to tighten border and visa controls.

According to prior Fox News Digital reporting, more than 8,000 of the revoked visas belong to international students.

The revocations build on earlier enforcement actions that targeted what the administration characterized as safety threats.

Earlier this month, Fox News reported that 85,000 visas had been revoked in a sweeping immigration crackdown.

The State Department’s confirmation that the number has now exceeded 95,000 signals an escalation rather than a slowdown.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has overseen the crackdown since taking office, aligning the department more closely with President Donald Trump’s immigration priorities.

The Trump administration has repeatedly argued that visa enforcement is a critical component of national security.

While critics have raised concerns about the scope of the revocations, the administration has emphasized public safety and vetting failures under prior leadership.

Fox News noted that the new total was confirmed directly by the State Department, underscoring the administration’s willingness to publicly stand by the policy.

“This is an escalation from the 85,000 visas revoked previously, reported earlier this month, citing safety concerns,” Fox News reported.

The visa revocations come amid broader immigration actions, including the termination of parole programs and expanded deportation efforts.

Trump officials have consistently argued that visa overstays and weak screening pose risks comparable to illegal border crossings.

The administration has framed the crackdown as a necessary correction to years of lax enforcement.

Despite the scale of the revocations, the White House has remained largely silent on the specifics.

“The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment,” the outlet reported.

The lack of comment has not slowed the pace of enforcement, which continues to accelerate.

Supporters of the administration say the numbers demonstrate a commitment to restoring integrity to the immigration system.

They argue that visas are a privilege, not a right, and must be revoked when safety concerns arise.

The crackdown has also drawn attention to the role of the State Department in immigration enforcement, an area traditionally overshadowed by DHS.

Under Rubio’s leadership, the department has taken a more assertive posture.
