The Foreign Ministry warned on Thursday that all 55 million foreigners holding a visa for the United States are subject to continuous review because President Donald Trump increases his interventions against visa and immigration.
“The Ministry’s continuous checks include all more than 55 million foreigners currently holding valid US visas,” a state ministry official said.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will cancel visas at any time there are signs of potential inability, which includes things such as any indicators of exceeding, crime, threatening public security, involvement in any form of terrorist activity or providing support from terrorist organization.” ”

The official did not say that all 55 million visas were in active review, but explained that the Trump administration was considering all the fair games.
The official who spoke of the usual state of anonymity said that Trump’s administration increases control especially for students. “We are reviewing all student visas,” the official said, adding that the Foreign Ministry “constantly monitors what people have said” on the social media, which visa applicants now have to show, as AFP states.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio actively focused on protesters against Israel by provoking a little -known law that allows the abolition of visas for individuals who consider themselves undermined by US foreign policy interests.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 6,000 visas have been canceled since Rubio took over the office together with President Trump. This number represents four times the number of student visas canceled in the same time framework under President Joe Biden.
Rubio claimed that the administration had the right to issue and cancel the visas without judicial review and that citizens outside the US do not have US constitutional right to freedom of expression.
However, administration faced failures in two cases of the highest profile.
Mahmúd Khalil, a legal permanent resident in the United States, led by pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, was liberated in June by a judge.
Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish postgraduate student at Tufts University, who wrote a piece in the Campus newspaper critical to Israel, was liberated in May, waiting for arguments.
