US to review all 55 million visas to check if holders broke rules

The US State Department has announced a review of all 55 million valid visas issued to individuals, to ensure that the visa holders have not violated the terms of their visas. The initiative, known as "continuous vetting," is aimed at identifying any potential security risks or violations of visa rules. The review will involve cross-checking visa holders' information with various government databases, including those related to terrorism, crime, and immigration violations. The goal is to detect any changes in a visa holder's status or behavior that may warrant further investigation or action. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to tighten immigration controls and enhance national security. The review is expected to be an ongoing process, with visa holders facing continuous scrutiny throughout the validity of their visas. The initiative has raised concerns among immigrant advocates, who argue that it may lead to unfair targeting and unnecessary disruptions for lawful visa holders.
