Donald Trump's Executive Order Revoked Tens Of Thousands Of Visas. Here's What That Means. | The Huffington Post
Quote:
WASHINGTON ― The Trump administration provisionally revoked 100,000 visas as part of its ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, a government lawyer said in court on Friday.
... the State Department actually confirmed earlier this week that it had provisionally revoked most visas held by people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
State Department officials said later Friday that fewer than 60,000 individuals? visas were provisionally revoked as a result of the order....
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the discrepancy in numbers.
The visa revocations are the State Department?s method of enforcing President Donald Trump?s executive order. With exceptions for legal permanent residents and some others, people from the seven countries cannot enter the U.S., and those already here can?t leave and come back.
