US says it has revoked a record 300,000 visas

A State Department spokesman said the revocations targeted foreign nationals in the US who broke the law, committed fraud or posed security threats.

Revocations claimed so far

1. 1 100,000+ in January
2. 2 175,000+ in August
3. 3 300,000+ now

The count passed 100,000 in January and 175,000 in August, and the administration says it is the fastest pace of any administration.

Rights advocates condemn the tighter social media screening of visa applicants, saying it threatens free speech.
