The U.S. government is planning a large-scale revocation of business and tourism visas for up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are seeking asylum in the country.

• This action could potentially affect thousands of asylum seekers, including Kenyans.
• The revocations will target holders of B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026.
• State Department Spokesperson Tommy Pigott confirmed the coordinated effort with the Department of Homeland Security to identify and revoke visas from individuals who used temporary visas to enter the U.S. before filing for asylum.
