The Trump administration has trained much of its immigration crackdown on people who entered the United States illegally from Mexico and elsewhere, but it is intensifying another battle, this time with people who come legally.
The State Department has paused all immigrant visa applications while it briefs consular officials around the world on a new policy that aims to keep out people who are considered potential drains on public coffers.
The administration is also preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who applied for asylum, which The Associated Press first reported this week. It would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges.
