The Trump administration is reviewing all 55 million U.S. visa-holders for potential violations that may warrant deportation.

“We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,” the State Department told the Associated Press.

It further confirmed that U.S. visa holders were subject to "continuous vetting" to ensure their sustained eligibility.

The confirmation comes as Trump aims to deport as many as 21 million illegal aliens and continues to ramp up pressure on those here legally, including by scrutinizing their potential links to pro-Palestine or terrorist organizations.
