The Trump administration is preparing to revoke business and tourism visas from up to 200,000 migrants who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the U.S. on a rolling basis — a move that would trigger the largest mass visa revocation ever, The Associated Press reported Monday.

The State Department is expected to announce the revocation, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), of B1 and B2 visas issued since 2016, according to two U.S. officials and department documents obtained by the AP.
