The US State Department revokes more than 600 visas in a single month as part of a crackdown on “birth tourism” and suspected fraudulent pathways to US citizenship, according to multiple outlets. The revocations are linked to actions announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Outlets report that the move is carried out through a specialised task force intended to identify and dismantle global networks that allegedly facilitate citizenship schemes. The Express Tribune says Rubio emphasizes that American citizenship is “not for sale,” framing the effort as a response to misuse of the immigration system. Legit.ng similarly describes the task force as working to break down fraudulent citizenship arrangements.
While the core reporting is consistent across sources, the articles vary slightly in wording and emphasis—some focus more on the scale of visa cancellations, while others foreground Rubio’s statement and the task force’s role in targeting networks tied to birth tourism and related fraud.
