Trump administration is reviewing all 55 million foreigners with US visas in growing crackdown
WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration said Thursday that it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, marking a growing crackdown on foreigners who are even permitted to be in the United States. In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to 'continuous vetting,' with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked, and if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation. Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department's new language suggests that the continual vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread and could mean even those approved to be in the U.S. could abruptly see those permissions revoked. The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including people staying past the authorized timeframe outlined in a visa, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization. '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 department said. The administration has steadily imposed more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring them to submit to in-person interviews. The review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a process focused mainly on students who have been involved in what the government perceives as pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity. Officials say the reviews will include all visa holders' social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States. 'As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,' the State Department said. The vast majority of foreigners seeking to come to the U.S. require visas, especially those who want to study or work for extended periods. Among the exceptions for short-term tourist or business visits are citizens of the 40 mainly European and Asian countries belonging to the Visa Waiver Program, which grants those nationals a stay of up to three months without having to apply for a visa. But large swaths of the world — including highly populated countries like China, India, Indonesia, Russia and most of Africa — are not part of the program, meaning their citizens must apply for and receive visas to travel to the United States. Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority of which were assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and support for terrorism. It said about 4,000 of those 6,000 were due to actual infractions of laws and that approximately 200 to 300 visas were revoked for terrorism-related issues, including providing support for designated terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism.

Your guide to Chicago's end of summer fun
Summer in Chicago is unmatched, but the days are limited. The big picture: Summer officially ends Monday, Sept. 22, so if you're trying to squeeze in a few more perfect days, here's my go-to guide. Dawn AM Eatery My first stop was this popular Black-owned restaurant in Hyde Park. I ordered my go-to meal — the Brioche French toast ($16) with a side of turkey bacon ($6). 1642 E. 56th St. Then I went for a peaceful stroll just east of Hyde Park. People were swimming, having picnics and just enjoying the outdoors. My next stop was the Field Museum. I strategically visited on a Wednesday to take advantage of the Free Illinois Resident discount day, available with a valid ID. Open 9am-5pm. Last entry is 4pm. Every Wednesday. Adler Planetarium Another free experience for Illinois residents. To my surprise, the line was long and seemed like we all had the same plan! This is a great place to take the kids. 4-10pm every Wednesday. Divvy By this point in the day, I was feeling fatigued and rented a Divvy bike from the Museum Campus to head toward the Loop. It was my first time on an e-bike, which I found heavier and harder to handle. ($11.40) If you're looking for other forms of transportation and want to stay active, e-scooters are also an option. The Chicago Riverwalk My dream day was supposed to include kayaking on the Chicago River for the first time, but with heavy traffic and nerves setting in, I decided to pass. Instead, I grabbed a ($16) frozen cocktail at City Winery and enjoyed some people-watching. On my walk toward Navy Pier, I picked up some street tacos from a local food truck. I ordered two birria tacos, which were extremely flavorful and gave me the authentic Mexican vibe I was hoping for. ($9) If you go: If you can't catch their food truck, stop by their local walk-in spot located at 2247 E. 71st St. in the South Shore neighborhood. Navy Pier Fireworks Before the night ended, I headed down to Navy Pier and boarded the Shoreline Sightseeing boat to catch their summer fireworks show as I sailed along Lake Michigan. It was a historic, yet romantic evening. A possibly perfect date night. ( $50) You can also watch the show for free on the pier. 10-10:10pm Saturday, Aug. 23 and 30. 9-9:10pm Wednesday, Aug. 27. Mario's Italian Lemonade My final stop of the night was on Taylor Street in Little Italy. With just 30 minutes until closing, there were still many people outside. ($6) 💭 Moyo's thought bubble: If you're looking to make the most of these warmer days, start early. If you're driving, find free parking in a residential area and opt for walking or public transportation.
