President Donald Trump and his allies are pressing hard about the perceived threats of voting by people who aren't U.S. citizens as the November election approach. He wants the Postal Service to send mail ballots only to voters verified as American citizens. The Census Bureau has promoted a dubious report about thousands of noncitizens voting in 2020, when Trump lost. His Department of Homeland Security is claiming without providing evidence that 250,000 noncitizens are on the voter rolls in just four states. Voting by noncitizens is extremely rare. Trump's opponents say the Republican president and his allies are setting the stage for legal challenges to outcomes he may not like in the fall election.

The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges. Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum. This is according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials.
