The US has issued a stern warning to foreign nationals, especially those in the US.
The US Embassy in India stated that arrests for serious offenses like assault, domestic violence, or theft can lead to immediate visa cancellation and future entry bans.
It emphasized that a US visa is a privilege, not a right.
The warning also noted that even minor crimes like shoplifting can have severe immigration consequences.
Under US law, visa revocation, deportation, and permanent re-entry bans may apply. The crackdown on immigration violations has intensified since Donald Trump's presidency.
