Donald Trump’s US visa rule is brutal: one crime & you’re out, embassy warns Indians; details here

The United States embassy in India has issued a stark warning regarding the country’s visa conditions on its X account. The embassy warns that anyone arrested for violent crimes such as assault or domestic abuse could have their visa revoked immediately and be blacklisted from future visa applications.

The embassy closed with the following statement: “A visa is a privilege, not a right – one that can be revoked if you break the law."

This warning comes on the heels of the Donald Trump administration’s increasingly hardline stances on immigration, which have been exemplified by the incredibly contentious mass deportation program that is currently ongoing. The Embassy had issued another warning earlier this month after an Indian immigrant was arrested for shoplifting at Target.


The US Embassy’s statement makes the dire consequences of violating visa conditions incredibly clear.




Historically, United States immigrants have been held to high standards when it comes to the consequences of breaking the law. These crimes don’t just include the serious, violent offences such as domestic violence and assault that are mentioned in the Embassy’s statement. Other crimes such as larceny, embezzlement, robbery and burglary can and have led to serious consequences faced by United States immigrants.

Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigrants has come under severe scrutiny, however, because of allegations that the President has not followed due process when detaining and deporting many of the migrants that are being rounded up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).


Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation, which is being managed by Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, as well as Border Czar Tom Homan, has apprehended and deported thousands of immigrants, and even alleged United States citizens, out of the country.




Many of these detainees have wound up in detention centers such as CECOT or the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. Donald Trump’s approach to deterring immigration been sharply criticized by his opponents, who accuse him of violating due process and punishing innocent people with no criminal record. Anti-ICE protests led to a massive flashpoint in Los Angeles in June 2025, where the National Guard and United States Marines were eventually mobilized to quell he crowds.
