The US Embassy in India has issued a warning stating that committing an assault, theft, or burglary in the United States will result in the revocation of a person's visa. The warning further stated that such an act could also prevent the person from entering the US again.
In a post on X, the Embassy said, "Committing assault, theft, or burglary in the United States won't just cause you legal issues - it could lead to your visa being revoked and make you ineligible for future U.S. visas. The United States values law and order and expects foreign visitors to follow all U.S. laws."
This move comes as US President Donald Trump is on a quest to deport illegal immigrants and other criminals from the US. As per the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 1,42,000 people were deported from the US between 20 January and 29 April.
