U.S. set for largest mass visa revocation in history, up to 200,000 foreigners, officials say

The State Department is preparing to pull B1/B2 (business/tourism) status from up to 200,000 people who sought asylum after entering on those visas, which officials and the AP's sourcing describe as the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history. What the piece doesn't spell out: applying for asylum after arriving on a visitor visa is explicitly legal under federal law, and it's unclear what "recategorization" actually does to someone's ability to work or stay while their case is still pending.
