On 28 August, on a flight to Los Angeles from Shanghai, a conflict over children ' s quarrel eventually turned into a heavy price for the immediate repatriation of families and the cancellation of visas。
THE COURSE OF THE FLIGHT WAS NOT COMPLICATED: ON THE WAY TO FLIGHT, A FATHER ' S CHILD WAS CONSTANTLY DISTURBING THE NEXT-DOOR PASSENGER AND THERE WAS A KIND REMINDER THAT PARENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO IMPOSE A LITTLE RESTRAINT. HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF APPEASED THE CHILD OR APOLOGIZED TO HIS NEIGHBOUR, THE FATHER HIT HIM DIRECTLY. THE CREW INTERVENED QUICKLY AND INFORMED THE LOS ANGELES GROUND IN ADVANCE. WHEN THE PLANE LANDED, CUSTOMS AND THE FBI WERE WAITING FOR IT TO BOARD AND TAKE THE PERSONS INVOLVED WITH THEM FOR INVESTIGATION. THE FATHER WAS ARRESTED ON THE SPOT AS HE WAS CONSIDERED A THREAT TO AVIATION SECURITY BECAUSE OF THE INJURIES SUSTAINED ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT. IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE FOLLOWING DAY, ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WERE REPATRIATED AND UNITED STATES VISAS WERE CANCELLED SIMULTANEOUSLY。
The event was rapidly fermenting on social platforms# There's no U.S. visa for the whole family in one punch on the plane #A lot of people in the comment area have expressed their dissatisfaction with behaviour similar to that of “brother-parents”: the cost of this punch is far too high。
In fact, this is not an isolated case. Visa controls in the United States have been significantly tightened in recent years and have continued to increase. According to U.S. Department of State data, since Trump's second term, cumulatively, it has been withdrawn over and above175,000 copiesUnited States visas held by foreign citizens; since 2026 alone, the average monthly number cancelled has exceeded10,000 copiesI don't know。
It is even more noteworthy that the visa has been withdrawn far beyond terrorism or serious cases against national security. DUIs, fights, thefts, drug offences, dangerous driving, sexual assault, fraud, etc. can all trigger visa revocation - AndYou don't even have to go through court proceedingsI don't know. Revocations can be made at the administrative level, with low thresholds and speed of implementation, putting pressure on many people who travel frequently to the United States。
In addition, the U.S. government is planning to cancel up to200,000A B1/B2 BUSINESS TOURIST VISA HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR OR IS BEING SOUGHT BY AN ALIEN. ONCE IT LANDES, IT WILL BE THE LARGEST SINGLE VISA REVOCATION OPERATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE IMPACT ON “REPRODUCTIVE TOURISM” HAS BEEN SCALED UP AND HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN ONCEMore than 100 copiesVisas for birthing children。
From an impulse on a flight to the withdrawal of 175,000 visas, the signal is clear enough: the “era of easing” entering the United States is far away, and any act that is identified as a threat to public order or security can cost you far more than you expected. Outside, keeping the rules is also the way forward for themselves and their families。
