Summary

A report indicates that roughly 150,000 Korean nationals in the U.S. are subject to deportations ordered by Donald Trump, among 14 million migrants overall.

Among those, 20,000 Korean adoptees remain without citizenship, intensifying community fears and concern over harsh immigration policies amid escalating anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Kim Dong-suk, head of the grassroots group, described Trump’s return as a disaster for Koreans, urging collective action among U.S. leaders and migrant groups.

I did a little research on this, and this is insane. The current legal code (8 USC 1201(i)) states

After the issuance of a visa or other documentation to any alien, the consular officer or the Secretary of State may at any time, in his discretion, revoke such visa or other documentation.

and to top it off, it also contains at the end

There shall be no means of judicial review (including review pursuant to section 2241 of title 28 or any other habeas corpus provision, and sections 1361 and 1651 of such title) of a revocation under this subsection, except in the context of a removal proceeding if such revocation provides the sole ground for removal under section 1227(a)(1)(B) of this title.

This sounds like it means that if there is any type of other thing happening (such as an accusation that you broke the law or are here illegally), they can just say "ok visa revoked get out" with very limited possibility to a legal review

I can understand that being the case for actual criminals but, that seems super extreme.

Being said though, 9 FAM 403.11 is the declassified guidelines that it seems officials are supposed to use, and those state:

(1) Unavailable

(2) (U) The individual is not eligible for the visa classification (this includes ineligibility under INA 214(b));

(3) (U) The visa has been physically removed from the passport in which it was issued; or

(4) (U) The individual is subject to an IDENT Watchlist record in System Messages for an arrest or conviction of driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated, or similar arrests/convictions (DUI) that occurred within the previous five years, pursuant to 9 FAM 403.11-5(B) paragraph c, below.

Overall, that's fucked.
