Specific revocations also addressed charges such as rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, child sexual abuse material possession, birth tourism, and expressions celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The announcement occurred on August 10, building on an earlier January figure exceeding 100,000 revocations.
