Did you know Immigrants Face Visa Denials for Antisemitic or Extremist Social Media Posts Under New Trump Policy

 

The Trump administration is picking up the pace for deportations of immigrants. The latest news on this front comes from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which confirmed that it would begin scrutinizing social media accounts belonging to aliens.

This means strict monitoring of accounts belonging to immigrants, as well as foreign students and resident applicants. The organization will be hunting down those individuals promoting antisemitic activity, alongside reports linked to physical harassment against the Jewish community.

Any such activity found during screening would be held against the individual and therefore would deny them immigration benefits. Some examples of what content falls under this category include the likes of marketing, sponsoring, and showing support for terrorism, extremist groups, or negative content promoting antisemitic behavior.

They will refuse to tolerate anyone who sympathizes with terrorists in an attempt to make the country safe again, the USCIS shared. This is why all foreigners entering the country, especially those linked to educational institutions across America, will be subjected to the latest scrutiny guidelines.

The news was first teased last month and seems to be in line with a crackdown against anti-semitism across the nation. This includes a growing rise in terrorist threats from foreigners. The law was signed immediately by President Trump after he took charge this year.

The news also comes after several years of demonstrations against Israel for the war in Gaza, causing many foreign students to raise their voices against the atrocities committed against Palestinians. Many privacy rights advocates and HR groups had called out the latest policy as unfair. They also felt it was a clear violation of free speech and singles out immigrants in the most unfair manner.

The move was called out as the most formalizing censorship ordeal by the Trump administration. Advocates warned that the current policy is trading free speech for silence and fear. There is also going to be more surveillance of those holding US visas and green cards, the US Department of Homeland Security confirmed.

They hope the latest changes can provide greater guidance and make the American public a safe place and free from terrorist aliens. This includes those who they claim show support for groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
