US Authorities Say They Will Deny Visas, Green Cards Over Social Media Postings
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|April 10, 2025
US immigration authorities said on Wednesday they will look at social media accounts and deny visas or residence permits to people who post content considered anti-Semitic by President Donald Trump's administration.
WASHINGTON:
Posts defined as anti-Semitic will include social media activity in support of militant groups classified by the United States as terrorists, including Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi insurgents.
The move comes after the Trump administration has controversially cancelled visas for students inside the United States, where the First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.
