In a move certain to be welcomed by patriots, the Department of Homeland Security will start monitoring visa applicants’ social media for antisemitic activity.
See the tweet below!
This initiative begins on April 9, 2025, and marks an attempt to prevent divisive ideologies from entering the U.S.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will scrutinize public online interactions for antisemitic language, which could result in visa denial or visa revocation.
The policy covers lawful permanent resident applicants, foreign students, and those tied to institutions accused of antisemitic activity.
This step aims to safeguard America from radical ideologies and aligns with President Trump’s executive orders aimed at combating antisemitism.
DHS will enforce immigration laws to shield the nation from extremists and terrorist aliens supporting groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, stated, “There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here.”
ICE officers might also access IRS records on immigrants facing removal orders.
The policy highlights the importance of scrutinizing social media for students and exchange visitors, a task for consulates and Fraud Prevention Units.
The initiative is part of a larger effort to merge national security with immigration enforcement.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized the consequences of advocating violence, stating, “It is a privilege to be granted a visa to live & study in the United States of America. When you advocate for violence and terrorism, that privilege should be revoked and you should not be in this country.”
Over 300 visas have already been revoked under this guidance.
Critics argue this blurs the line between national security and viewpoint discrimination, but proponents see it as a necessary step to protect citizens.
Secretary Kristi Noem advised that anyone trying to misuse the First Amendment for antisemitic agendas is not welcome in America.
BIG NEWS: If you are antisemitic, you can no longer become a permanent resident of the United States or be granted a visa. Effective immediately, the U.S. will deny immigration benefits to those engaged in antisemitic activity on social media or physical harassment of Jews. pic.twitter.com/YWrpiqrXWu
