Trump Administration To Deny Visas Over ‘THESE’ Social Media Posts

<p>The Donald Trump administration will begin barring foreign students and others from the US if they engage in &ldquo;anti-semitic activity on social media,&rdquo; US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Wednesday, New York Post reported.</p>
<p>According to USCIS, immigration officials may deny an immigrant’s application for a student visa or green card if they find social media posts that demonstrate their sympathy for “anti-semitic terrorism.” Additionally, the policy is “effective immediately.”</p>
<p>This comes after the Trump administration controversially revoked student visas for students studying in the United States, where freedom of speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution.</p>
<p>”The United States has no room to accommodate the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathisers,” according to Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security. She also stated that “we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here.”</p>
<p>&ldquo;[DHS Secretary Kristi] Noem has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-semitic violence and terrorism &ndash; think again. You are not welcome here,&rdquo; she said, New York Post reported.</p>
<p>Last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he was removing the visas of about 300 people per day.</p>
<p>Rubio said that non-US citizens do not have the same rights as Americans and that it was at his discretion, not that of judges, to issue or deny visas.</p>
<p>The most well-known deportation case involves Mahmoud Khalil, who organised demonstrations at New York’s Columbia University. Also, even though he was a permanent resident of the United States, he was transported to Louisiana prior to deportation hearings.</p>
<h2><strong>Which Posts Are Anti-Semitic?</strong></h2>
<p>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 Huthi insurgents.</p>
