Trump administration to screen social media accounts of visa applicants for anti-American views


The Trump administration wants to screen the social media accounts of visa and green card applicants for anti-American views.

Citizenship and Immigration Services is committed to implementing policies and procedures that root out anti-Americanism and supporting the enforcement of rigorous screening and vetting measures to the fullest extent possible. Tragesser added: "USCIS is closing the loophole for foreign male athletes whose only chance at winning elite sports is to change their gender identity and leverage their biological advantages against women." The Trump administration has cracked down on immigration since his inauguration in January - ICE agents have been arresting people en masse and a new detention centre was opened in Florida in July.
