The US has introduced a new policy requiring immigration officials to assess visa applicants’ “attitude towards America.” Those found expressing anti-American sentiments may be denied entry. This includes monitoring applicants’ activities on social media. Evidence of anti-American views, ties to terrorist organizations, or involvement in antisemitic activities could disqualify applicants. The revised guidelines from USCIS have raised concerns among immigration rights activists and lawyers, who fear the measure could be misused. CNN reports that the US State Department has already canceled more than 6,000 student visas this year under tightened scrutiny.
