The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it will begin reviewing immigrant applicants’ social media activity for anti-Semitic content, including support for terrorist organizations, as part of its immigration vetting process.
DHS stated on April 9 that Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will consider online expressions of anti-Semitic sentiment—particularly those endorsing violence or terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis—as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests.
