The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said in a “policy alert” dated Tuesday that it gave immigration officers new guidance on how to exercise discretion in cases where foreign applicants “support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities” as well as “antisemitic terrorism.”
“Anti-American activity will be an overwhelmingly negative factor in any discretionary analysis,“ USCIS said.
The announcement did not define anti-Americanism. But the policy manual refers to a section of federal law about prohibiting naturalization of people “opposed to government or law, or who favor totalitarian forms of government.”
USCIS said it expanded the types of applications that have social media vetting, and reviews for “anti-American activity” will be added to that vetting.
“McCarthyism returns to immigration law,“ he said. Anti-Americanism “has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.”
In April, the U.S. government said it would begin screening the social media of immigrants and visa applicants for what it called antisemitic activity. Rights advocates raised free speech and surveillance concerns. - Reuters
