The US State Department has launched a comprehensive review of social media accounts for foreign applicants under the direction of Secretary Marco Rubio, who visited Gaza Patti from January 1, 2007.
This review applies to all types of US visas, immigrants and non-immigrants, including students and tourists, and include individuals who have spent time in an official or diplomatic capacity in Gaza.
Additionally, employees and volunteers of non-governmental organizations will be subject to this screening process. The primary objective of this review is to identify potential security risks, and if any derogatory information related to safety issues is highlighted, submitting the applicant’s visa will refer to an inter -probe to assess whether the applicant pose a national security risk.
Rubio had earlier reported that his office had canceled more than 300 visas since the beginning of the year, including student visa holders who have criticized Israel’s work in Gaza. The move has expressed concern, as the US Constitution protects the freedom of speech for individuals within the US, regardless of their visa status.
The Trump administration has expressed concern that the action of these students pose a threat to the US foreign policy, and has raised the issue with universities that are site of major protests since the conflict in Gaza began in Gaza.
Harvard University has been a special point of controversy, in which the Trump administration has refused to implement a change in a policy of more than $ 2 billion in federal funding.
These requested changes include cancellation of positive action in admission, screening students who can “be hostile to American values and institutions”, and can deal with the anti-Jewishism on the campus. The Homeland Security Department has also suggested that Harvard may be disqualified to host international students due to its “radical ideology” and “foreign visa-holding rioters and support for the faculty due to support and support for the faculty and support. [who] The anti-Jewish hatred is spewed ”.
