“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced it will begin screening immigrants' social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The screenings will affect people applying for permanent residence status as well as foreigners affiliated with educational institutions. The policy will go into effect immediately.”

Well, if you’re a tourist or business traveler entering the country, there’s also monitoring of personal communications for criticism of Trump…

The irony that Musk and Trump campaigned on free speech. Every accusation, a confession.

Hmm and timing is quite suspicious with this announcement too don’t y’all think? Ackerman criticizes tarrifs. Not a word since. Perhaps this was the cost of silence?

As someone of Jewish descent this is horrific. While I am only a partial Jew (ie one parent, my Dad) and non observant (actually an atheist) I think this is horrific. What’s that chilling saying again? I think we need reminding:

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller”

Why is it good? Why don't they monitor for other racist posts? Why just pick anti-semitism?

Because I’m a Jew and we don’t need to be importing Jew haters.

So, as a Jew, you're okay using the similar fascist tactics that the Nazi's used on Jews and other groups? Shame on you.

Zionists are the clear successors of the Nazis. Look into how they cooperated to help form the state of Israel. Google Haavara Agreement for starters.

Criticism of Israel and Netanyahu is not anti Jew but simply anti Israel's war crimes and it's terrorist leader.

Because it’s a (palatable, for many) way to lay groundwork for suppressing free speech and other rights, it’s a way to cozy up to his buddy netanyahu, it’s an excuse to punish higher ed, and it also drives wedges between people.

Yes, I think this is correct. Next, they can deny anyone who has criticized Trump or the Republican Party, liberal judges, supported DEI, the trans community, etc. It’s an erosion of free speech.

DP. Nazis excluded immigrants with ties to terror groups from emigrating to Germany?

Never heard that one before.

So criticizing Israel = terrorism.

You're making "Jew haters" out of everyday Americans with this gross, fascist overreach on behalf of a foreign government.

This is what I think too. They don’t care about Jews. Trump just said Nazis treated Jewish prisoners with love. They’re using Jews as a pawn and Netanyahu is selling out his own people. It’s all going to backfire.

It’s not just immigrants being detained at airports. This article is about a US citizen who was detained because he’s a lawyer representing a college protester. This is fascism plain and simple.

And/or bc Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis answer to Iran and have a nasty habit of blowing up Americans.

Shocking that we wouldn’t want them in the US. Just shocking. /s

It’s a free country. People have first amendment rights, even if you find it personally abhorrent

You should know better.

People around the world do not have first amendment rights. They should not be treated as just exercising rights when evaluating who should come to this country.
If someone is saying Death to Jews, Death to Israel, I don't think that is worth bringing them here.
Bringing in a million Muslims a decade I do not think is healthy either. Britain is close to becoming a Muslim country.

The Trump regime does not GAF about antisemitism!!

They are looking for any excuse to up their numbers in deportations.

It's fascism, marching right through our beloved democracy, destroying our precious institutions, our values, our way of life.

And the GOP is standing by and letting it all happen.
