The Department of Homeland Security will begin screening visa applicants' social media content for "antisemitic activity," it announced on Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced plans to screen the social media accounts of visa applicants for antisemitic and anti-Israel content, as part of a broader effort to combat hate speech and extremism. This initiative, detailed in a memo obtained by ABC News, aims to identify individuals who may pose a threat due to their expressed views. The screening will involve reviewing public posts on various social media platforms to detect any content that promotes antisemitism or hostility towards Israel. This move comes in response to rising concerns about hate crimes and the potential for foreign nationals to bring extremist ideologies into the country. The DHS emphasized that this policy is part of their commitment to ensuring national security while respecting free speech rights.
