Washington, April 11 (RHC)-- The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says it’s started screening social media activity of immigrants for evidence of so-called antisemitic activity that could be used to deny benefits, including permanent residency status.
Jewish groups spoke out against the new policy. The group Bend the Arc: Jewish Action says it’s “using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.”
The pro-Israel group J Street said: “The fight against antisemitism won’t be advanced by attacks on 250-year-old cherished American rights like free speech.”
