Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — which oversees ICE — announced that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin monitoring the social media of non-citizens for “antisemitic activity.”

“USCIS will consider social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations, or other antisemitic activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests. This guidance is effective immediately,” the announcement from DHS read.

Given the recent actions by the Trump administration, activities that evidently qualify for detention and removal include protests against human rights abuses by the Israeli military.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Notably not limited in the text to being about only the freedom of speech of citizens; this is blatantly illegal.
