"You are not welcome here," read a chilling statement from a top DHS official.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expanded its surveillance of immigrants' social media activities to include monitoring for antisemitism, as announced in a recent update to its policies. This move is part of a broader effort to screen for various forms of extremism and hate speech among visa applicants and those seeking immigration benefits. Critics argue that this expansion of surveillance could lead to profiling and the suppression of free speech, raising concerns about privacy and civil liberties. The DHS insists that these measures are necessary to protect national security and ensure that individuals entering the country do not pose a threat.
