The Trump administration has ordered US government agencies to deny green cards to immigrants expressing views critical of the Israeli government or its policies.
Green card applicants will be vetted for anti-American and “anti-semitic” views, and can be denied a green card for posting criticism of Israel on social media, participating in pro-Palestinian protests, and desecrating the American flag.
The directive includes criticism of Israel as a factor that can disqualify immigrants from receiving green cards.
Critics say the Trump administration has conflated opposition to Israeli government policies with anti-semitism.
