ICE Pledges to Stop Illegal 'Ideas' From Entering U.S. -- Then Deletes the Post

ICE pledged to stop illegal “ideas” from entering the United States in a social media post it deleted after receiving backlash.

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.
