Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa restrictions aimed at foreign officials who engage in social media censorship of Americans. However, his administration is simultaneously monitoring immigrants' social media to seek dissenting views. Rubio argued it's inappropriate for foreign officials to threaten U.S. citizens based on their online expressions, ignoring his own administration's actions against immigrant speech.
