The Trump administration launched a controversial initiative known as 'Catch and Revoke,' led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, utilizing AI to identify foreign nationals perceived as 'pro-Hamas.' This program reportedly scans social media accounts of student visa holders for any expressions of support for Palestine post-October 7, 2023, and also examines news of protests. Advocates for Palestinian rights caution that this initiative aims to suppress dissent, compromises free expression, and could escalate political repression amid growing public sympathy for Palestinian issues.
The Trump administration is reportedly using AI technologies in order to label foreign nationals in the U.S. as "pro-Hamas" and revoke their visas, a new report finds.
One official said that the administration is taking a "whole of government and whole of authority" approach... seemingly designed to crush dissent.
