Trump administration orders Gaza-linked social media vetting for visa applicants
Briefly

The Trump administration has instituted a new directive mandating social media vetting for all U.S. visa applicants who have visited the Gaza Strip since January 1, 2007. This internal State Department order extends the vetting to include non-governmental organization workers and diplomats, reflecting a significant tightening of immigration scrutiny for foreign travelers associated with the region. The policy reveals a broader effort to enhance security measures and manage potential risks associated with individuals who have engaged with the Gaza area in recent years.
The Trump administration's new internal directive calls for comprehensive social media vetting of all U.S. visa applicants with any history of being in the Gaza Strip since 2007.
This initiative not only targets traditional visa applicants but extends to NGO workers and individuals in diplomatic roles, ramping up scrutiny on those with ties to the region.
