Unions are trying to stop Trump from kicking out immigrants over social media posts
"The Trump administration's heightened monitoring of immigrants' social media accounts seeking grounds to revoke their visas stifles the speech rights of both noncitizens and citizens alike, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) alleges in a new lawsuit."
"The lawsuit seeks to end the State Department's "Catch-and-Revoke" policy, which threatens to strip visaholders of their legal status to stay in the US should the government's AI-assisted reviews of social media accounts turn up what the administration determines to be support for Hamas or other designated terror organizations. What counts toward that definition might be fairly broad, given that President Donald Trump recently labeled Antifa a domestic terrorist organization in an executive order."
"The EFF filed the lawsuit on behalf of labor unions including the United Automobile Workers, Communications Workers of America, and American Federation of Teachers, whose members include immigrants who could be subject to the visa revocation program."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) alleges that heightened monitoring of immigrants' social media accounts seeks grounds to revoke visas and suppresses speech rights of noncitizens and citizens alike. The lawsuit aims to end the State Department's "Catch-and-Revoke" policy that threatens to strip visa holders of legal status if AI-assisted reviews find what the government deems support for Hamas or other designated terrorist organizations. The scope of prohibited expression may be broad, noting a recent executive order labeling Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. The EFF filed the suit on behalf of labor unions with immigrant members who could face revocation.
