Trump Admin Pauses Student Visas Amidst Expanded Social Media Vetting
The Trump administration's reported pause on student visa interviews has sparked debate and concern worldwide. The pause, according to a leaked cable, is to allow for expanded social media vetting of applicants. This has raised questions about the criteria for screening and the potential for bias. "The reason why shocked everyone," explains news commentator Dylan Page in a recent video, "is the expansion of required social media screening and vetting." Page's video highlights articles from Just the News and Politico, detailing the administration's actions. Furthermore, the video cites instances of social media posts and protests that might be considered in the vetting process, highlighting the potential for overreach. The implications of this policy for international students and universities remain a significant concern.
