Trump administration directs immigration officials to screen for 'anti-Americanism'

The guidance directs officials to investigate whether applicants have "endorsed, promoted, supported or otherwise espoused anti-American views," including on social media.

It isn't immediately clear what USCIS will consider "anti-American," but the agency said it will make determinations based on a provision in immigration law that bans people from becoming U.S. citizens if they advocate for communism, totalitarianism, violence against officials or the overthrow of the U.S. government.
