- The Trump administration increased social media surveillance to target specific groups.
- A 'Catch and Revoke' strategy was introduced, using AI to monitor foreign nationals' public speech and revoke visas for perceived abuses.
- At least 300 visas, mainly student and visitor visas, were revoked for activities deemed contrary to national interest.
- Student visa applicants are now required to set their social media accounts to public for stricter vetting.
- The vetting aims to identify individuals with hostile attitudes toward U.S. citizens, culture, government, or founding principles.
