flag The Trump administration is blocking H-1B visa applicants involved in U.S. speech suppression, citing national security.

flag The Trump administration has implemented stricter H-1B visa vetting, requiring consular officers to review applicants’ resumes and social media profiles for past work in content moderation, fact-checking, or online safety, particularly in tech and social media sectors. flag The policy, based on a State Department memo, deems individuals involved in suppressing protected speech in the U.S. ineligible under immigration law, citing national security and free expression concerns. flag It applies to both new and repeat applicants and follows a $100,000 fee increase and broader visa scrutiny efforts. flag The move, aimed at preventing foreign nationals from participating in speech suppression, has raised concerns among tech firms and advocates over its impact on skilled immigration.
