US green card denials for Israel critics detailed

The Trump administration has issued new immigration guidance allowing officials to deny green cards based on certain political views. The policy, reported by The New York Times, treats participation in pro-Palestinian protests, criticism of Israel, or desecration of the American flag as potential grounds for rejection. It also advises against issuing green cards to individuals who have previously endorsed, promoted, or supported anti-American views. This move formalizes a political litmus test for permanent residency in the United States.
