"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USCIS</a>, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas. "The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MuslimTravelBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MuslimTravelBan</a>, which also asked federal agencies to identify <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immigrants</a> in the U.S. who hold '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HostileAttitudes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HostileAttitudes</a>” toward the government."'This policy would disparately impact <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Muslim</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arab</a> applicants seeking <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USCitizenship</a>.”"The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
