The Trump administration plans to expand social media vetting to Indian green card holders and asylum seekers in the US. Previously applied only to visa applicants abroad, the new policy would require legal residents to disclose their social media accounts for national security screening. Critics argue this could discourage political expression and target dissenters. The move comes amid Trump’s intensified immigration crackdown, including deportations and stricter visa scrutiny. The administration defends the policy as essential for security. Public comments on the proposal are being accepted before implementation. (PC: NDTV)
