It’s official: Donald Trump has ordered the US State Department to begin “expanded screening” to start the process of revoking VISAs of foreigners who have celebrated Tyler Robinson assassinating Charlie Kirk I can’t even tell you how much this is what I voted for Artificial intelligence will be used to aid in identifying those people “Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted an annex that he has directed consular officials to, quote, undertake appropriate action under President Trump. The State Department has ramped up what it calls expanded screening and vetting of many visa applicants' social media accounts. The State Department has utilized AI technology in the effort.”

🚨MIKE BENZ: "There is no aid in USAID. It's not an aid organization. USAID stands for US Agency for International Development. What it's developing is all the activist organizations in foreign countries that the state department is building to gain influence. USAID was created to be a central hub that organized all the different foreign clandestine operations. It has a $50B budget. The entire intelligence community is only $72B. It's more than the CIA and the State Department. Its a switch player to assist the pentagon, the state department, and the intelligence community."

The Trump administration on Friday announced a sweeping policy designed to make it harder for immigrants already in the U.S. to get permanent residency, or a green card. Officials said they would eliminate the option for many immigrants seeking a green card to complete the process without having to leave the U.S. Instead, in most cases, those immigrants will be required to return to their home countries in order to apply for an immigrant visa overseas through an American consulate. Current and former U.S. immigration officials told Camilo Montoya-Galvez the policy will likely have wide-ranging implications.

Isn’t it ironic that the Department of Justice chose yesterday to near the end of their investigation into Hunter Biden to make their decision whether or not to charge him? It’s a slap in the face to the American people likely designed to lock down evidence @GOPOversight needs.

More birthright tourism companies bringing mothers into America to give birth “The State Department shutting down a sophisticated tourism network after the U.S. Embassy in West Africa revealed more than 100 foreign nationals were using fraudulent documents and visa fixers to illegally obtain American citizenship. And it was a similar story in North Africa. Over 100 visas were just revoked as the embassy there said expecting mothers were coming to America to give birth for the sole purpose of giving their child American citizenship. — investigators managed to trace them to at least 6 companies that coached foreign nations on what to say in their visa interview. The birth tourism companies also arranged housing in America and even set up delivery plans for expectant mothers. Now, the State Department adding, quote, a US visa is a privilege. It is not a right. The State Department is taking action around the world to stop this abuse, to dismantle birth tourism networks, and hold accountable those who try to scam our system”
