As many of you know, a big part of my job is handling O and P US visas for foreign professional athletes and artists traveling to the US to compete/perform/work. Although the recent immigration changes haven't directly affected any of my clients YET, I will sporadically be sharing information I deem important, that can affect both US Citizens, Greencard holders and non-US Citizens looking to enter the US and/or apply for US Visas.
This particular article is pertinent to basically anyone looking to apply for any kind of immigrant or non-immigrant visa and/or enter the US that have been vocal on social media and/or have a public opinion about the current administration, the situation in Gaza, etc...
I strongly disagree with this, I'm just passing along the message.

Today U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests.
