The US State Department plans to use artificial intelligence to track foreign students' social media presence for ties to Hamas sympathizers.
Key Points:
- Operation known as 'Catch and Revoke' aims to identify and withdraw visas.
- Authorities to check internal databases for visa holders previously arrested but allowed to stay.
- Monitoring news on anti-Israel demonstrations to locate individuals engaged in anti-Semitism.
- No visa revocations found since October 2023, raising concerns about law enforcement under the Biden administration.
