华盛顿4月27日（路透社）——美国国土安全部周一表示，申请绿卡和入籍的移民过去发表的被其贴上极端主义标签的言论“应受到更严格审查”，这引发了言论自由倡导者的担忧，他们认为这可能会压制第一修正案赋予的权利。
美国公民及移民服务局发言人扎克·卡勒表示：“某些行为和言论可能会引起美国公民及移民服务局审查人员的严重担忧，包括宣扬恐怖主义意识形态、表达对美国价值观的仇恨、鼓吹以暴力推翻美国政府，或为恐怖组织提供物质支持。”他补充道：“此类行为应受到更严格审查。”美国公民及移民服务局是国土安全部的下属机构。
国土安全部的这份声明是对《纽约时报》周末一篇报道的回应。该报道援引文件称，根据唐纳德·特朗普政府的新指导方针，移民如今可能因表达政治观点而被拒发绿卡，例如参加亲巴勒斯坦抗议、批评以色列以及焚烧美国国旗。

据该报报道，特朗普政府将批评以色列列为潜在的取消资格因素，国土安全部的培训材料将一条“停止以色列在巴勒斯坦的恐怖行径”并划掉以色列国旗的社交媒体帖子作为可疑言论的例子。
报道还称，移民官员被告知将这些因素视为“压倒性负面因素”。
批评人士和人权团体已就言论自由和正当程序问题提出担忧。
美国民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦在社交媒体平台X上写道：“特朗普计划根据他是否同意你的言论来拒绝你在美国的合法居留权。什么时候批评外国政府的行为成了‘反美’了？”
民权组织“捍卫权利与异议”表示：“这是对言论自由令人极其不安的攻击，政府将纯粹基于政治观点的表达来决定谁能入境美国。”
特朗普此前已采取行动打压亲巴勒斯坦运动，包括试图驱逐外国抗议者、威胁冻结举办抗议活动的大学的资金，并审查移民的在线言论。
去年，特朗普政府表示将对移民申请进行“反美主义”和反犹主义审查。
特朗普称亲巴勒斯坦运动是反犹主义并支持极端主义。
包括一些犹太团体在内的活动人士表示，政府将对以色列袭击加沙及其占领巴勒斯坦领土的批评与反犹主义混为一谈，将倡导巴勒斯坦权利与支持极端主义混为一谈。
在一起试图驱逐的案件中，当局针对塔夫茨大学毕业生鲁梅伊萨·厄兹图尔克的唯一依据，是她在学生报纸上共同撰写的一篇批评塔夫茨大学对以色列加沙战争回应的社论。

US DHS to vet immigrants for what it calls extremist views, raising free speech concerns

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Monday that past statements espousing what it labeled extremist views from immigrants applying for green cards and naturalization would “warrant closer scrutiny,” causing free speech advocates to raise concerns that it could stifle First Amendment rights.
The DHS statement came in response to a weekend report by the New York Times, which cited documents saying that under new guidance by President Donald Trump’s administration, immigrants can now be denied a green card for expressing political opinions, like participating in pro-Palestinian protests, criticizing Israel and desecrating the American flag.

“Certain behaviors and statements may raise serious concerns for USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) personnel reviewing an applicant’s file, including espousing terrorist ideologies, expressing hatred for American values, advocating for the violent overthrow of the United States government, or providing material support to terrorist organizations,” USCIS spokesman Zach Kahler said.
“Such actions warrant closer scrutiny,” he added. USCIS is a part of DHS.
The Trump administration includes criticism of Israel as a potentially disqualifying factor, with DHS training materials, citing as an example of questionable speech a social media post that declares, “Stop Israeli Terror in Palestine” and shows the Israeli flag crossed out, the newspaper reported.

Immigration officers were told to weigh those factors as “overwhelmingly negative,” it added.
Critics and rights groups have raised free speech and due process concerns.
“Trump plans to deny legal residency in the U.S. based on whether he agrees with your speech. Since when did it become ‘anti-American’ to criticize the actions of a foreign government?” Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen wrote on the social media platform X.
“This is an incredibly disturbing attack on free speech, with the government deciding who can enter the country based purely on their expression of political views,” civil liberties group Defending Rights and Dissent said.
Trump has cracked down on pro-Palestinian movements by attempting to deport foreign protesters, threatening to freeze funds for universities where protests were held and scrutinizing immigrants’ online speech.
Last year, the Trump administration said it would vet immigration applications for “anti-Americanism” and antisemitism.
Trump alleges pro-Palestinian movements are antisemitic and support extremists.
Activists, including some Jewish groups, say the government conflates criticism of Israel’s assault on Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian territories with antisemitism, and advocacy for Palestinian rights with support for extremism.
In one attempted deportation case, the sole basis authorities provided to act against Tufts University graduate Rumeysa Ozturk was an editorial she co-authored in a student newspaper criticizing Tufts’ response to Israel’s war on Gaza.
