Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Wednesday it will begin screening immigrants' social media accounts for signs of antisemitic activity, which could be used as grounds to deny applications for immigration benefits.

The move was quickly met with criticism from free speech advocates, who argued the government should not be using its authority to chill the freedom of speech of its residents, including immigrants who are in the country on a visa or green card.
