Islamabad (Aug 23): Pakistani students and other visa holders in the United States are facing growing uncertainty as the Trump administration intensifies its scrutiny of social media activity for anti-American or extremist content, Dawn reported on Saturday.
As part of the broader immigration vetting process, US authorities are reportedly reviewing online posts and interactions for any signs of hostility toward American citizens, culture, government, or institutions.
According to the report, even minor infractions, political activity, or incomplete documentation could jeopardize the legal status of students and workers, raising concerns within Pakistan’s academic and expatriate community.
The development comes at a time when thousands of Pakistani students are enrolled in US universities, making the United States one of the top destinations for higher education from Pakistan.
