Donald Trump is changing US H-1B visa rules again, this time over free speech

The Donald Trump administration will increase vetting for H-1B visa applicants with a specific instruction to reject anyone who was involved in “censorship” of free speech. The instructions were outlined in a US State Department cable sent to US missions abroad on 2 December.

“BE ON THE LOOKOUT: APPLICANTS RESPONSIBLE FOR OR COMPLICIT IN CENSORSHIP OF AMERICANS,” the cable seen by Bloomberg said. Reuters first reported the policy change.
