Washington, May 29 (RHC)-- The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has halted the processing of visas for foreign students as it prepares to require additional social media vetting for every applicant. 

A cable issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio Tuesday orders U.S. embassies and consulates to halt interviews with prospective students until further notice. 

This comes after the Trump administration revoked the visas of international students who’ve spoken out in favor of Palestinian rights.
