Consular departments should not add appointments for visas for exchange students or exchange students until further instructions are issued in a separate telegram, Rubio’s telegram states.

The Trump administration has imposed some social media monitoring requirements in the past, but they largely affected students who may have participated in anti-Israel protests over the war in the Gaza Strip.
