Yeah, I hope someone challenges that on 4th amendment grounds. Accessing someone's SM accounts is absolutely not necessary for determining whether someone meets the qualifications of citizenship, permanent residency, or temporary visa status. Constitutional protections exist for anyone on US soil, and that even includes undocumented immigrants (i.e. you have more rights if you come illegally than legally, ironically).

I hope someone stands up for their rights and challenges this on constitutional grounds. This isn't the ideal court for it, but we work with what we've got.
