Green Card Holders Warned: Don’t Risk Leaving the US
The Trump administration’s intensified immigration enforcement is impacting green card holders, international students, and H-1B visa holders, leading to increased scrutiny at ports of entry. Attorneys report that lawful permanent residents are facing prolonged detentions, coercion into relinquishing their status, and a lack of due process, contravening established legal procedures. These actions are raising concerns about violations of individual rights and potential abuse of power, particularly given instances of individuals being interrogated and even deported without clear legal justification. The administration maintains that it is simply enforcing existing laws, but critics argue that these actions represent a disregard for judicial processes and fair treatment.
