Have a valid Green Card? You might still face deportation - Here's why
Holding a Green card is a dream for many immigrants, however thousands of green card holders are now scared due to President Donald Trump's stricter immigration rules.
In a similar case of Green card, a woman was deported from Puerto Rico even though she had an approved Permanent Employment Certification (PERM). She had traveled outside the US but forgot to take her original travel permit with her. Her husband sent her a scanned copy, hoping it would be okay for re-entry.
But when she arrived, immigration officers did not accept the scanned document. Without giving her much of an explanation, they sent her back.

Now, things have gotten worse for the woman. Authorities are accusing her of fraud because she tried to enter the US with just a photocopy of her travel permit.
Her immigration lawyer said they now have to start the PERM process all over again. This could take a lot of time—possibly months or even years. It also means more money, effort, and stress.
This case shows how strict the US immigration system can be. Even small mistakes, like not carrying the original travel document, can cause serious problems.
It's a warning for others going through the immigration process: even if your paperwork is approved, you must be extra careful. One small error can lead to very big consequences.
Immigrants are often under close watch, and honest mistakes are not always forgiven. The system leaves little room for error, and people can suffer greatly even if they didn't mean to do anything wrong.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that Green cards visas are 'privilege.'
USCIS' commitment to security and the enforcement of our immigration laws is unwavering. Green cards and visas are a privilege reserved for those who make the U.S. better, not those who seek to destroy it from the inside.

Bill Clinton slams Donald Trump's governing style: ‘We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime'
Former US President Bill Clinton criticised Donald Trump's defiance of legal norms and called for a renewed national focus on common ground, warning against political intimidation and democratic erosion. Clinton described Trump's governing style as unprecedented in modern US history. 'We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, 'Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It's my way or the highway,'' he told CBS. 'And most Americans don't agree with that.' Clinton also suggested Trump's aggressive rhetoric and disregard for norms may have diminished his popularity. 'I like to think that he's paid a price for this – you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around… I think it's made him less popular.' Clinton emphasised that the only path to countering Trump lies in democratic participation, saying, 'Only elections are going to change this.' He said Democratic gains in this year's gubernatorial races and a potential House win in 2026 could help galvanize opposition to Trump. He also pointed to the judiciary as a remaining check on executive overreach. Clinton condemned Trump's reported efforts to prevent law firms from representing clients before federal agencies if they opposed him. 'That ain't America,' Clinton said. 'We've never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard.' He praised the courts — including judges appointed by Trump — for resisting these attempts: 'The courts are stopping the president, including a lot of judges he appointed… He is looking for ways to basically defy all these court orders. But I think he'll have a hard time doing that. And if he does, I think it will hurt him in America.' Despite acknowledging deep political divisions, Clinton urged Americans to reject humiliation and divisiveness in favor of mutual respect. 'Someone needs to stand up and say, 'Damn it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away. We cannot destroy other people's trust in us.'' 'We gotta just calm down and try to pull people together again. That's what I think.' Clinton dismissed claims from a recent book that questioned President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities, saying he never observed any decline. 'I thought he was a good president… I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can't do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.' He admitted he hadn't read the book, stating: 'I didn't want to. 'Cause he's not president anymore, and I think he did a good job. And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was reelected.'

'There is no Joe Biden': Trump shares wild theory claiming former president is a clone
Donald Trump shared an outlandish conspiracy theory, claiming that former US president Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and now what stands in his place is a robotic clone. Trump, who remains active on his social media platform Truth Social, reposted a message late Saturday from a little-known user named 'llijh', who has fewer than 1,000 followers. The original post read, 'There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see.> #Democrats dont know the difference.' Though Trump didn't comment on the validity of the claim, his decision to share the post has drawn widespread attention. The president is known for mocking opponents online, and critics suggest the post may be another example of him trolling political rivals. The two men last met in person at the 2025 presidential inauguration roughly five months ago, having previously shared the debate stage during both the 2020 and 2024 campaigns. Since leaving office, Biden has become the focus of increasing scrutiny, particularly over his mental and physical health. Speculation intensified following the release of a recent book, 'Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,' which questions his fitness for office. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Trump has publicly questioned whether Biden was truly in charge of his administration, pointing to his use of an autopen to sign official documents, a process currently under investigation by House Republicans. 'I think the autopen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time,' Trump said on Friday during a White House event attended by tech billionaire Elon Musk. 'He's been a sort of a moderate person over his life, and a smart person, but somewhat vicious person, I will say, if you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry because he's vicious,' The New York Post quoted. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers, led by house oversight committee chairman James Comer, have launched a probe into the president's health, summoning five close associates for questioning. Last month, Biden's team confirmed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Despite the diagnosis, Biden remains optimistic about his progress. 'We're going to be able to beat this,' he told reporters in New Castle, Delaware on Friday. 'We're working on everything, it's moving along. I feel good.'
