The
US Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) has issued a strong warning for immigrants, saying that green cards and visas will be revoked if a person breaks the law. In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter),
USCIS
shared an image that read: 'Green cards and visas will be revoked if an alien breaks the law.' The agency said it will cancel green cards and visas for people found guilty of serious crimes, like supporting or promoting terrorism, a stark reminder that staying in the US is a conditional privilege, not a guaranteed right.
For those unaware, having a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card) allows one to live and work permanently in the US The steps one must take to apply for a Green Card will vary depending on their individual situation.
The USCIS's post states: 'Coming to America and receiving a visa or green card is a privilege. Our laws and values must be respected. If you advocate for violence, endorse or support terrorist activity, or encourage others to do so, you are no longer eligible to stay in the U.S.'

The warning comes amid increased attention to national security and immigration enforcement. USCIS did not mention any specific case or context in the post but made it clear that individuals who break the rules could face serious consequences, including deportation. No additional detail was provided by the agency at the time of publishing.
This comes after the US government recently announced a 'catch and revoke' policy.
What is 'catch and revoke' policy
Earlier this year, the Trump administration introduced a "catch and revoke" policy. Announcing the new policy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: 'There is now a one-strike policy: Catch-And-Revoke. Whenever the government catches non-U.S. citizens breaking our laws, we will take action to revoke their status.'
The policy, first shared on April 30 in a newsletter by Rubio, says it will target immigrants who have been found guilty of crimes like domestic violence and assault.

Chennai land grab row: NGO seeks action; Rs 100 crore govt land encroached in Ramapuram
CHENNAI: Anti-graft NGO Arappor Iyakkam has appealed to the state govt to retrieve Rs 100 crore worth of revenue land from land grabbers, who, in the name of a temple committee, have been encroaching upon 2.6 acres of land in a prime locality in Ramapuram. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister MK Stalin , Chief Secretary N Muruganandham, and Land Administration Commissioner KS Palaniswamy, the NGO pointed out that the land comprised in survey No 71 was confirmed as govt revenue land by the Madras High Court in 2022. Of the total 5 acres of land, 2.4 acres have been allocated to the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd (TNPDCL) to set up a substation. However, the so-called temple committee of the Kalasathamman temple, which itself is an encroachment located in a small portion of the govt land, has been slowly expanding the temple to bring the entire govt land under their control and has begun the construction of new structures. To restrict people's movement to the land, the encroachers, including local politicians, have shrunk the 11-metre long road to 2.9 metres in the last few years, claims the organisation.
