The united states Citizenship and Immigration services (USCIS) has issued a clear warning to foreign nationals: violators risk losing their green card or visa.
USCIS posted an image on X recently along with the phrase, "Green cards and visas will be revoked if an alien breaks the law." The government clarified that those who are convicted of major offenses, including aiding or abetting terrorism, may have their right to remain in the united states revoked. A Green Card, also known as a Permanent Resident Card, enables an individual to live and work in the united states forever, for those who may not be aware. The procedure to obtain one, however, is contingent upon the individual's circumstances.
The USCIS also wrote: "Coming to the united states and getting a visa or green card is a privilege. You must follow our laws and respect our values. If you support violence, terrorism, or encourage others to do the same, you will lose the right to stay in the country."
The US is focusing on stricter immigration rules
The united states is focusing more on national security and tightening immigration laws at the time of this warning. USCIS made it clear that breaching the law can result in deportation, but it did not cite any particular cases. This also adheres to the government's recently declared "catch and revoke" policy, which states that infractions will be apprehended and their legal documents revoked.
What is the "catch and revoke" policy?
The trump administration unveiled a new immigration regulation earlier this year called the "catch and revoke" strategy. Any foreign national found in violation of U.S. laws could have their visa or green card revoked under this rule.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the policy on X: "Catch-And-Revoke is now the one-strike policy. We will take steps to revoke the status of non-U.S. citizens whenever the government finds them violating our laws."
This implies that the U.S. government will revoke an immigrant's legal status and may deport them if they are found guilty of crimes, particularly serious ones like assault, domestic abuse, or other violent acts. The program, which was initially unveiled in Rubio's newsletter on april 30, is a component of a larger initiative to strengthen national security and enforce immigration laws.
To put it simply, if you are not a citizen of the united states and you commit a crime, you may only be granted one chance before your legal stay in the country is terminated.
