The United States has introduced a new immigration policy warning that visas and green cards will be revoked if holders are found involved in violence, supporting terrorism, or engaging in hateful activities.

Legal Residence Is a Privilege, Not a Righ

US immigration authorities emphasized that living in the country on a visa or green card is a privilege. Any violation of law or values may result in losing legal status.

Policy Targets Both Illegal Immigrants and Legal Residents

The policy applies not only to undocumented immigrants but also to individuals holding valid visas or permanent residency permits.

New “Catch‑and‑Revoke” Initiative Underway

The government has launched a “catch‑and‑revoke” enforcement approach aimed at promptly stripping immigration status from individuals guilty of serious misconduct.

Green Card Holders Included in Crackdown

Officials confirmed that green card holders engaged in violent or extremist activities are subject to immediate deportation and their residency status may be revoked.

Student Protesters and Political Speech Under Scrutiny

Immigration authorities have begun revoking visas of students involved in protests especially those linked to terrorism or hate raising concerns over possible overreach.

Impact on Outbound Applicants and International Trave

Foreign students or workers with pending applications could face increased screening. The government has urged caution and clarity in social media posts or public activism.

Concerns Over Civil Liberties and Due Process

Legal advocates warn that the policy allows revocations without judicial review and may infringe on free speech and fair process protections.

Policy Aims to Strengthen National Security

Authorities defend the plan, stating it reinforces national security and prevents the misuse of the immigration system by those who oppose US values.
