US Vice President JD Vance stated that green card holders do not have an absolute right to stay in the country, emphasizing national security concerns. His remarks, made on Fox News, reignited debate on permanent residency rights. Vance spoke in response to the arrest of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder detained for protesting Israel-Hamas war. Immigration lawyers argue green cards can only be revoked for serious crimes, fraud, or prolonged absence. “Deporting green card holders for lawful activities represents a dramatic change,” lawyer Russell Stamets warned. Khalil’s deportation remains blocked pending a court hearing.
