In a significant policy change, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security now requires all non-citizens aged 18 and above—including H-1B visa and green card holders—to carry valid identification at all times. Approved by a U.S. district court, this rule is aimed at tightening immigration enforcement. Violations may lead to penalties, including six months’ imprisonment or deportation. The directive has sparked concern among the Indian community in the U.S., fearing increased scrutiny. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has stated that compliance will be strictly enforced, with no exceptions or leniency for violators. (PC: India.com)
