Overview

• USCIS posted on June 25 that green card and visa holders who advocate violence or support terrorist activity will have their immigration status revoked.
• The warning stresses that lawful permanent residency is a privilege conditional on obeying US laws and upholding national values.
• USCIS updated Form I-693 rules on June 11 to limit medical exam validity to the life of the linked application, requiring new exams for withdrawn or denied cases.
• The directive builds on a one-strike catch-and-revoke policy announced in April, under which noncitizens convicted of serious crimes face immediate status cancellation.
• An estimated 12.8 million green card holders now face stricter enforcement as the administration channels nearly $150 billion into border security and deportation efforts.
