Trump Administration Reverses Itself Amidst Backlash, Exempts Green-Card Holders From Travel Ban Department of Homeland Security secretary John Kelly has issued a statement declaring that all lawful permanent U.S. residents, known as green-card holders, are to be allowed into the country regardless of their native country, reversing a previous Trump administration position on the issue. The statement, which comes amidst a second day of increasing nationwide backlash and protests against Trump’s new travel ban, is surely meant to eliminate the considerable confusion around how Trump’s vaguely worded order (which temporarily banned citizens of seven majority-Muslim nations, as well as refugees, from entering the United States) applied to lawful permanent residents. The Trump administration is also facing legal challenges to the ban that were originally filed after U.S. visa holders were detained or deported after arriving at U.S. ports of entry following Trump’s order. Those challenges have resulted in two federal court orders temporarily blocking parts of Trump’s executive action. KN150 Review |
