USCIS
shared an image that read: 'Green cards and visas will be revoked if an alien breaks the law.' The agency said it will cancel green cards and visas for people found guilty of serious crimes, like supporting or promoting terrorism, a stark reminder that staying in the US is a conditional privilege, not a guaranteed right.
For those unaware, having a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card) allows one to live and work permanently in the US The steps one must take to apply for a Green Card will vary depending on their individual situation.
The USCIS's post states: 'Coming to America and receiving a visa or green card is a privilege. Our laws and values must be respected. If you advocate for violence, endorse or support terrorist activity, or encourage others to do so, you are no longer eligible to stay in the U.S.'

The warning comes amid increased attention to national security and immigration enforcement. USCIS did not mention any specific case or context in the post but made it clear that individuals who break the rules could face serious consequences, including deportation. No additional detail was provided by the agency at the time of publishing.
This comes after the US government recently announced a 'catch and revoke' policy.
What is 'catch and revoke' policy
Earlier this year, the Trump administration introduced a "catch and revoke" policy. Announcing the new policy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: 'There is now a one-strike policy: Catch-And-Revoke. Whenever the government catches non-U.S. citizens breaking our laws, we will take action to revoke their status.'
The policy, first shared on April 30 in a newsletter by Rubio, says it will target immigrants who have been found guilty of crimes like domestic violence and assault.

India to seal interim trade deal with US this week as tariff deadline nears
India is on track to finalise an interim trade deal with the United States as soon as this week to avoid US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs, the Financial Times reported. The interim deal with the US would be among the first with a major US trading partner, and would mark an initial step towards a comprehensive bilateral deal between the US and India. The two countries have signalled their intent to finalise the first tranche of the full agreement by autumn. This comes at a time when the deadline for the Trump tariff nears its end. The 90-day pause was announced on April 9, days after Trump announced sweeping tariffs on more than 100 countries, including India. The US imposed a 26 per cent tariff rate on Indian made goods, as compared to its 52 per cent tariff rate on US-made goods. On Monday (local time), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that a deal between India and the US is to be finalised soon. Reiterating Trump's stance, Leavitt said, 'You'll hear from the President and his team, his trade team, very soon, when it comes to India.' Earlier on June 26, Trump confirmed a 'very big deal' with India coming soon. This was after he signed a trade deal with China. Speaking at an event, Trump said, 'Everybody wants to make a deal and have a part of it. Remember a few months ago, the press was saying, 'You really have anybody of any interest? Well, we just signed with China yesterday. We are having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India. Very big one. Where we're going to open up India, in the China deal, we are starting to open up China.' According to the Financial Times report, the deal is expected to spare its agricultural markets, including dairy and wheat, from the US tariffs. Citing an Indian government official, the report stated that there is 'a lot of sensitivity' over its agricultural markets. To bring down its trade surplus with the US, India agreed to import more natural gas from the US. The trade surplus for the financial year 2024-2025 stood at $41.2 billion. The two sides have also agreed to reduce tariffs on thousands of items. The report also stated that India has managed to shield its dairy sector from foreign competition, including talks with the European Union. India's dairy sector employs over 80 million people. Concerns have been flagged over foreign dairy products, which may come from cows that were raised on feed containing cattle products.

Trump admin sues Los Angeles: Feds accuse mayor of blocking ICE, fueling riots; target 'sanctuary city' policies
The Donald Trump administration has launched a legal battle against Los Angeles, suing the city, mayor Karen Bass, and the city council over its "sanctuary city" policies. In a lawsuit filed Monday, federal officials argue that LA's ordinances defy the Constitution by deliberately blocking immigration enforcement and undermining federal law. "In 2024, then candidate Donald J. Trump campaigned and won the presidential election on a platform of deporting the millions of illegal immigrants the previous administration permitted, through its open borders policy, to enter the country unlawfully. Days after now President Trump won the November 5, 2024 election, the Los Angeles City Council, wishing to thwart the will of the American people regarding deportations, began the process of codifying into law its Sanctuary City policies," the lawsuit said. "The challenged law and policies of the City of Los Angeles obstruct the Federal Government's enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe," it added. The administration claimed the city's stance fueled lawlessness and chaos, pointing to rioting, looting, and vandalism as consequences of shielding undocumented immigrants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Reacting to the lawsuit, LA city councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez said, as quoted by ABC7, Trump is tearing families apart and he's trying to force every city and town to help him carry out his white nationalist agenda. We refuse to stand by and let Donald Trump deport innocent families. We're going to do everything within our power to keep families together." However, attorney general Pam Bondi attributed the recent violence linked to federal immigration raids in the Southland to sanctuary policies. "Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles," she said. "Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens are undermining law enforcement at every level -- it ends under President Trump," Bondi said in a statement, ABC7 reported. Several other cities, like Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Ana, and West Hollywood, have enacted sanctuary policies, a move Trump has often condemned, even warning of cuts to federal funding for those local governments.
