"Green Card Holders Face Uncertainty: US Authorities Clarify Status. A recent statement from US authorities has left many permanent residents wondering about the security of their status in the country. According to officials, Green Cards issued to individuals residing within the US are considered discretionary, rather than automatic rights. This clarification has sparked concerns among the estimated 9.5 million lawful permanent residents, who may now face increased scrutiny or even deportation if their status is deemed 'discretionary' by immigration authorities. The move has raised questions about the future of these individuals and their families, who have built lives in the US under the assumption of permanent residency."
Authorities say Green Cards from inside US are discretionary, not automatic rights.
