Green Card holders: Here's the new rule for entering and leaving the U.S.
Facial scans will soon be required for all Green Card holders at U.S. airports, land crossings, and seaports.
en.as.comHere’s a quick update on the latest developments related to Green Cards and Homeland Security.
-
There have been several high-profile media reports and policy discussions about changes to immigration enforcement and Green Card procedures under the current administration, including considerations of how country of origin and heightened vetting might influence discretionary decisions in Green Card cases. These discussions have appeared in news outlets and media channels over the past year.[1][2][3]
-
In late 2025 and into 2026, there were reports about policy shifts under DHS leadership that could affect Green Card holders and applicants, including stricter scrutiny during the adjustment of status process and reviews of eligibility criteria at various decision points.[4][5][6]
-
Some outlets have emphasized the possibility of expanded enforcement actions or additional verification requirements for Green Card holders traveling or re-entering the U.S., though the specifics and legal footing vary by source and have not always been uniformly confirmed by official government statements.[5][4]
-
There are also a number of sensational or speculative videos and articles from non-government sources discussing hypothetical or proposed rules, but these should be evaluated carefully against official DHS/USCIS publications or guidance.[1][4][5]
