A few headlines is not a signal of mass happenings or a serious cause of concern for the vast majority of legal immigrants.
News is designed to sell the worst possible outcome. It's why people think terrorism is a big deal when you're 100x more likely to die of heart disease.

"Fuck green cards" being a pretty much official edict of the travel ban v1.0. Or the story I cited about one day you try to renew your passport after many decades and they challenge you. You think that happened by mistake? But ignoring that, it's all a bunch of isolated incidents until it happens to you. And it is happening to people. A lot of people would not like to take chances with their civil liberties.
