Hey, the government can decide whether something qualifies as grounds to revoke a green card or not, that's totally legitimate and I support it.
But, once they do, the guy is still entitled to a lawyer. Vanishing the guy and telling the lawyer that they aren't allowed to know where their client is or whether he's still alive is not legitimate.
- nerevarthelame 2y agoIt's really not as simple as "hey, the government can decide." To have a green card revoked, the person must be an active member of a group at war with the US or have committed some kind of fraud. DHS must initiate it (not the State Department, despite Rubio's statements), and it must be approved by an immigration judge. So far all we've heard about this process and the justification is "Contact the White House."
- OgsyedIE 2y agoThere are more causes for revocation in the law than just those two.

It must go through a process which affords the green card holder due process. There are specific grounds which are required to be met to remove someone's green card. And it absolutely cannot be revoked because the government disfavors ones political speech. That's an absolutely fundamental violation of the first amendment and our right to free speech.
