AG Pam Bondi has the power to revoke green cards at any time, Justice Department claims

The Justice Department has suggested that Attorney General Pam Bondi has the authority to revoke green cards as she sees fit.

DOJ attorney Lindsay Murphy posited Bondi's alleged power during a Third Circuit hearing in Philadelphia. If the court sides with the Trump administration’s position, it could jeopardize the lawful residency status of the U.S.’s estimated 12.8 million green card holders.

Murphy suggested that the attorney general has full discretion to revoke the permits at any time for any reason, even for legal permanent residents who had lived in the U.S. for decades. People with green cards can live and work in the U.S., receive Social Security, Medicare and financial aid for college and serve in the military.

It comes as Donald Trump continues to ramp up his immigration crackdown, pledging to deport millions of migrants who don’t have the right documentation and fueling concerns for those who do. The president has ordered DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to add 20,000 officers to enforce his deportation policies, and her agency is reportedly considering a TV show that would see migrants competing for citizenship and offering $1,000 incentives to immigrants who self-deport.

3. A DOJ attorney SUGGESTED Any reason whatsoever?? Not so, according to past governmental due process procedures.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), initiates the process by placing a green card holder in removal proceedings if they suspect a violation of immigration law.

There are only 4 grounds on which a green card can be revoked:
1. Abandonment of permanent residence
2. Fraudulent activities
3. Criminal convictions
4. Violation of immigration laws

Court Hearing:
The green card holder is then brought before an immigration judge in an immigration court.


Decision by Immigration Judge:
The immigration judge, part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), hears evidence and makes a decision on whether to revoke the green card.

Burden of Proof:
The government has the burden of proof and must show that the green card holder violated immigration laws.

Appeals:
If an immigration judge rules against the green card holder, they can appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and potentially to a Federal Court of Appeals.


Murphy "posits" pro-Bondi corporate/fascist bullshit and the Third Circuit should have had none of it.
