Permanent Residents Exempted from Executive Order

  • Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly issued a statement exempting lawful permanent residents ( green card holders) from President Donald Trump’s January 27, 2017, executive order, deeming the entry of these individuals to be in the national interest. “Absent the receipt of significant derogatory information indicating a serious threat to public safety and welfare, lawful permanent resident status will be a dispositive factor in our case-by-case determinations,” the statement said.
