Hi Peter! Thank you for doing this. Are you seeing any issues/concerns with Green Card holders traveling internationally and returning to the US in the past few months?

Only that even with green card holders, we have seen instances where CBP is asking to see electronic devices and reviewing their social media accounts. But we haven't had a green card holding client detained or denied admission.

lol. in LA everyone's instagram just shows ICE getting beaten and the epstein files posts that follow these. I wonder how fun it must be to travel nowadays.

There is the case of a German Green Card holder being detained: https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/05/09/nashua-german-am...

There’s also some tourists being detained, e.g. https://www.dw.com/en/german-nationals-us-immigration-detain... One common thread seems to be past DUIs, misdemeanors and infractions.
