Green card rule backlash

A new Trump administration rule requiring green card applicants to be in their native countries during the application process has sparked widespread confusion and concern.

Immigration advocates argue the policy is a departure from decades of established procedure and will disproportionately affect families who have already built lives in the United States.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the move during a visit to India, claiming the policy is not targeted at any specific nation but is part of a broader effort to secure the border.

Legal experts expect the rule to face immediate challenges in federal court, as families scramble to interpret how the changes affect their specific visa statuses.
