US Issues New Order to Detain Migrants Without Green Cards
2026-02-24
[KhaamaPress] The United States has introduced a new directive empowering immigration authorities to detain migrants colonists who have not secured permanent residency status.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has directed immigration officers to detain migrants colonists who fail to obtain green cards within one year.

According to a report by The Washington Post, the directive was issued in a formal memo to Customs and Immigration forces, outlining new enforcement measures.

Under the order, migrants colonists who have not completed the legal process for permanent residency within a year could be taken into custody while their immigration cases are re-examined.

Reports indicate that those affected may be held for an unspecified period until a final review of their legal status is completed.

Authorities have not disclosed how many migrants colonists fall under the new rule, but the measure could affect thousands, including some Afghan nationals awaiting residency decisions.

Immigration experts say prolonged detention may raise legal and humanitarian concerns, particularly for individuals whose cases remain pending without a final determination.

Following the 2021 fall of Afghanistan’s former government, tens of thousands of Afghans were relocated to the United States under special programs, many still navigating complex immigration procedures.
