WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Wednesday it has issued updated guidance on President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration clarifying that legal permanent residents, or green card holders, do not require a waiver to enter the United States.

"They no longer need a waiver because if they are a legal permanent resident they won't need it anymore," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said at a news briefing.

The restriction on green card holders was among the most confusing element in the executive order signed on Friday.

Initially, administration officials said such permanent legal residents were barred from entry under the executive order, although they could apply for a waiver and be rescreened.

After the ensuing outcry -- including legal challenges -- over legal residents being detained, the Homeland Security Department said on Sunday green card holders would be allowed on planes to the United States and would be assessed upon arrival. "We expect swift entry for these individuals," DHS said.

Spicer said the White House counsel issued an update on Wednesday to clarify that those legal permanent residents no longer need a waiver.

"Initially, as the program was lifting off, the idea was that they would go through be granted a waiver, of which everyone was," Spicer told the news briefing. "In the sake of efficiency, we have interpreted the guidance to all of these agencies ... that that does not apply, they no longer need a waiver."
Considering the outcry, I wonder if the same would happen for DACA? If DACA was revoked for a specific end time and....would "counsel" simply update an executive order to have it reinstated like before?

This is great news!

My grandmother is an LPR and she was nervous as to whether she would be allowed back in.

Good news. I just hope this wasn't part of the strategy that this person suggests.

No but the news had been circulating lies about LPRs being questioned at airports and possibly being asked to sign some bullshit form.

This will make her be more relaxed. She is old and stresses out about a lot of shit.


Blame Mexican TV for instigating fear. She is already planning to make room for us in her house in Mexico for when Trump sends us back.


lol

Yeah I hate how the media takes everything out of proportion. My mom is in the same situation, she scared of Trump because of the media.

My family showed me what you spoke of while on a trip. It was about talking about some immigrants signing away their residency via the I-407 form.

Not sure if it is a lie or not, but one should be cautious about the reports. Before, ICE pressured detainees to sign expedited removal forms.

It was confirmed by several immigration attorneys on Twitter, including David Leopold and Greg Siskind, that people were forced to sign the waiver without an attorney or an interpreter present.
