This is an actual breaking of the first amendment. Visa's and Greencards grant the holders full rights as US citizens. As long as they haven't broken the law, there is no lawful way the Visa or Greencard can be revoked.

I run a podcast that's taking on classic lit in (rough) chronological order. It's covered 19th-century archaeologist spats, why knowing Homer used to be part of college admission requirements, and how most cultures have a story about cutting off a god's junk: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...
