Are veterans more likely to be denied green cards than active service members? (Yeganeh Torbati)

  • Summary

  • Veterans of the US Armed Forces will have a harder time receiving green cards than currently active service members, according to a new report  from Yeganeh Torbati, Isaac Arnsdorf and Dara Lind of ProPublica. Since Veterans Affairs officials declined to step in to exempt their members from a Trump administration policy restricting green cards for low-income immigrants, vets will not be entitled to any of the exemptions open to currently enlisted military personnel. On this week’s TrumpWatch, Yeganeh considers what the reporting of her and her ProPublica colleagues tells  us about the way this federal agency is being run in the Trump era.
