The New York Times reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has created a new unit focused on deportation efforts targeting some immigrants who hold legal permanent residency. The reporting describes the unit as an “removal apparatus” and says it is tasked with identifying and vetting thousands of people with green cards for possible removal from the United States. The articles indicate the initiative involves reviewing permanent residents as part of broader enforcement actions. Details on how individuals are selected, the specific legal grounds applied, and the pace or scope of the process are not fully specified in the provided summaries. The reporting frames the move as an expansion of DHS’s efforts beyond traditional removals, emphasizing that the unit’s work includes scrutiny of people who already have permanent residency status. The reports do not suggest that removal is automatic for all individuals under review, but they characterize the effort as directed toward green card holders and associated with renewed deportation activity.
