White House: Green card holders will need additional screening before returning to US by Doina Chiacu on Jan 29, 2017, 2:55 PM Advertisement
 US green card holders will require additional screening before they can return to the United States, the White House said on Saturday. Earlier, a Department of Homeland Security official said people holding green cards, making them legal permanent US residents, were included in President Donald Trump's executive action temporarily barring people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. "It will bar green card holders," Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in an email. A senior White House official later sought to clarify the situation, saying green card holders who had left the United States and wanted to return would have to visit a US embassy or consulate to undergo additional screening. "You will be allowed to re-enter the United States pending a routine rescreening," the official said.
