Lithuanian elites keep considering Lithuanians who left for America after declaration of recent independence as run away slaves and enforce taking away their Lithuanian citizenship though. The only way to keep both Lithuanian citizenship and to live in America long term is to get an American green card. This is a visa though. It could be taken away for many reasons, as the example below demonstrates. It is difficult for American Lithuanians to support Lithuania after such unfair and harsh treatment that Lithuania gives to them. Their position as runaway slaves is bad for them and bad for Lithuania.
"The Trump Administration's decision to revoke the green-card immigration status of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is becoming a cause celebre, for better and maybe worse. Mr. Khalil may deserve deportation, but he also deserves due process, and revoking green cards as a policy would have costs beyond any individual's fate.
The latter is what Mr. Trump seems to have in mind. "This is the first arrest of many to come," Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social. "We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country -- never to return again," he elaborated on X.com.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted that the Administration "will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported."
The deportation of green-card holders shouldn't be taken lightly. They are permanent residents who sought legal approval and were vetted through official channels. Millions of people consider the green card a guarantee of secure U.S. residency and build their lives around it.
The Khalil case has many green-card holders wondering if they could also be grabbed and deported for espousing controversial political views. That's why the facts of his case and a day in court matter." [1]
