Global Entry Being Revoked for Green Card Holders from the 7 Countries (?)
I'm going to be keeping this really vague, to try to protect people as much as possible (though that is probably in vain, given the nature of the info in this post).
Earlier today, I was talking to a friend/colleague of mine who is originally from one of the 7 majority-Muslim countries targeted by the EO, and who has a green card and global entry. Yesterday afternoon/evening, this person received an email stating that the global entry privileges had been revoked. He/she immediately reached out to a number of his/her colleagues from that same country, with the same background, and found that had happened to them as well.
Not awesome, but no surprise, I suppose, though it does show a level of disappointing "initiative" and thoroughness by someone in that agency.
However, here's the kicker. When I found that out, I reached out to some of my friends from that same community, and, yes, the same thing had happened to them. One of my more remote friends, though, is apparently now a naturalized US citizen (I didn't know that previously), and the *same thing happened to him/her.* I don't know if that is a fluke, I don't know if it is widespread, but it is a chilling data point.
