Traveling internationally as a Green Card holder can come with unexpected challenges—especially in today’s environment of heightened border enforcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have broad authority at ports of entry, and even lawful permanent residents may face questioning, device searches, or delays. Understanding your rights before you travel can make a significant difference. In this guide, we outline what to expect at the border, how to handle secondary inspection, and the critical steps to take if you are detained. You can also download our full “Know Your Rights” flyer below for easy reference when traveling.
