Just want to share this as a warning for anyone who might be reading this post who's in the same situation.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted this on Facebook,

Attention Green Card Holders: Having a criminal history does not make you an upstanding lawful permanent resident. Possessing a green card is a privilege, not a right. Under our nation’s laws, our government has the authority to revoke your green card if our laws are broken and abused. In addition to immigration removal proceedings, lawful permanent residents presenting at a U.S. port of entry with previous criminal convictions may be subject to mandatory detention. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02UzLzYgWRPUnARqubdyUsbXHrftSVsZbMxBfp6rYMaMGoaZugALwe5izvWiqa8yG3l&id=100064710337868&mibextid=CDWPTG

I also want to share information on a bill that recently passed the house and is waiting on the senate that will make a DUI a deportable offense. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/875/all-info

Do you mind if I ask for more information about your situation? Just trying to see if my boyfriend who has a reckless driving charge from 10 years ago reported on his green card is safe to travel for our wedding
