'Torn from my family': Father of 5 no longer a Trump supporter after green card revoked

46-year-old Chris Landry, a Canadian-born legal U.S. resident who’s lived in New Hampshire since age 3, supported President Donald Trump in the last election. But on Sunday, things took a sharp turn. Returning from a family vacation with three of his children via the Maine border, Landry learned his green card — granted in 1981 — had been revoked.

He was warned he’d be arrested if he attempted to reenter without approval.

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again’ and having a strong, unified country and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he told NBC Boston, in a report published Wednesday. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

He says he was held for three hours and questioned about long‑past offenses, including marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license — with convictions dating back to 2004 and 2007. He paid all fines and received suspended 60‑day sentences for each, and asserts he has stayed out of trouble since.

Still, he felt his treatment at the hands of border agents was heavy-handed. “I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to go back home,” he told Manchester, New Hampshire ABC affiliate WMUR.

Landry continued: “It was scary. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal.”

Last month, NPR reported that the Trump administration has intensified criminal background checks for legal permanent residents returning to the U.S., resulting in several high‑profile detentions and even removals.

These stricter screenings have reportedly left many green‑card holders reconsidering whether traveling abroad is worth the risk of potentially being denied reentry.
