- Abstract
18 Although the Form I-407 has legitimate purposes, including granting a fiscal break from United States taxes to LPRs who no longer wish to live in the United States, it becomes problematic when CBP agents coerce permanent residents to abandon their status. 185 If a CBP agent had enough power in an interview to coerce the Aziz brothers to leave the United States through misrepresentations, it seems similarly probable that a CBP agent could do the same during any Form I-407 interview. 190 However, part of a CBP agent's job description is to know the contents of CBP manuals in order to secure America's borders, so it does not seem unreasonable to require agents to not only know the law but to represent it correctly to individuals appearing for admission to the United States. 8 Reports suggest the United States deported as many as sixty permanent residents after CBP agents coerced LPRs into giving up his or her green cards upon arrival to the United States. 2019 / How Voluntary Abandonment of Permanent Resident Status and Coercion Don't Mix 168 Rosenberg is a case in which CBP agents admitted a Swiss national to the United States as a permanent resident, where he continuously resided except for a couple hours' visit to Ensenada, Mexico.
