“That’s false. Permanent residents retain the same rights as always to enter and leave the country,” the embassy pointed out, thus rejecting versions that attributed a supposed restrictive measure to the past administration of former President Donald Trump.

Authorities urged the population to get information only through official channels and avoid spreading unverified content that could generate confusion or alarm, especially among migrant communities.
