A green card allows non-citizens to live and work permanently in the United States .

Most green cards are valid for 10 years and then need to be renewed.

Most cases occur because a green card holder commits a crime, including violent crimes, marriage fraud, controlled substance abuse and other offenses.

Mahmoud Khalil was arrested in New York by federal immigration authorities.

He was first brought to a detention center in New Jersey and then flown to another site in Jena , Louisiana .

Khalil 's attorneys are trying to reverse his transfer to Louisiana , calling it "blatantly improper".
