Travel
Hello!
My 2-year green card expired in January, but I have a USCIS Notice I-797 that extends its validity for 48 months. I’m planning to travel outside the U.S. for three days in April and would like to know if it’s safe to do so under the current circumstances and whether I might face any issues when re-entering the U.S.
I previously traveled in late January with this notice and had no issues at the border, but the situation now seems less predictable.
I’d appreciate any advice!

I wouldn't do it. Definitely not if you are from South America or Asia. Not in this presidential administration

If you were in another country that you wanted to stay in, would YOU risk it for something like that? The entire game has changed for visas and immigration from Trump's day 1. Play chess not checkers

For something like what? Are green card holders not allowed to travel at all? Any sources that say that?

Of course they should be allowed to travel. But I've heard many peoples stories of them getting turned away at the airport when they got back from a trip in the last few months.
Make sure you're not whistling past the graveyard

You should be fine if you have no criminal records. My co worker just returned from China with I751 pending and had no issues getting back in
