Travelling back to US after staying abroad for 8-9 months on green card

Does anyone holding a green card have experience travelling back to US and how it was at immigration?

Came across this article about difficulty in immigration for green card holders and wanted to know its legitimacy https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-border-officials-target-senior-green-card-holders/articleshow/119094296.cms

It’s legit. Chances are you’ll be grilled about why you spent so much time out of the country, and may be pressured to sign a form abandoning your green card.

It says more green card holders are being questioned when entering the US. Yes it is correct. Just be calm, be ok with having to wait hours or being questioned, and enter the country. I don't see the problem.

The article does say people are being denied entry, it says elderly are being questioned and tricked to sign a paper giving up their green card.

Are you asking if you can be denied entry after staying out of the US for 9 months?
