No. Your parents do not have the right to take your green card or tell the USCIS to cancel it...unless they provide some evidence of crimes you did, etc. If they are just threatening you, they cannot get it taking away.

I don't really see any way that your parents can cancel your green card. If you obtained that status lawfully and intend to reside in the US and do, in fact, reside in the US, they cannot just revoke your status.
