WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes.
The 6-3 decision centers around an immigration officers’ 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.
Lau argued that overstepped the officer’s authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey.
Why Ketanji Brown Jackson warned SCOTUS just issued "blank check"
A divided Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Tuesday that the federal government can strip returning green card holders of their standard legal status if they travel abroad while facing pending, unproven criminal allegations.
The decision drew a scathing dissent from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who accused the conservative majority of bypassing explicit limits set by Congress and handing the executive branch a dangerous “blank check” to upend the lives of millions of permanent residents.
“Indeed, even for wartime powers, Congress rarely gives the President a ‘blank check,’” Jackson wrote, warning that an administration hostile to immigration could easily weaponize routine travel to leave legal residents vulnerable to mandatory detention over allegations that may ultimately be dismissed.

Immigration officers may consider pending criminal charges when deciding whether to readmit green card holders into the country on temporary status, the US Supreme Court said.
In a 6-3 ruling Tuesday, the court said the Immigration and Nationality Act does not require border officers to have a conviction or confession to a crime involving moral turpitude before paroling lawful permanent residents into the country.
