The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration Tuesday, allowing immigration officials to deny green card holders admission to the country.<\/p>\n

The court\u2019s 6-3\u00a0 in Blanche, Acting Attorney General v<\/span>. Lau allows border officials to deny admission \u2014 permission to remain in the U.S. indefinitely \u2014 to a legal permanent resident (LPR) suspected of crime under certain circumstances, authorizing officials to parole such LPRs instead.<\/p>\n

Authorities typically view LPRs as already admitted to the U.S. when they return from temporary travel, under the (INA). This allows traveling green card holders to avoid the rigorous processing new immigrants must undergo.<\/p>\n

However, the INA provides an exception when an official believes the LPR has committed a \u201ccrime involving moral turpitude,\u201d according to court documents. The court ruled border officials do not need to have \u201cclear and convincing evidence that a lawful permanent resident has committed\u201d such a crime before they consider denying that resident admission, according to Justice Clarence Thomas\u2018 majority opinion.<\/p>\n

The case came to the court after Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese citizen and green card holder, appealed an immigration officer\u2019s 2012 decision to place him on parole after he returned from a short trip. New Jersey had accused Lau of trademark counterfeit in May 2012, but Lau decided to travel to China prior to the trial and was paroled upon his return. Lau appealed the parole, arguing the government should have designated him as an \u201calready admitted\u201d LPR instead of labeling him as an applicant \u201cseeking admission,\u201d according to court documents. This distinction allowed the Department of Homeland Security to take swifter action in deporting him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trump administration officials argued that suspicion of a crime is a sufficient reason for placing an LPR on immigrant parole.<\/p>\n

Blanche v. Lau overturned a Second Circuit Court\u2019s ruling that border officials need \u201cclear and convincing evidence\u201d of crime prior to denying admission, instead concluding that Lau had been \u201ccorrectly charged with inadmissibility.\u201d (RELATED: Judge Shuts Down Trump Admin Database Used To Remove Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt step one, the Government regarded him as an alien seeking admission because he had committed a crime involving moral turpitude before attempting to reenter the country. At step two, he was inadmissible and therefore removable because he had been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude,\u201d the majority opinion reads.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Justice Ketanji Brown wrote the dissenting opinion, with Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan concurring. Brown argued that the court\u2019s decision \u201callows the Government to deem an LPR to be \u2018seeking an admission\u2019 first and justify the applicability of an exception later \u2014 undermining the statutory scheme as well as the benefits and security that come with having a green card,\u201d according to court documents.<\/p>\n
