US Supreme Court Expands Deportation Powers Over Green Card Holders in Moral Turpitude Cases
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that immigration officials do not need clear and convincing evidence of a crime involving moral turpitude to deny re-entry to Green Card holders, expanding federal authority to initiate removal proceedings. The decision, from the Blanche v. Lau case involving a lawful permanent resident facing counterfeiting charges, reverses lower court requirements. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, warning this could undermine Green Card holders' security and grant excessive government power. The case will return to lower courts for further assessment.
