Supreme Court sides with Trump administration on immigration case dealing with green card holders

The 6-3 ruling lets immigration officers rely on criminal records or database hits before fuller evidence is developed in removal proceedings.

  • On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Blanche v. Lau, reaffirming federal authority to treat criminal lawful permanent residents as "applicants for admission" upon reentry, streamlining deportation proceedings.
  • The Second Circuit previously imposed a "clear and convincing evidence" standard requiring border officers to hold mini-trials at ports of entry, which the Supreme Court vacated as impractical.
  • Justice Clarence Thomas authored the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, holding that officers can rely on reliable database hits rather than burdensome evidentiary requirements.
  • DHS celebrated the ruling, stating it provides a necessary tool to prevent criminals from entering and helps prioritize removing public safety threats by streamlining deportation processes.
