The US Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in an immigration case concerning the government’s authority over green card holders.
The 6-3 decision centres around an immigration officer’s 2012 decision to put green card holder Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip abroad because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.
Lau argued that the officer had 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 trademark counterfeiting.
