Supreme Court sides with government in green card case

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that immigration officials do not need to establish clear and convincing evidence at the border to place returning green card holders on immigration parole, allowing removal proceedings to begin based on later-developed evidence. The decision centered on Muk Choi Lau, a lawful permanent resident accused of trademark counterfeiting, whose case highlighted a dispute over when and how evidence against green card holders is evaluated.
