Supreme Court Decision Eases Denial of Reentry for Green Card Holders with Prior Convictions

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a 6-3 ruling supporting the Trump administration's stance on immigration. This decision simplifies the process for immigration officials to prevent green card holders from re-entering the country if they have previously left. It removes the requirement for 'clear and convincing evidence' that a lawful permanent resident committed a disqualifying crime before being denied readmission.
