Supreme Court Lowers Bar for Denying Reentry to Green Card Holders

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has made it simpler for immigration officials to prevent green card holders from re-entering the U.S. after travel abroad. The ruling removes the previous requirement for 'clear and convincing evidence' of a disqualifying crime. Dissenting justices expressed concerns that this decision grants the government broad discretion over the rights of lawful permanent residents.
