Travelling Abroad With A Green Card? New US Supreme Court Ruling Could Matter

Summary

The US Supreme Court has made a landmark ruling that gives border officials more authority over green card holders with pending criminal matters, potentially making international travel more complicated for them. This decision allows immigration authorities to treat returning green card holders as applicants for admission into the United States without needing clear and convincing evidence of criminal conduct. The ruling could have significant implications for the nearly thirteen million lawful permanent residents in the United States, potentially making it easier for certain green card holders to be placed into removal proceedings.
