Supreme Court Expands Green Card Deportation Powers

The Supreme Court just handed the government a major win in immigration enforcement, allowing green card holders accused of crimes — even before conviction — to be placed on parole and begin deportation proceedings immediately. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court sided with the government, saying suspicion alone is enough to trigger this process, overturning a key precedent. The case traces back to Muk Choi Lau, a lawful permanent resident accused of counterfeiting during a trip to China, who was placed on parole before being convicted. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion, arguing that moral turpitude isn’t required for such action, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fiercely dissented, warning this creates “immigration limbo” and gives the government a “massive blank check.” Advocacy groups are split — some fear unchecked power, others celebrate it as a tool to remove those who “abuse” residency. This ruling fits into a broader trend of the Court expanding executive authority over immigration, especially amid heightened enforcement under recent administrations.
