Supreme Court backs immigration officials in green-card holder reentry case

(The Center Square) – The Supreme Court threw out a federal appeals court ruling in an immigration case Tuesday and returned the case to the court for an alternative ruling. 

In a 6-3 decision, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that immigration officers have broad authority to treat a returning green-card holder as seeking admission to the country even if the government has not yet established by clear and convincing evidence that the person committed a crime involving moral turpitude.
