In a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Department of Homeland Security may revoke lawful permanent resident status if a person leaves the United States while facing pending criminal charges, even without a conviction. The three leftist Justices dissented.
Here Is an Example of a Media Half-Truth
According to the Independent, a left-wing UK outlet, border officers do not need “clear and convincing evidence” that a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. has committed a serious crime before changing their status, according to the nation’s high court.
In a lengthy dissent, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the majority’s ruling “cavalierly swept aside” the rights of green card holders and handed the government a “massive blank check” to rewrite immigration law.
What the Independent and Justice Brown leave out is the part about the pending criminal charges while leaving the country.
In actuality, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that green card holders can be stripped of their legal status if they have pending criminal charges when trying to re-enter the country.
The Court isn’t rewriting immigration law. These people aren’t citizens.
Democrats are demanding that we keep criminals and terrorists in the country if they have a green card without any restrictions.
If a foreigner is facing criminal charges and leaves, why should we take them back? It saves us the cost of expensive, unnecessary trials.
MASSIVE WIN: The U.S. Supreme Court just sided with the Trump administration in a 6-3 decision (Blanche v. Lau) ALLOWING the Department of Homeland Security to treat green card holders / lawful permanent residents as “seeking admission” and STRIP or SUSPEND their legal status… pic.twitter.com/9UI4CxXlqF
