Supreme Court sides with Trump administration in immigration case dealing with green card holders
The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes.
Orange Man Bad. Oh, wait
The 6-3 decision centers on an immigration officer’s 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.
Wait, 2012? Was Trump president back then?
Lau argued that overstepped the officer’s authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey.
The high court disagreed. “Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to “immigration limbo” before he’d been convicted of any crime.
“I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check,” she wrote in a dissent joined by her two liberal colleagues.
Dumbest justice ever. She yammers about things that are not part of a legal decision.
(Cornell) In September 2007, Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national, was admitted to the U.S. as an LPR. In May 2012, Lau was charged with third-degree trademark counterfeiting in New Jersey. Before he went to trial, Lau temporarily left the country. Upon his return to the U.S. in June 2012, Lau was not admitted to the U.S. but instead was paroled due to his pending charge. Later, Lau pled guilty to the counterfeiting charge and was sentenced to two years’ probation. In 2014, DHS sought to remove Lau, alleging that since Lau had committed a crime of moral turpitude, he was ineligible to be admitted into the United States upon his return to the country. Lau challenged DHS’s removal efforts, claiming that as an LPR, he was presumptively already admitted into the United States when arriving from his time abroad.
More at that link, and, yes, the Trump DOJ did argue against Lau, as is their job. But, it started under Obama. Obviously, Sotomayor and Kagen voted in favor of the criminal alien.
Porter William asks: “Wait, 2012? Was Trump president back then?”
He was not. In 2012, he was busy attacking the President. His criticisms back then are a bit embarrassing looking back.
October 9, 2012: “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”
October 22, 2012: “Don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected — be careful Republicans!”
August 16, 2012: “I always said @BarackObama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election.”
President Obama did NOT attack Iran, but he did win the election in a landslide (332-206).
And President Obama DID get the JCPOA enacted in 2015, which the ignorant Donny Dumass* shitcanned in 2018, solely out of envy and spite.
To remind you, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a rigid, multilateral agreement (Russia, UK, US, China, France, Germany, EU) with detailed technical caps on uranium enrichment (3.67%), amount (300 kg), centrifuges and with intrusive IAEA monitoring.

Who doesn’t like Crisco? And Crypto. Funny word too isn’t it? I used to hate crypto until I found out what it was and how a smart president could invent his own and make billions. And I’m really, really smart. Every few months I take those tests where you see a squirrel, giraffe, boxing glove and a tiger. 22 doctors told me they’ve not seen anyone ace those tests like me.”
So Rimjob, who in your family did Matthew James assault?
