Blanche v. Lau · ¶62

First of all, an LPR who is classified as “seeking an admission” may be immediately detained or paroled. See §1226(a) (providing that “an alien may be arrested and detained pending a decision on whether the alien is to be removed from the United States”); §1182(d)(5)(A) (authorizing the Government to parole “alien[s] applying for admission to the United States”). The downsides of detention are obvious. But even when an LPR is paroled—and thus allowed to enter the United States without being admitted, see §1182(d)(5)(A); ante, at 3—serious negative repercussions flow from an LPR’s being deemed to be “seeking an admission.”
