Blanche v. Lau · ¶8

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the removal order. It concluded that Lau should have been regarded as already admitted upon arrival unless the border officer had “clear and convincing” evidence that Lau had committed the crime, which it held that the officer lacked. Muk Choi Lau v. Bondi, 130 F. 4th 42, 46 (2025). Because the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not impose that requirement, we vacate the Second Circuit’s judgment.
