Blanche v. Lau · ¶85

I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check. With today’s decision, the Court allows the Government to return an LPR to the status of “seeking an admission” upon his entry at the border, so long as the Government is able to show later that he was eventually convicted. That sequencing undermines the plain terms and basic operation of the relevant statutory scheme, which guarantees that LPRs will not be “regarded as seeking an admission” at the border unless certain exceptions apply. §1101(a)(13)(C).
