this is insane, CBP can just *say* a permanent resident entering the country has commited a crime, with no burden of proof, and not only forbid them from entering the country but TAKE AWAY THEIR PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS. what the fuck

two bluesky posts by @mjsdc.bsky.social, that say: "The Supreme Court's fifth and final decision is Blanche v. Lau, another 6–3 split. Per Thomas, the government does NOT require clear and convincing evidence that a green card holder committed a crime before divesting them of their lawful status at the border. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-429_h3ci.pdf" and Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad."
