Court to decide whether immigration agents can presume guilt

 César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández for SCOTUSBlog looks at Bondi v. Lau, in which "the justices are likely to consider whether border officials can rely on criminal charges alone to decide that permanent residents have committed an offense that can allow the government to remove them from the country." The case involves Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese citizen, who became a permanent resident of the United States in 2007. The question presented is whether, to remove a lawful permanent resident who committed a criminal offense and was subsequently paroled into the United States, the government must prove that it possessed clear and convincing evidence of the offense at the time of the lawful permanent resident's last reentry into the United States.
