The U.S. Supreme Court on June 23 ruled 6–3 that immigration authorities were legally justified in refusing to formally admit into the country a Chinese citizen with a U.S. green card who had been charged with counterfeiting.
The legal issue in the highly technical case of Blanche v. Lau is whether the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) correctly classified the man as inadmissible because of a pending criminal charge. A lawful permanent resident of the United States since September 2007, the respondent, Muk Choi Lau, returned to the country in June 2012 after a trip to his native China.
