The Supreme Court issued a ruling affecting some Green Card holders returning from travel outside the U.S. This applies only when the government says the person committed certain crimes, so it should not affect most Green Card holders.

Immigration officers may treat a returning Green Card holder as someone seeking admission based on information that the person committed certain crimes.

The officer does not need a conviction or clear and convincing evidence of the crime.

This does not automatically cancel your Green Card. You may be detained or allowed to physically enter the U.S. temporarily on parole.

If you have any criminal history, including an arrest, pending charge, conviction, or admission to a crime, talk to an immigration lawyer before traveling outside the U.S.
