US Supreme Court backs Trump administration in Green Card holder deportation case

US Supreme Court backs Trump administration in Green Card holder deportation case The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes. The 6-3 decision centers around an immigration officers’ 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime. Lau argued that overstepped the officer's authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey. The high court disagreed. “Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to “immigration limbo” before he’d been convicted of any crime, she wrote. “I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check,” she wrote in a dissent joined by her two liberal colleagues. The decision comes as the high court considers a series of immigration-related issues against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown, though this case started before Trump took office. His administration argued that suspicion of a crime is enough to put a lawful permanent resident, also known as a green-card holder, on immigration parole. Federal attorneys urged the court to take an expansive view of executive authority over immigration.

Karnataka High Court allows probe into case of 21 ‘missing’ dogs from DRDO township, protects officials from harassment

Karnataka High Court allows probe into case of 21 ‘missing’ dogs from DRDO township, protects officials from harassment Where are the 21 stray dogs that once roamed freely inside the Phase-II township of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Kaggadasapura? The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday allowed the continuation of a probe to find the answer to this question by vacating an earlier stay on the investigation into a criminal case. The case was registered by an animal husbandry official of the Bengaluru East City Corporation based on a public complaint alleging ill-treatment of stray dogs inside the township. However, the court restrained the police from harassing the petitioner-officials of the DRDO or taking any coercive action against them, irrespective of the outcome of the probe. At the same time, it directed the petitioners to cooperate with the investigation and assist the prosecution in arriving at the truth. Nagaprasanna passed the interim order while modifying the earlier order on the petitions filed by Rakesh Kumar Sahu, estate manager, Estate Management Unit (EMU), DRDO township, and T.G. The First Information Report (FIR) was registered on March 9 on a complaint lodged by Vivek K. Bidarakar, Assistant Director, Animal Husbandry, who acted on complaints received from both animal activists and the public, who raised concerns via social media on the alleged ill-treatment of dogs in the township during an incident on March 5, when EMU staff reportedly captured three strays.
