The Supreme Court just handed the government a blank check to detain lawful permanent residents at the border without any evidence of wrongdoing, and I need you to do everything in your power to reverse it. The 6-3 ruling in the Muk Choi Lau case lets border officers treat green card holders as "applicants for admission" rather than admitted residents, stripping away protections people earned by going through the full immigration process. That is punitive, inhumane, and a betrayal of what a green card is supposed to mean. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said it plainly in her dissent: lawful permanent residents "are as close to citizenship as one can get absent naturalization." This ruling forces innocent people to prove they haven't committed a crime before they can come home, potentially leaving them in detention or legal limbo for years. Congress never intended these guarantees to be swept aside like this. Introduce or co-sponsor legislation that codifies clear evidentiary standards before any permanent resident can be denied reentry or placed on immigration parole. These are people who followed every rule. They deserve the security that a green card is supposed to guarantee.
