The US Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in an immigration case concerning the government's authority over green-card holders accused of crimes.
What the ruling covers
The decision strengthens the federal government's hand in cases involving permanent residents facing criminal allegations, an area watched closely by immigration lawyers and advocacy groups.
What happens next
The judgment is likely to shape how authorities pursue removal and detention proceedings against long-term residents, and adds to a series of immigration rulings that have favoured the administration's agenda.
