US Supreme Court eases rules to deport green card holders accused of certain crimes | World News

Published by Parlour News

1 min readUpdated: Jun 24, 2026 09:05 AM IST The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority Tuesday enhanced the power of federal border agents to remove from the country lawful permanent residents, or green card holders, involved in a crime of “moral turpitude”. In a 6-3 decision by Justice Clarence Thomas, the court said border agents are no more bound to prove by “clear and convincing evidence” that an immigrant, seeking a re-entry into the country after a trip abroad, had committed a crime before denying them admission. They now just have to show that there was reason to believe they had. “The Immigration and Nationality Act does not impose that requirement,” Thomas wrote. This makes it effectively easier for the border officials to strip the people of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status as they arrive at the US ports of entry. — with inputs from ABC News and Reuters Expand The Express Global Desk at indianexpress.com which delivers authoritative, verified, and context-driven coverage of key international developments shaping global politics, policy, and migration trends. …

As Centre eases onion procurement norms, farmers seek Rs 3000 per quintal support price

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in the National Capital Region revoked stage-3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap) on Thursday amid declining air quality index (AQI) in the city and forecast for “moderate” air quality on both Friday and Saturday.

Fed rate cut eases pressure on rupee; India seen stable on FX, bonds: Report

Fed rate cut eases pressure on rupee; India seen stable on FX, bonds: Report

Published by Webster

The US Federal Reserve`s latest 25-basis-point rate cut has set the stage for a complex global monetary backdrop, but its implications for India are expected to be relatively stable, according to analysis from YES Bank`s Economics Research team. “For India, we think that the sharpest pressure for the INR is over as we expect gold imports as also non-oil non-gold imports to moderate over the remaining part of the year.” noted the report. The report notes that the Fed`s December policy vote was deeply divided, with six members even preferring a pause and significant uncertainty visible in projections for 2026. This fracture, combined with evolving US labour-market data, indicates that the bar for further rate cuts by the Fed remains high. Despite the softer dollar post-cut, the report highlights that currency movements in 2026 will be driven more by relative growth and fiscal dynamics than by synchronised global monetary easing. For India, this environment is expected to ease pressure on the rupee. YES Bank expects gold and non-oil, non-gold imports to moderate, while foreign portfolio …

Accordingly, the regulator confirmed that the instruction prohibiting leave from being substituted for weekly rest “is hereby withdrawn with immediate effect”.
