Expert Solution
Step 1

In 1945, Kwong Hai Chew, a Chinese seaman, was admitted to the United States. He married a U.S. citizen, moved to New York, and was granted a five-year stay of deportation after demonstrating his high moral character. He was granted permanent residence in the United States on January 10, 1945, in 1949.

 

Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding, 344 U.S. 590, is a United States Supreme Court decision in which the Court held that a lawful permanent resident who departs and returns to the country as a seaman on an American ship retains procedural due process rights and cannot be deported without a hearing under 8 CFR 175.57.

 

The petitioner in the case was a permanent resident alien who was temporarily barred from entering the United States under a regulation that allowed the Attorney General the authority to do so based on secret information and without a hearing. The Attorney General eventually made the exclusion permanent, arguing that his presence would be detrimental to the public interest.
