Summary
Chae Chan Ping, a Chinese immigrant, faced deportation after the Scott Act invalidated his re-entry documents. This act, rooted in anti-Chinese sentiment, marked a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, leading to widespread discrimination. The Supreme Court upheld this exclusion, setting a precedent for future immigration laws based on national security concerns.
