1 In Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding, 73 S. Ct. 472, 344 U. S. 590 (Feb. 9, 1953), the Court held than an alien seaman, admitted as a lawful permanent resident, could not be excluded upon returning from a voyage, without a fair hearing, including notice of the charges against him and an opportunity to be heard in opposition to them, despite the Attorney General’s attempt to exclude and deport him on the basis of confidential information the disclosure of which would not be to the public interest. He was held to be “entitled to due process without regard to whether or not, for immigration purposes, he is to be treated as an entrant alien.”
