Chae Chan Ping, a Chinese immigrant who had lived in California for 12 years, traveled back to China in 1887. When he returned to San Francisco in 1888, he and other Chinese immigrants were barred from re-entering the U.S. due to the Scott Act, which invalidated their re-entry certificates. This led to Ping challenging the ruling in court, sparking a significant legal battle over immigrant rights. The case highlighted growing anti-Chinese sentiment, fueled by competition for jobs and violence against Chinese individuals, particularly in California.

Initially, Chinese immigrants were welcomed as workers during the Gold Rush, but as their success grew, backlash from American workers and politicians led to discriminatory laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which restricted Chinese immigration and citizenship. Ping's case ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled against him, setting a precedent that allowed the government to pass discriminatory immigration laws under the guise of national security.

The ruling had long-lasting consequences, reinforcing the government's ability to restrict immigration based on ethnicity and nationality. This decision influenced later xenophobic policies, such as the 1917 Asiatic Barred Zone Act and 1920s immigration restrictions targeting various ethnic groups. While the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943, the precedent established by Ping’s case still impacts U.S. immigration policy today.
