States, cities sue over Trump rule seeking to deny green cards to immigrants using public benefits
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported23m ago
A coalition of Democratic-led states, cities, and Washington, D.C., filed federal lawsuits on Monday to block a Trump administration rule regarding green cards and public benefits. The regulation, set to take effect on Friday, empowers the administration with broad discretion to deny green cards or entry into the country to legal immigrants who rely on public assistance for food, healthcare, or housing.
The legal challenges target the Department of Homeland Security's 'public charge' policy, which opponents argue makes it significantly harder for individuals to obtain permanent residency if they have utilized government support systems.
