Lawsuit over new rule for Green Card applications
New York and 21 states filed a lawsuit to halt the new 'public charge' rule that the Trump administration said could make it harder for some immigrants to obtain Green Cards and visas. The rule is scheduled to take effect on September 18.
The new regulation will grant immigration officials broader authority to assess whether applicants qualify for Medicaid, SNAP, housing assistance, and other income‑tested public benefits.
The plaintiff states that the rule could lead to the withdrawal of public aid in areas with high immigrant populations and cause losses of federal funds.
The lawsuit alleges that DHS expanded the definition of “public charge” without explicit congressional authorization.
Who could be affected?
The rule specifically concerns immigrants with legal status who are applying for a Green Card or visa.
It is noted that mixed‑status families with U.S. citizen children may also worry about accessing assistance.
In the lawsuit, New York and Washington D.C., as well as California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, and other states joined.
The states are asking the court to strike down the regulation and to prevent its implementation by DHS.
