States and cities sue to block Trump 'public charge' green card rule
–
Neutral summary
A coalition of 22 Democratic-led states, Washington, D.C., and major cities including New York filed lawsuits in Manhattan federal court on Monday to block a new Department of Homeland Security rule that would allow immigration officials to deny green cards to applicants who use public benefits such as Medicaid and food stamps. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Letitia James are leading the legal challenge, arguing the rule, set to take effect September 18, would drive immigrant families away from essential programs and shift costs onto local governments. Mamdani said the federal government has waged a “campaign of violence and terror” and warned that “people could die as a result of these changes.” The plaintiffs also call the rule “intentionally vague” and say it could affect more than $2.2 billion in federal funds for the suing states.
