California Sues to Block Trump Rule Limiting Green Cards for Poor Immigrants
California Challenges Trump Administration Over Green Card Restrictions for Low-Income Immigrants
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced that the state will be suing the Trump administration to block the new public charge rule. The rule makes it easier for the administration to deny green cards and visas to immigrants who rely on public benefits, including Medi-Cal. Advocates across the state have emphasized that the rule is already causing immigrants to stop accessing health care services for fear it will be used against them in immigration proceedings. More information about the public charge rule is available here.
