'Public Charge' Rule Temporarily Postponed As Litigation Continues

The Trump administration proposed a rule to expand the definition of 'public charge' for immigrants, potentially denying green cards to those using certain public benefits. The rule faced legal challenges from 21 states and DC, leading to court decisions in New York, California, and Washington that postponed its implementation. The New York judge granted a preliminary injunction, citing potential irreparable harm to plaintiffs.
