A new legal challenge has been launched against the Trump administration’s proposed rule expanding the "public charge" policy, which could deny green cards and visas to immigrants deemed likely to rely on government assistance. Critics argue the rule unfairly targets low-income families and contradicts long-standing immigration principles by penalizing those who may access public benefits. The lawsuit claims the policy violates federal law and could lead to widespread hardship among vulnerable communities. Legal experts say the case could set a precedent for how future administrations define eligibility for permanent residency.
