A coalition of states, including New York, has filed a lawsuit challenging a federal rule that could restrict eligibility for green cards by imposing stricter public charge requirements. The rule, finalized under the previous administration, aims to deny permanent residency to immigrants deemed likely to rely on government assistance. Critics argue it will disproportionately affect low-income families and vulnerable populations, while supporters claim it upholds self-sufficiency standards. Legal battles over immigration policy continue as states push back against federal immigration enforcement measures.
