A coalition of states and cities has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a new policy that limits access to green cards for immigrants who rely on public benefits. The legal challenge argues that the rule unfairly penalizes low-income families and undermines long-standing immigration protections. Critics say the move could discourage legal immigration by creating financial barriers for those seeking permanent residency. The case highlights growing tensions between federal immigration enforcement and state-level support for immigrant communities.
