A coalition of states has filed a lawsuit challenging a federal rule that could restrict eligibility for certain immigrants seeking permanent residency in the U.S. The policy, attributed to the Trump administration, tightens criteria for green cards by imposing stricter financial and public benefit requirements on applicants. Legal opponents argue the changes unfairly target vulnerable populations and could disrupt family reunification efforts. The case highlights ongoing debates over immigration policy and state authority in enforcing federal regulations.
