NYC and 22 states sue to block Trump 'public charge' rule on green cards

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Attorney General Letitia James, joined by 22 states and major cities, filed lawsuits to block the Trump administration's new 'public charge' rule, which would deny permanent residence to legal immigrants using Medicaid or food stamps. The rule takes effect in days and threatens over $2.2 billion in federal funds for plaintiff states. This is a coordinated legal escalation against a policy reversal, with uncertainty over court injunctions.

The immediate implementation of the rule and the outcome of these legal challenges remain uncertain.
