New York and 21 other US states are suing the Trump administration over a new DHS rule that grants immigration officials greater authority to deny green cards and visas, claiming it would unfairly target certain immigrant groups. The rule, set to take effect in September, allows officials to consider 'public charge' status when evaluating applicants for residency or work permits. Critics argue the policy is discriminatory against low-income immigrants who may be more likely to rely on government benefits. The lawsuit seeks to block the rule's implementation nationwide.
