New York Attorney General Tish James filed a lawsuit Tuesday to block the Trump administration from making it nearly impossible for immigrants to obtain green cards if they’ve ever relied on welfare, blasting the proposed policy as “a clear violation of our laws and our values.”
The suit — which was filed jointly in Manhattan federal court with the city’s law department and the attorneys general for Connecticut and Vermont — asks a judge to block the administration’s proposed expansion of the so-called “public charge” rule, claiming it’s rooted in racial animus and flies in the face of long-held immigration laws.
“The Trump administration’s thinly veiled efforts to only allow those who meet their narrow ethnic, racial and economic criteria to enter our nation is a clear violation of our laws and our values,” James said in a statement.
"Quite simply, under this rule, more children will go hungry, more families will go without medical care and more people will be living in the shadows and on the streets. We cannot and we will not let that happen.”
