States Sue Over Revived Public Charge Rule | Albuquerque News
Twenty-two states, including New Mexico, are suing the federal government over a controversial “public charge” rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits like food, healthcare, or housing — a policy revived from the Trump era and now facing legal challenges. The lawsuit argues the rule unfairly penalizes vulnerable families, potentially letting a child’s use of state programs jeopardize a parent’s immigration status. While DHS claims the rule promotes self-sufficiency and downplays its impact, critics say it oversteps legal authority and misreads Congress’s intent — sparking a high-stakes battle over immigration law and access to essential services.
