由纽约州等22个州和哥伦比亚特区组成的州政府联盟,以及由纽约市领导的城市联盟已对特朗普政府的新移民政策提起诉讼4。该政策扩大了"公共负担"规则的适用范围,允许移民官员基于申请人的公共福利使用情况拒绝颁发绿卡34。
新规则的适用范围比特朗普首任期的类似政策更为广泛,包括考虑代表家庭成员(包括美国籍儿童)申请的福利4。诉讼方声称这一政策会导致数十亿美元的联邦资金流失,并造成广泛的社会卫生和经济影响4。纽约州司法部长莱蒂希亚·詹姆斯表示该办公室曾成功对抗过这项政策并赢得诉讼4。纽约市市长佐兰·曼达尼领导的城市联盟包括芝加哥、西雅图、旧金山等城市也参与了类似诉讼4。
Multiple states and cities have filed lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's new immigration policy that restricts green card access based on public benefits usage 136. The coalition leading the challenge includes New York City and 22 states plus Washington, D.C. 4. New York State Attorney General Letitia James is among the officials spearheading the legal effort 234.
The disputed policy expands the so-called "public charge" rule, which allows immigration officials to deny green card applications based on an applicant's use of public benefits 34. The new regulation casts a wider net than Trump's first-term version of the rule by including consideration of benefits claimed on behalf of family members, including U.S. citizen children 4. According to the plaintiffs, this policy will result in billions of dollars in lost federal funding and create widespread public health and economic consequences 4.
New York City Mayor Zoran Mandani has led a separate coalition of cities, including Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco, in filing their own challenge to the rule 4. State officials have argued that the policy threatens to significantly reduce federal Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Plan funding 4. Attorney General James indicated that her office previously succeeded in defeating this policy in court during Trump's first term 4.
