New York City and New York Attorney General Letitia James filed separate lawsuits Monday, September 14, challenging a Trump administration rule that could allow immigration officials to consider immigrants’ use of certain public benefits when reviewing green-card and visa applications. NYC, joined by several other local governments, argues the rule unlawfully expands the government’s authority and could discourage immigrant families from seeking healthcare, food assistance and other services. James called the rule unconstitutional and illegal and urged a federal court to block it before it takes effect September 18.
