The class-action lawsuit, filed by the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Justice Action Center, Innovation Law Lab and Sidley Austin, claims the policy could block two-thirds of potential legal immigrants from entering the country.
President Donald Trump issued the rule earlier this month in an effort to halt entry for people pursuing visas who “will financially burden the U.S. healthcare system,” he said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a “public charge rule,” earlier this year that would have allowed the federal government to deny green cards to immigrants who have used public benefits, including Medicaid, but courts have blocked the rule from taking effect.
