## Resource

Twenty-two states, led by New York, are suing the federal government over a sweeping new immigration rule that could deny green cards and visas to immigrants based on whether they might need public assistance — including food stamps, Medicaid, or housing aid — even if applied for by family members. This rollback of Biden-era protections expands beyond previous interpretations, sparking legal challenges over federal overreach, potential harm to families and communities, and risks to public health and local economies. The states aren’t seeking money — they want the rule blocked entirely to prevent billions in lost federal funding and widespread fear among immigrant populations.
