The US Supreme Court on Monday removed an injunction imposed by a New York district court concerning a new Trump Administration immigration “public charge” rule, which would restrict immigrants who may rely on public assistance from entering the US.
Solicitor General Noel Francisco filed an emergency application this month with the US Supreme Court to stay injunctions and allow implementation of the new rule. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeks to designate such immigrants who rely on monetary or non-monetary government assistance or may do so in the future as a “public charge” under the new rule.
