NEW YORK, United States (CMC) — Several immigrant advocacy groups in New York have filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new Trump administration rule that expands the circumstances in which public benefits can be considered when determining whether some immigrants qualify for lawful permanent resident status.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeks to have the rule and related guidance vacated.
The plaintiffs are Make the Road New York (MRNY), the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), and African Communities Together. They are represented by Democracy Forward, The Legal Aid Society and the Center for Constitutional Rights.
