Trump Admin Proposes New Green Card Rule Targeting Immigrants Using Govt Benefits | Spotlight

The Trump administration proposed a major change to US immigration rules, aiming to give officers wider authority to deny green cards to immigrants who used programs such as Medicaid, SNAP or housing assistance. The plan was tied to the long-standing "Public Charge" rule, which Biden stopped enforcing in 2021 and cancelled in 2022. Homeland Security said reversing Biden’s rule would restore broader discretion, allowing officers to consider any social or health services used. Critics warned the proposal could deter immigrants from seeking medical care, worsen public-health risks and repeat earlier patterns that increased racial disparities during the pandemic.
