Supreme court rejects Republican bid to defend Trump immigration rule
January 11, 2023
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an attempt by a group of Republican state officials to revive a Trump administration policy that barred certain immigrants deemed likely to require government benefits from gaining lawful permanent residency. There was an appeal by 14 Republican state attorneys general of a lower court ruling against their request to keep Trump’s “public charge” rule after President Biden stopped defending the measure and later ended it. The policy was developed by the Trump administration in February 2020 and ended by Biden in March 2021.
