The cities argue this rule, which expands immigration officers' discretion to deny green cards and visas based on public benefit usage, will deter immigrants and mixed-status families from accessing essential services like healthcare and housing. They contend this could lead to significant public health issues, increased homelessness, and higher costs for local governments. AI
