A federal judge in New York has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule linking immigrants’ legal status to their use of public benefits.
Judge George Daniels in the Southern District of New York issued a temporary nationwide injunction stopping the administration from enforcing the requirements, as well as a stay of the effective date.
The rule was scheduled to take effect Oct. 15.
The final rule, which was announced in August, targets immigrants trying to enter the United States or those already living here who are trying to obtain a green card.
Under the rule, any immigrant who receives at least one designated public benefit — including Medicaid, food stamps or public housing vouchers — for more than 12 months within any 36-month period will be considered a “public charge” and will be more likely to be denied a green card by immigration officials.

Time for the President to point kut that courts are only co-equal to the other two branches.
Would the courts change their modus operandi if Congress or the Presdient decreednthat the the courts needed to do something differently?
I have to admit at times I’m envious of the left. They have stacked the deck (courts, press, schools, tech businesses, etc.) such that they can dictate how our lives are led even when they don’t control a majority of our government. They have been engaging in a civil war against the right for decades, and the right seems content to let it happen.
This BS will only end if/when activist judges are replaced, whether by attrition or impeachment. In the case of impeachment, members of Congress will need to grow balls and spines if judges are to be charged with exceeding their authority and violating their oath of office; not everything falls within the purview of federal judges.
dox him...
Outrageous. This law has been on the books for decades, just not enforced recently.
This nationwide injunction shit has to end.
Judge is a Clinton appointee
Most of “our” side is actually on their side.
Clarification: Most of the elected on “our” side is actually on their side.
There are two reasons a voter chooses a president: judges and generals.
Most voters don’t know that.
As was one of the 2 judges in the DC Court of Appeals who just ruled that Congress can have 8 years of Trumps tax returns
the 2nd was an Obama appointee
The law is clear and unambiguous.
Trump will eventually prevail in the courts.
Clarification: The insane super-majority of the UNelected on “our” side is actually on their side.
Dems currently enjoy 6-5 majority on 2nd district court of appeals bench. Trump just nominated 2. Active senior judges are about an even split.
A lot of these court rulings are perfect campaign ad sized nuggets that clearly show the difference between the President and democrats. We should be making ads for every purple state and district.
Isn’t the public charge rule based on black letter law?
I thought the SC had eliminated the ability of one Federal District Leninist from ruling the entire US from his smelly little chambers.
