A federal judge in Oregon blocked the Trump administration Saturday afternoon from enacting a policy that would require new immigrants to demonstrate they have health care or are able to afford it.
According to Wall Street Journal, the order, handed down by U.S. District Judge Michael Simon, prohibits the policy from taking effect for 28 days. The next hearing is set for Nov. 22.
The policy, which would have taken effect Monday, was introduced last month and primarily affects people attempting to immigrate to the U.S. to join family members.
The White House has described the policy as a healthcare system safeguard that would prevent immigrants from enrolling in medicaid or going to emergency rooms with no insurance, the Journal reports.
Critics of the policy say that it would bar poor immigrants from entering the country.
Similar to Trump's travel ban, the policy was created by executive order.

Sadly republicans do not use these facts when discussing illegal or even legal immigration. Heck Canada is extremely strict.
Aren’t US citizens required every year to prove through their tax forms that they have insurance? How could this pos sadly immigrants don’t have to?
Wait, are they talking legal immigrants or illegals? Damn them for distorting the language so much...
I believe our Public Employee’s deserve the very best in Health Care, OBAMACARE!!!
President Trump should respond with an Executive order:
Public
Employee
Affordable
Care
Enrollment Act.
All Non Military Federal Employee’s shall enroll in the Affordable Care Act as their Primary Health Insurance Provider.
Use the Money saved towards the wall.
It’s going to take a f-—ing civil war to set things right.
Puff ball Limbaugh would disagree...
I am getting to that viewpoint. If the courts abuse their power then they should be ignored. Let them see if that’s really the way they want to go.
How many division does this judge have?
In a sane world this judge-terrorist would be appearing in front of the Senate judicatory committee tomorrow. But alas The Turtle will have no f-—ing comment about this.
All immigration is bad at this point. Why distinguish?

Childless people do not have a stake in the future. Rush does not have children so he can equivocate at will.
What are they going to do, impeach him? They are already doing that.
Simple solution. Ban all immigration until every last illegal, visa overstay and visa holding criminals have been kicked out. Then, maybe, we might be open to talking about one day down the road letting in a dozen clean, intelligent, skilled and worthy immigrants.
You’re absolutely correct. I just can’t understand why Trump doesn’t follow your commonsense advice.
Oh but it is just fine that Obama care required all citizens to have healthcare. Bunch of evil hypocrites.
I bet with all trump judges that one day democrats will get payback.
I’m not. The GOP Senate has sunk MAGA nominees for Fed, DNI and now is blocking Trump’s potential DHS pick. Given that the loyalty and quality of “Trump judges” is TBD.
I’m sorry but when is immigration policy the purview of the judiciary?
Poor immigrants ? some pay as much as $12,00 to enter the country the Hill is like the NYT at times.
Some fact some of the time and we bend then the way we see fit.
