New York City is leading a coalition suing the Trump administration over a policy that would allow the federal government to deny visas and green cards to immigrants who rely on public assistance, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Monday. The lawsuit claims the new "public charge" rule unlawfully expands the government's ability to consider immigrants' use of benefits like Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers when deciding whether to approve certain applications. "The toll of this new rule cannot be overstated," Mamdani said. "It is simply a vehicle for confusion, and a vehicle for cruelty." #NY1 #NYC #News -------- For more on this and the latest NYC news: http://specne.ws/NY1YT Watch live news: http://specne.ws/YTliveSN Get the Spectrum News App on all your favorite devices: http://specne.ws/GetSNApp2
