Biden administration stops enforcing Trump-era "public charge" green card restrictions

The migration and the free-for-all will continue apace



The Biden administration on Tuesday stopped enforcing the 2019 "public charge" restrictions on green cards, unraveling the centerpiece of former President Donald Trump's efforts to restrict legal immigration.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said his department had halted the implementation of the 2019 "public charge" regulation following the reinstatement of a federal court order blocking the Trump-era policy. Earlier on Tuesday, the Justice Department notified courts across the country, including the Supreme Court, that it would no longer defend the Trump administration's public charge regulation.

Advocates had strongly denounced the policy, which granted U.S. officials broader discretion to reject green card applications from immigrants the government found were relying — or at risk of relying — on public benefits, like food stamps.
