The public charge rule becomes effective

As of this Monday, the public charge rule enters into force throughout the United States. Last month, a 5-4 vote in the Supreme Court approved the rule across the country, except in Illinois, because the state was governed by a separate court order. Now, while the litigation continues, the rule will be in force throughout the country. This measure has the potential to reshape legal immigration by limiting access to green cards for low-income immigrants. The most affected are those immigrants who are trying to obtain permanent legal status (or adjust it) and depend on public assistance. The rule was introduced in August 2019 by the Trump administration, but was taken to court and on January 27, 2020, the Supreme Court approved it.
