ANCOR is sharing this article by Politico Pulse as an update on a previous story. We have previously opposed changes to the public charge rule because of its potential effects on immigrants with disabilities.

As written by Politico Pulse:

“NEW YORK CITY ASKS FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ON ‘PUBLIC CHARGE’ RULE — The Trump administration’s new rule, set to take effect on October 15, would penalize immigrants who use public benefits like Medicaid by denying them green cards and visas.
