New York sues Trump over green card denial plan

New York City, led by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's plan to deny green cards to immigrants who receive public assistance. The legal action, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the South District of New York, seeks to block the rule from taking effect. The coalition includes several cities and counties, and New York State Attorney General Letitia James is pursuing a separate claim. The rule would give immigration officials more discretion to deny permanent residence to those likely to depend on government aid, potentially affecting millions of people.
