"The United States Department of Justice today filed a motion asking the United States Supreme Court to dismiss its defense of Trump public charge regulations that have effectively denied millions in immigrant families health care and economic support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary orders issued by federal trial courts in several judicial circuits struck those regulations down, but the Trump administration had appealed. While the regulations will remain in force until the Supreme Court acts, that action is expected to effectively nullify the Trump policy.
The announcement came just weeks after 500 nonprofit organizations affiliated with the Protecting Immigrant Families coalition sent a letter urging president Biden to act quickly. Biden has also directed the relevant agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. State Department, to reconsider the regulations."
