SUPREME COURT ALLOWS TRUMP ADMIN TO IMPLEMENT PUBLIC CHARGE RULE

Posted January 27, 2020

In a surprise ruling sure to set immigration lawyers’ hair on fire everywhere, mine included, the Supreme Court today issued a stay of a New York district court’s preliminary injunction against the tough new Public Charge rule that the Trump Administration originally slated for implementation on October 15, 2019.

In other words, the new Public Charge rule may now be implemented by the Department of Homeland Security in all states nationwide except Illinois (don’t ask).  Expect a DHS notice within 24 hours that will provide a date on which the new rule is expected to take effect, likely within 60 days or less, perhaps much sooner.
