NY attorney general vows to sue Trump admin over new immigration rule
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Monday that her office plans to launch a lawsuit against the Trump administration following the rollout of its new “public charge” rule, which would tighten restrictions on immigration to the U.S. by turning government aid into a roadblock.
“Under this rule, children will go hungry; families will go without medical care,” she said. “I am committed to defending all of New York’s communities, which is why I intend to sue the Trump Administration over this egregious rule.” Following the announcement of the rule, Acting Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli was asked what it meant for the future of legal immigration. CBS News’ Steven Portnoy asked whether the words “Give me your tired, your poor” should be stripped from the Statue of Liberty.
