A group of immigrant rights organizations has filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from implementing a proclamation that would restrict the entry of immigrants on the basis of their ability to pay for health care. For now, the new requirement is expected to take effect Sunday, Nov. 3.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: The State Department is expected to start requiring the new form on Nov. 3, but it remains to be seen whether the litigation will be successful in blocking implementation. The proclamation does not apply to nonimmigrant visa applicants or those entering the U.S. by means other than an immigrant visa, including lawful permanent residents. BAL will provide updates on the litigation, including the possibility that implementation of the proclamation will be delayed.
