Zohran Mamdani, the New York mayor, announced on 14 September that New York City, alongside several other major cities, will sue the Trump administration over a new rule that would make it more easy to deny green cards and visas to immigrants based on their need of public benefits

What happened

The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.

The new policy changes a long-established “public charge” rule, which dates back to the Immigration Act of 1882, established to ensure that newcomers to the country would be able to provide for themselves without relying on governmental benefits.

“Hardworking families should not be forced to go without the support they need because they fear asking for assistance will get them deported,” said New York attorney general Letitia James in a statement.
