A coalition of states sued US President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday over its new “public charge” rule that aims to deny permanent residency and citizenship to immigrants who claim welfare benefits.

The new White House rule, which affects immigrants who receive food stamps, public health care and other assistance, threatens to set back the citizenship hopes of millions of mostly Hispanic migrants. The new criteria means 22 million non-citizen residents of the United States who are using public services such as food stamps and public health care will not be able to obtain green cards or US citizenship.

The new standards would apply to non-citizen residents who use public services repeatedly after October 15, 2019.
