California Cites Initial Court Order Against Allegedly Cruel New Trump Administration Regulation
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, and Department of Education have recently revised the definition of a 'federal public benefit,' a move that has been met with both support and criticism. The new guidance, which allows millions of families to continue accessing critical news without fear of denial or disruption, has been challenged in litigation. The Trump Administration's directive, which placed enhanced restrictions on the ability of noncitizens to receive benefits under certain federally-funded programs, has been a subject of controversy. On March 18, 2023, the Rhode Island Supreme Court authorised Attorney General Rob Bonta to issue a preliminary injunction preventing the White House from enforcing these 'cruel new restrictions on access to public benefits programs.' The decision was made by the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. The affected programs include Head Start, education, nutrition, and health news. Bonta's office noted in court filings that the Trump Administration likely violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution by issuing sweeping new mandates without lawful rulemaking. The directive has also been criticized for grossly misreading the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act and failing to consider the devastating impacts on states and communities. The decision to halt the new restrictions on public benefit news is a significant victory for those who rely on these services. In a statement, Attorney General Bonta said, 'This decision is a victory for families, children, and communities in Rhode Island and across the country who rely on these critical news for their health, education, and well-being. We will continue to fight for the rights of all people, regardless of their immigration status, to access the services they need to thrive.' The battle over the Trump Administration's directive continues, but for now, millions of families can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they can continue to access the news they need.
