A federal judge put on hold a Trump administration rule requiring immigrants prove they will have health insurance or can pay for medical care before they can get visas.
The president’s casual announcement, in response to a reporter’s question, created more uncertainty about who was in charge of the sprawling department.“We’re very grateful that the court recognized the need to block the healthcare ban immediately,” said Justice Action Center senior litigator Esther Sung, who argued at Saturday’s hearing on behalf of the plaintiffs. “The ban would separate families and cut two-thirds of green-card-based immigration starting tonight, were the ban not stopped.
The proclamation says immigrants will be barred from entering the country unless they are to be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have enough financial resources to pay for any medical costs.
