⚖️ BREAKING: Today, the Biden administration dropped its defense of the Trump public charge rule. As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Seventh Circuit DISMISSED the pending cases - officially bringing an end to the new public charge rule! ❌⠀
⠀
This marks the end of a policy enacted as a scare tactic designed to keep families in need from seeking support through essential programs, such as food stamps, housing assistance, or Medicaid; all made more critical during an economic recession and global pandemic. Health care programs, including Medicaid and COVID care, housing, food programs, and many other vital services are once again safe to use. Meanwhile, many eligible immigrants will be able to pursue legal status without fear.⠀

📚 More detailed information will come soon but for now, it’s worth celebrating this vital victory for the community! 🎉
