Federal Judge in Illinois just vacated the public charge rule in it’s entirety stating that it violated the APA.
⠀
Public Charge or Public Charge Test is used by immigration officials to decide whether a person can enter the United States and who is primarily dependent on the government for support. Under the new rule, people could be denied green cards, visas, and entry to the U.S. simply because they accessed public benefits.
⠀
The public charge rule impacted thousands of green card applicants. Applicants had to prove that they won’t be a public charge, or an “economic burden” to the country.
⠀
This is a huge victory for immigrants screens the United States.

On Monday, July 7, 2020 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced International students in the United States must leave the country or risk deportation if their universities decide to only offer online courses.
⠀
ICE said that students who fall under certain visas "may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States," adding, "The U.S. Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programs that are fully online for the fall semester nor will U.S. Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States."
⠀
This could affect more than one million international students currently studying in the US. According to the Institute of International Education, the vast majority of those students came from Asian countries, with the largest numbers by some distance coming from China 🇨🇳(369,548) and India 🇮🇳 (202,014). By contrast, only 26,122 came from Canada 🇨🇦(in fifth place) and 15,229 from Mexico 🇲🇽(in tenth place).
⠀
New York City 🗽 is home to the most international students, thanks to New York University and Columbia University playing host to 19,605 and 15,897 students respectively.
