Santa Fe, NM--- Today Attorney General Hector Balderas and 13 other attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security over changes to the “public charge” rule that target immigrants and their families. Under the changes, if an immigrant who is legally in the country uses benefits to which he or she is entitled ? such as food assistance to feed their U.S. citizen children or housing assistance ? even for a short time, the federal government may revoke their legal status, or even deport them.
