21 state attorneys general, led by New Yorks Letitia James, have filed a lawsuit against the USDA over new rules that could make immigrants, including refugees and asylees, ineligible for food assistance benefits. The lawsuit argues that the USDA lacks authority to exclude entire groups and that the new guidance goes beyond what the law allows, potentially making anyone who entered the country through humanitarian programs permanently ineligible for food stamps. The attorneys general are seeking to block the implementation of these rules, warning of potential destabilization and financial strain on states.
