WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is wading into a political clash between the Biden administration and Republican-led states seeking to defend a signature Trump-era immigration rule that the new administration has abandoned. Conservative and liberal Supreme Court justices acknowledged during arguments Wednesday at the high court that when a new administration comes in, it can change policy. That’s what the Biden administration did with the Trump-era “public charge” rule that denied green cards to immigrants who use food stamps or other public benefits. The question is not the legality of the now defunct Trump-era rule, just whether a group of states should be able to pick up the legal fight over it.
