MANHATTAN (CN) – Days after skewering the government’s rationale for denying green cards for immigrants on welfare, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s so-called “public charge” rule in a fiery ruling on Friday.

“It is repugnant to the American Dream of the opportunity for prosperity and success through hard work and upward mobility,” U.S. District Judge George Daniels wrote of Trump’s sought-after barriers to U.S. permanent residency. “Immigrants have always come to this country seeking a better live for themselves and their posterity. With or without help, most succeed.”

The scathing 24-page ruling casts the rule change as an unnecessary departure from procedures in place for “over a century.”

“Aside from conclusory allegations that they will ‘be harmed by the impediment’ to administering the immigration system, defendants did not—and cannot—articulate what actual hardship they will suffer from maintaining the status quo,” Daniels wrote.
