Statement from the Press Secretary

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 22, 2020

Statement from the Press Secretary  We are gratified by the Supreme Court ruling on Friday night lifting the final remaining injunction on the public charge regulation.  As a result, the Department of Homeland Security will be able to implement its regulation on Monday.  This final rule will protect hardworking American taxpayers, safeguard welfare programs for truly needy Americans, reduce the Federal deficit, and re-establish the fundamental legal principle that newcomers to our society should be financially self-reliant and not dependent on the largess of United States taxpayers.
