Mamdani decries federal public-charge rule as attack on NYC immigrants

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounces the Trump administration's expanded public-charge rule as a 'campaign of violence and terror' against immigrants, announcing NYC and a coalition of sanctuary jurisdictions are suing to block the policy that broadens consideration of noncash benefits (Medicaid, SNAP, housing vouchers) in public-charge determinations; the White House and USCIS defend the rule as protecting American taxpayers.
