US District Court has set aside form I-944 public charge rule as of November 2, 2020.

On November 2, 2020, a district court ruled that the DHS public charge rule (1) exceeds DHS's authority under the public charge provision of the INA, (2) is not in accordance with law, and (3) is arbitrary and capricious. Therefore, the court immediately set aside the DHS public charge rule nationwide without staying its decision pending appeal. DHS may not apply the public charge rule as of today, which includes the submission of Form I-944 and the information contained therein.
