Donald Trump received a double whammy from the court system on Friday with two rulings against his immigration policies, one of which will slow down the building of his border wall. A federal judge in Texas ruled the president's declaration of a national emergency to build a border wall is unlawful, which is likely to prevent the administration from using funds from the military to build the president's signature campaign promise.In another blow, a federal judge in New York blocked the president's policy to deny green cards for immigrants who will likely to need legal public welfare services.  The administration, under the auspice of White House adviser Stephen Miller, designed a rule to expand the definition of a 'public charge' to go beyond cash assistance. Under the proposal, immigrants who use legal government services - such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), and most forms of Medicaid - would have that counted against them in their application for a green card. A 'public charge' typically refers to someone who is 'primarily dependent on the government for subsistence' based on their receipt of 'public cash assistance.'Trump's new rule, which was set to go into effect October 15, expanded that to include those receiving food stamps, housing assistance and/or Medicaid - use of which would count as a negative factor when being evaluated for a green card. Judge George Daniels of the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York, in his ruling on Friday, said those potentially affected by the new rule could suffer 'irreparable harm' from it. Daniels was a Bill Clinton appointee.
