15 States Sue Biden Administration Over Health Coverage for DACA Recipients

Republican attorneys general challenge new rule allowing 'Dreamers' access to ACA benefits

  • The lawsuit aims to block a rule enabling 100,000 DACA recipients to enroll in the Affordable Care Act starting Nov. 1.
  • States argue the rule violates federal law and will increase illegal immigration, burdening public resources.
  • The Biden administration defends the rule, highlighting the contributions of DACA recipients to the U.S. economy.
  • Only Idaho and Virginia among the suing states run their own health insurance marketplaces.
  • Previous attempts to challenge Biden administration policies have faced legal hurdles in proving direct harm.
