Republican States Sue to Block DACA Recipients from Obamacare Coverage

Fifteen states argue the Biden administration's rule violates federal law by extending healthcare benefits to undocumented immigrants.

  • The lawsuit involves 15 Republican-led states, including Kansas, Tennessee, and Virginia.
  • The Biden administration's rule would allow DACA recipients to access federally subsidized healthcare starting November 1.
  • States claim the rule contradicts federal law and imposes financial burdens on state resources.
  • DACA recipients, known as 'Dreamers,' were brought to the U.S. illegally as children but are protected from deportation.
  • The administration argues the rule supports Dreamers' contributions and calls for Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship.
