Senators voted 50-47 to overturn the rule , with two Democrats joining all of the chamber's Republicans. The Senate passed a measure Wednesday to cancel a Biden administration immigration rule that scaled back the number of benefits that would be counted against immigrants when applying for permanent residency in the United States.  According to the current rule, immigration officers would look at “the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance or long-term institutionalization at government expense” in an effort to evaluate if a person would become a “public charge” who is ineligible to become a permanent resident.

       A Notice to Appear (“NTA”) initiates removal proceedings by informing the immigrant respondent that they must appear in Immigration Court on a specific day to answer to a charge of removeability.      An NTA is issued as a standard DHS form, Form I-862.

Matter of CANCINOS-MANCIO, 28 I&N Dec. 708 (BIA 2023)  Matter of CANCINOS-MANCIO, 28 I&N Dec. 708 (BIA 2023) - Under the modified categorical approach, an Immigration Judge may consider the transcript of a plea colloquy in determining the factual basis of a plea.
