On Thursday, a federal judge issued a nationwide injunction on the rule that ended fee exemptions for many poor immigrants seeking citizenship. The previous rule allowed a fee exemption for anyone on government aid or who could show financial hardship (such as medical expenses or unemployment). The blocked rule eliminated fee waivers based on government benefits and allowed waivers only to those who could show hardship or who were making no more than 150% of the federal poverty guidelines, meaning that many poor immigrants would have to pay the $725 fee. The main reason for the injunction was that the Trump administration disregarded the law when it did not seek or consider public comment on the new rule.

The Ninth Circuit denied the petition for review, finding that the government satisfied its burden to rebut the petitioner’s claim of citizenship by “clear, unequivocal, and convincing” evidence. In a divided decision, the en banc court affirmed the district court’s determination that the petitioner is not a United States citizen, and is thus deportable.
