[R-TX-22] | TX | R | N000026 | 11 | This joint resolution nullifies the final rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security titled Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility published on September 9, 2022. The 2022 final rule nullified an August 14, 2019, final rule.

This joint resolution restores into effect the nullified 2019 final rule. | 2023-08-14T14:45:20Z | |

(Among other changes, the interim final rule requires an asylum seeker subject to expedited removal to be screened by an asylum officer for a credible fear of persecution or torture, rather than a credible fear of persecution, reasonable possibility of persecution, or reasonable possibility of torture.) | 2022-12-29T22:48:19Z | |
