A federal judge on Friday blocked a Trump administration rule that makes it more difficult for immigrants who rely on public assistance to obtain legal status, just days before the regulation was set to take effect.

Under the proposed rule, many green card and visa applicants could be turned down if they have low incomes or limited education because they'd be deemed more likely to need government assistance in the future, including most forms of Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers.

Friday's ruling from US District Judge George B. Daniels against the so-called "Public Charge" rule will apply nationwide.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who led the lawsuit, has said the rule specifically targets immigrants of color.

"This rule would have had devastating impacts on New Yorkers and our nation, and today's decision is a critical step in our efforts to uphold the rule of law," James said on Twitter, responding to the ruling.

There have been at least nine lawsuits brought against the rule, which was announced in August. That includes a multi-state challenge led by California.

The release of the rule came at least a year after White House adviser and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller pushed to expedite the policy.

Speaking at the White House, Miller told reporters Friday that "injunctions prevent us from complying with the laws that Congress enacted."

The rule prompted concern among advocates who argued it would lead many immigrants -- including those with children who are citizens -- to forgo participating in a government safety net program because of fear that it could risk their green card status in the future.
