High court declines to revisit immigrant issue during virus

The Supreme Court on Friday declined a request by states who cited the coronavirus pandemic in asking the justices to reverse course and temporarily halt a Trump administration policy that makes it harder for legal immigrants to become permanent residents if they use public benefits. The justices in January voted 5-4 along ideological lines to allow the Trump administration to implement its policy while lawsuits against it continued. The order from the Supreme Court on Friday was brief, with no justice noting disagreement.
