The state of New Jersey wants to defend against a group of Republican attorneys general seeking to strip the ability of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to access insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In a brief filed in a North Dakota federal court on Wednesday, New Jersey argued on behalf of a group of 14 Democratic states that the incoming Trump administration can’t be “counted on” to defend a Biden-era rule that opened Obamacare exchanges to members of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
