Connecticut Halts Sponsor Suit

On March 1 (here), we reported on the state of Connecticut’s suit against sponsors of immigrants who had received public assistance.  Now, Immigration Daily (www.ilw.com) reports that, according to the Hartford Courant, “The [Connecticut] Department of Social Services has stopped collection actions against sponsors of legal immigrants who have received public assistance. Because of the questions raised about the complicated legal processes, our commissioner and the attorney general have agreed that collection efforts should be temporarily suspended pending a joint review to make sure all legal standards are being met,” said David Dearborn, a spokesman for DSS.” For the full story, click here.

Good call but a bit late.
