ANYTHING THESE LEFT WING ANTI-AMERICAN JUDGES, APPOINTED BY THE SURRENDER MONKEY CAN GET AWAY WITH TO BLOCK MUCH NEEDED, SENSIBLE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD SAVE THE TAXPAYER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IS THRUST ON US WITH NO OVERSIGHT ON THESE UNELECTED. PARTISAN HACKS!

A federal judge in Oregon blocked the Trump administration Saturday afternoon from enacting a policy that would require new immigrants to demonstrate they have health care or are able to afford it.

According to Wall Street Journal, the order, handed down by U.S. District Judge Michael Simon, prohibits the policy from taking effect for 28 days. The next hearing is set for Nov. 22.

The policy, which would have taken effect Monday, was introduced last month and primarily affects people attempting to immigrate to the U.S. to join family members.

The White House has described the policy as a healthcare system safeguard that would prevent immigrants from enrolling in medicaid or going to emergency rooms with no insurance, the Journal reports.

Critics of the policy say that it would bar poor immigrants from entering the country.

Similar to Trump's travel ban, the policy was created by executive order.
