STORY: President Trump invoked broad executive powers Friday, issuing a proclamation to block the entry of immigrants applying for visas who cannot prove that they will be able to obtain health insurance within 30 days of entering the US.

Trump’s proclamation cites the same provision of law he used in the 2017 travel ban to block people from coming into the country and a later ban on asylum-seekers who crossed into the country without authorization.
“There has not been a use of the suspension of entry power in this way,” said Pratheepan Gulasekaram, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, referring to Trump’s use of the powers denying entry. “This is shocking.”
A former DHS official said the proclamation would work in hand with the State Department policy on "public charge."

"This proclamation covers those who wouldn't be barred by public charge rule.”
It will apply to foreign national spouses of US citizens who want to come to the country.

“It is going to, without a single act of Congress, have another big effect on the population we are going to see in the future,” said the former DHS official.
