US EditionLawsuit Challenges Restrictions on Head Start for Kids in the US Illegally
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – A coalition of 21 Democratic attorneys general argues that Trump administration rules could force closure of programs serving over 800,000 children by imposing costly immigration verification requirements.
- A coalition of liberal-led states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over new rules that restrict undocumented immigrants from accessing federally funded public benefit programs, claiming it targets vulnerable families and violates federal law.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated the lawsuit claims the restrictions are a 'cruel' attack on vulnerable residents and will impose significant burdens on already struggling programs.
- President Donald Trump defended the rules, arguing they protect American citizens and reduce incentives for illegal immigration.
- The lawsuit asserts that the changes will cost states hundreds of millions of dollars annually and emphasizes that many USDA programs remain obligated to provide benefits regardless of citizenship status.
