California, along with a coalition of liberal states, is suing the Trump administration over new rules preventing undocumented immigrants from accessing federally funded public benefit programs. These restrictions affect vital services like Head Start, which aids low-income children, as well as shelters for the homeless, emergency food assistance, and healthcare for mental illness. California Attorney General Rob Bonta emphasizes that these changes reverse nearly three decades of policy and disproportionately harm working mothers and their children, constituting a cruel attack on vulnerable communities.
The Trump administration's restrictions on public benefit programs target working mothers and children, violating federal law according to a lawsuit by California and other states.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated the changes represent an abrupt reversal of nearly three decades of precedent regarding access to essential programs for undocumented families.
The coalition argues these programs, which include Head Start and support services for health, food, and education, are vital for some of the nation’s most vulnerable residents.
The new restrictions are criticized as a cruel attack on low-income immigrant families and a continuation of an inhumane anti-immigration campaign.
