A coalition led by California has successfully paused new Trump administration rules that barred immigrants without legal status from accessing various federally funded programs, including essential services like child care, healthcare, and nutrition assistance. This policy change required recipients to verify their immigration status, reversing earlier provisions that supported undocumented individuals. California's Head Start programs, significant in funding and outreach, serve tens of thousands of families. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated potential benefits for American citizens through increased Head Start services resulting from this policy reversal.
California and a coalition of 20 other states secured a temporary pause on the Trump administration's new rules barring immigrants living in the country illegally from accessing federally funded programs, including child care and health care.
Programs included in the Trump administration's restriction would include mental health services, adult education, substance use treatment, temporary housing assistance, cooling centers, food banks, and early childhood education.
