Tap title to read story
California and 19 other states sued the Trump administration over new rules barring undocumented immigrants from accessing federally funded programs like Head Start and food assistance. The states argue the restrictions, defended by the administration as protecting resources for citizens, violate federal law and will cost states millions. The lawsuit claims the rules are arbitrary and harm vulnerable families, while the administration asserts it prioritizes American citizens and prevents the exploitation of resources.
