The Trump admin is planning to reinstate an outdated public charge wealth test—another attack designed to sow fear & confusion in our communities. At a time when too many families are going hungry, this effort only further privileges the rich & puts at risk our collective health and well-being.

[1] Congress has yet to pass legislation to fund and reopen the federal government. If they don’t do so by Nov 1, funding for essential programs like Head Start, SNAP, & WIC will lapse. www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Loan forgivness should NOT be an incentive to join ICE and terrorize our communities. See this new piece from Christian Collins @clasp.org www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Schools should be safe places for all students. But Trump's reversal of a long-standing policy that protected schools from ICE raids has turned schools into spaces of fear & uncertainty. Visit nilc.org/resources/ to learn more about how students, families, and educators can protect themselves.

Over the weekend, federal agents were sent to Chicago and raided people's homes, rounded up children, and separated families. This is not how we keep our cities safe. CTAN condemns these actions and calls on Congress to do everything in their power to stop the militarization of our communities NOW.

Health care workers should be able to focus on saving lives — not preparing for ICE raids. https://bit.ly/46tIUmD

Attacks on child care and Head Start hit families with low incomes the hardest, worsening the affordability crisis and deepening inequities. www.clasp.org/blog/federal...

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerted legal service providers serving immigrant children of their plans to incentivize the children to leave the country and abandon their legal rights to seek safety in the United States.

Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywd...

Child care is increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable – and the Budget reconciliation bill will make families' and states' budgets even tighter. We can’t let kids and parents pay the price. Learn why. www.clasp.org/blog/senate-...

DACA has always been lawful. Now, it's facing its biggest threat yet, with DHS ignoring DACA protections and detaining DACA recipients. Our Immigrant Youth Abduction Tracker is exposing the truth: nearly 20 DACA recipients & dozens more immigrant youth are detained. HomeIsHere.us/tracker

We reject the Supreme Court's decision allowing ICE to use racial profiling to detain people. We are outraged by this ruling & the impact it'll have on immigrant communities. We stand with the BIPOC community who will feel the repercussions of this ruling www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Today @wendydcervantes.bsky.social joined members of Congress and other advocates to call attention to the Hernández fam. The Hernández fam received national attention when they were deported to MX after being stopped at an interior border checkpoint while seeking medical care for their 10yr old
