Last month, SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship, but now the Trump Admin. is finding another way to take aim at the U.S.-born children of immigrant parents with its cruel new “public charge” rule.

Today, SCOTUS upheld more than 125 years of precedent by ruling against a Trump Admin executive order that would have denied birthright citizenship to certain children born in our nation. pifcoalition.org/resources/pr...

SCOTUS issued two devastating rulings today, both of which give the Trump Admin more power to dismantle lawful immigration pathways and shut our doors to many who have fought courageously for their safety. www.cliniclegal.org/press-releas...

14 years ago, the voices of courageous young people across our nation were heard and #DACA was created.

Even as more people across our nation are struggling to afford gas, groceries, health care, and housing, Congressional Republicans are prioritizing the Administration's violent & callous detention and deportation machine over helping people across our nation afford basic needs.

Republicans in Congress took the next step in their partisan plan to super fuel their violent & cruel detention and deportation dragnet without any guardrails, releasing bill text that would give ICE/CBP an additional $70b on top of the $170b from OBBBA. rollcall.com/2026/05/05/r...

The House budget resolution paves the way for Republicans in Congress to further fuel ICE/CBP with up to $140 billion in additional funding to continue their violent and cruel immigration detention and deportation dragnet, without guardrails.

It is unconscionable to leave ICE and CBP’s violence unchecked and allow them to continue their reign of terror. Our government should hold them accountable.

Excellent report from my colleague, @AnnaKBailey, highlighting how the Trump Administration’s homelessness policies will make it harder to secure housing & have intensified suffering for unhoused people, including people who are immigrants.  www.cbpp.org/research/hou...

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. This EO could leave millions of children in legal limbo over the coming years—stateless in the only country they have ever known. www.democracynow.org/2026/3/31/sc...

HHS wasted taxpayer dollars to find that people enrolled were eligible, a new KFF article shows: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The ACA provided peace of mind, better health outcomes, and financial security for millions of people who have been able to get comprehensive and affordable health coverage.

House lawmakers are considering an anti-immigrant bill (H. R. 1958) that would put people with lawful immigration statuses at risk of deportation - potentially resulting in separation from their loved ones—due to a mistake and/or confusion related to public benefit processes.

Fact check: the OBBBA did NOT eliminate taxes on Social Security. In fact, it does nothing to help lower- and middle-income seniors--but it does harm Social Security's financing. #CBPPSOTU www.cbpp.org/blog/contrar...

Tonight, during the State of the Union address, we’ll hear President Trump’s priorities for the year ahead. It’s worth comparing what he says to the extreme actions his Administration took last year.

What this KFF chart shows: over one million U.S. citizen kids may lose their Medicaid & CHIP health coverage, due to the over-reaching, harsh policies the Admin is seeking alongside ICE’s overbroad, chaotic dragnet that has harmed people with & without lawful immigration status.

As my colleague explains in this important thread, HUD’s proposed rule would leave nearly 20,000 families, made up of mostly U.S. citizens, at risk of homelessness or painful family separation. bsky.app/profile/cent...

Dear Mom and Dad: on this Valentine’s Day, I want to thank you with all my heart for all the love and support you have given to me and the confidence you instilled in me as you shared your dreams of what is possible in this great nation. #ToImmigrantsWithLove

Reworking the DHS funding bill to better protect public safety does not need to cause major harm within DHS or the government agencies covered by the other 5 funding bills, *if* Rs are prepared to govern responsibly. Claims to the contrary are an admission of sorts.

Senators have the responsibility to uphold and defend the Constitution. Using the annual budget process when necessary to protect the constitutional rights and safety of all people and communities should be a requirement of the job.

A clean extension of the PTC enhancements is the simplest, most effective way to prevent major coverage losses and allow people to get the health care they need in 2026. www.cbpp.org/blog/how-to-...

By moving to rescind the Biden Admin’s #PublicCharge rule, which largely restored long-standing policy after courts blocked a harmful rule put forward in the first Trump rule, the Administration is reigniting fear and confusion among people who are immigrants and their families.

Thought the record was clear on this, but given continued false claims, I will repeat: only people who have lawful immigration status can enroll in ACA marketplace plans or Medicaid coverage. It’s false to claim democrats are trying to change this: www.cbpp.org/blog/health-...

As Democrats push to reverse the megabill’s health care cuts and stop imminent cost increases in the marketplaces, Republicans have made false claims about who would benefit from these restorations in affordable health coverage. www.americanprogressaction.org/article/repu...

In the category of solutions in search of a problem: CMS is requiring states to reconfirm the citizenship or immigration status of Medicaid and CHIP enrollees. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

I’m saddened that this week HHS’ rule went into effect, taking away eligibility for the ACA marketplace from people with DACA (coverage for those enrolled via HealthCare.gov will end before Oct. 1). www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

New Congressional Budget Office (CBO) numbers confirm what we already knew – the reconciliation bill is getting worse, not better. The Senate bill will cut health care more deeply than the House bill and leave more people uninsured. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Let's be clear: The Senate Republican bill would take away health coverage and food assistance from millions of people who need it — all to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

The Senate quietly stripped veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and young people who recently aged out of foster care of their current exemptions from SNAP's harsh work requirement. CBO estimates this change alone would cut 270,000 people off SNAP. thehill.com/opinion/cong...

NEW: The Senate version of One Big Beautiful Bill is one big ugly transfer of wealth from low-income families to the rich. Americans struggling to get by will pay more for groceries & health care so the highest income families can get big tax cuts. This isn’t shared sacrifice.

The latest Senate Republican plan retains a deeply harmful provision that tramples over state rights’ to make decisions about how to use their own funds to ensure their state residents can access comprehensive health coverage.

The Senate is barreling toward a vote on an unfinished bill that wld take away health coverage & food assistance from millions, raise families’ costs, & make ppl in our nation worse off. There’s still time for senators to say no to this bill. My statement: www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

People in ***every state*** are at risk of losing their food benefits under the Senate Republican proposal to cut off eligibility for people who don’t meet a red-tape-laden, ineffective work requirement. See the impact in your state ⬇️ www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Make no mistake-- today’s Supreme Court ruling does not end constitutionally guaranteed birthright citizenship. However, the SCOTUS has ruled against the injunctions that have been blocking The Trump Administration’s birthright citizenship EO from being implemented nationwide.

Many people living lawfully in the U.S. will lose health coverage under Senate plan: www.cbpp.org/blog/trackin...

Revised Senate plan would still take away food assistance from many people granted humanitarian protection and living lawfully in the U.S.: www.cbpp.org/blog/trackin...

Senate Republican leaders have revised their plan to cut #SNAP. The details are slightly different, but the bottom line is the same: this would still take food assistance away from millions of low-income people, raise families’ grocery costs & risk some states ending SNAP altogether.

The Parliamentarian ruled 2 of the most harmful #SNAP cuts in the Senate Republican bill violate the Byrd rule, including an unprecedented cost-shift to states that could end SNAP entirely in parts of the U.S. www.agriculture.senate.gov/newsroom/rep...

NEW REPORT: House Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill, now in the Senate, would shift major new costs to the state- & local-level, paving the way for harmful cuts to food assistance, health care, & other services like education. Here’s the 3 top things to know:🧵

The House Republican reconciliation bill singles out people with lawful immigration statuses and their families for steep cuts to food assistance, health coverage, and tax credits — leaving them and our nation worse off: www.cbpp.org/research/imm...

But the amendment does step back from an even harsher version of the policy in the previous version of the bill that applied this penalty to states that provide coverage to children and pregnant women through the lawfully residing program.

It does this by doubling the costs states pay to fund their ACA Medicaid expansion if they choose to keep their state's program that provides coverage to people who do not meet the very restrictive immigration-related Medicaid eligibility requirements. www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

The bill would still coerce states to end coverage programs for people who don’t meet the strict immigration-related Medicaid requirements, despite state legislatures creating and funding these programs with wholly state funds.

House Republicans’ latest changes to the already harmful health provisions of their budget reconciliation bill layer on last minute cuts, swifter coverage losses, more cost increases, and restrictions on care.🧵 www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

33 states and D.C. would face a combined $131 billion in cuts to federal funding for their ACA Medicaid expansion under the latest version of the House Republican reconciliation package: www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

Now that the House R reconciliation plan has been unveiled, it’s clear that on top of ending food assistance, health coverage and other supports for millions of people with low incomes, they are seeking to cause even more harm to immigrants and their families.
