Trump administration hands over Medicaid recipients' personal data, including addresses, to ICE U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all of the nationโ€™s 79 million Medicaid enrollees.

Using private health care information to target immigrants is unacceptable and dangerous.โ€จ
No one should have to put their families and their safety at risk just to see a doctor.โ€จ

Secretary Kennedy and HHS are trying to push through a new rule that would slash access to affordable health care coverage for millions and drive up medical costs nationwide.

Today, my office and a group of attorneys general filed a lawsuit to block this unlawful assault on public health.

More than 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen after-school and summer funding More than 20 states have sued President Donald Trumpโ€™s administration over billions of dollars in frozen funding for after-school care, summer programs and more.

The federal government's illegal freezing of these funds will cause countless students and families in New York and across our country to lose access to programs and resources they need.

These funds are vital to prepare for extreme events like the devastating floods this summer.

There is no place in our nation for a secret police force operating in the shadows and pulling people off the streets in unmarked cars.

Congress must ensure law enforcement, including ICE, is held to basic standards of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil rights.

Medicaid cuts will pummel NY jobs and health care. The Bronx could take the biggest hit. More than 100,000 could lose insurance coverage and more than 3,000 could lose jobs.

In the Bronx alone, over 100,000 New Yorkers are expected to lose heath coverage.ย 
ย ย 
Thousands of jobs at hospitals and local businesses are expected to be lost.

These are the devastating consequences of this administration's "Big Beautiful Bill."

It's Black Women's Equal Pay Day, and it should not take until July for a Black woman to earn what a white, non-Hispanic man earned last year.

Black women, and all women, deserve equal pay for equal work.

I'll keep fighting until we don't need to recognize equal pay days.

Trump to terminate deportation protection for thousands of Hondurans and Nicaraguans in U.S. The Trump administration will terminate deportation protections for thousands of Hondurans and Nicaraguans in the U.S., according to Federal Register notices posted on Monday, part of a broad effort by the president to strip legal status from migrants.

Tens of thousands of Honduran and Nicaraguan individuals have depended on protected status to live in our nation, contribute to society, and avoid danger in their countries.
