        Immigrant families typically include people – often children – who are US citizens, people who have green cards or other lawful statuses, and people who are undocumented. Our experience with exclusionary policies – especially confusing policy changes like this one – is that they harm whole families.  Esther REYEs PIF Campaign Strategist

A recent HHS notice restricts access to federal benefits for immigrants. In a new MedCity News post, our campaign strategist Esther Reyes discusses the dangers not only to undocumented immigrants, but also to those lawfully present and U.S. citizens: medcitynews.com/2025/07/hhs-...

Know Your Rights: What to Do If You're Detained by ICE With the Trump administration's largest immigration operation underway, it's important to know what to do if you're detained by ICE.

Under the Trump administration's cruel immigration enforcement agenda, it's important we all know our rights.

Everyone β€” no matter our immigration status β€” has constitutional rights in the U.S.

Make sure you know what to do if you encounter ICE:

Attacks on communities that welcome immigrant families put millions of lives and livelihoods at risk in the name of partisan politics. Threatening federal funding for cities and states across the country would make every social problem our country faces worse and continue to erode the people’s trust in the federal government. The American people deserve much better from the representatives they’ve sent to Washington.

Scapegoating immigrant families won’t solve our health care crisis - Community Catalyst Authors: Dr. Brandon G. Wilson & Adriana Cadena After assuring constituents that Medicaid would be protected, the Trump administration and a MAGA-led

Lawmakers are scapegoating immigrant families to justify gutting Medicaid – when greedy corporations are to blame.

Cuts to Medicaid harm us all, driving families into debt & straining community hospitals.

5 ways the reconciliation bill will hurt all of us

5 ways the reconciliation bill will hurt all of us

It would eliminate health coverage for 13.7 million people.

More than 1 in 5 Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving health care. This bill proposes cutting Medicaid by $700 billion, which means nearly 14 million people, many already struggling to make ends meet, will lose access to care.

It would funnel $80 billion for disappearances.

The bill provides $80 billion for immigration jails, agents and operations related to enforcement and removal – giving the Trump administration a slush fund to kidnap more students and community members and experiment with ways to disrupt communities on an increasingly massive scale.

It would hand out $5 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-rich.

This bill would give millionaires a $68,000 tax cut and households in the top 0.1 percent a $300,000 tax cut, while raising taxes or doing nothing for 33 million working-class households.
