Louisiana tracking law chills immigrant Medicaid applications

A new Louisiana law targeting noncitizen Medicaid enrollees is causing mixed-status immigrant families to lose healthcare access for their children. Yolibeth, a single mother from Honduras, fears her U.S.-born children's Medicaid renewals are being denied due to the law, despite their citizenship. Advocacy groups like Familias Unidas en Acción report increasing denials, impacting healthcare access for children in mixed-status households.
