POLITICSTENNESSEE LOOKOUT
Judge calls it illegal. It’s time for Tennesseans to call it immoral.
A Tennessee judge has deemed a state policy illegal, which forces 400 families with children having severe medical needs to choose between losing healthcare or facing immigration enforcement. The policy, linked to HB1710, has drawn criticism for its inhumane impact, particularly on families enrolled in Children’s Special Services.
