- 20 states and DC sue as Trump moves to share low-income families’ data with immigration authorities
20 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration to block access to personal data of low-income families through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. The lawsuit seeks to prevent sharing recipients' immigration status, Social Security numbers, and other information with immigration authorities or private entities. The states argue the policy misuses antipoverty programs and could harm vulnerable populations.
