Statement from Lupe M. Rodríguez, Executive Director of National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, on the Trump-Vance executive order directing federal agencies to identify programs that allow undocumented immigrants to access federally funded services.

The Trump-Vance administration’s latest executive order on immigrants’ access to federal programs that provide health and social services is another attempt to spread lies about im/migrant communities and scare people away from accessing the healthcare and services they need. Undocumented im/migrants are already excluded from most federally funded programs. Nothing in this order changes anyone’s eligibility for federal benefits like Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, or housing programs.

We’ve had enough of the constant demonization of im/migrant communities from Trump and his cronies. It isn’t just reckless, it puts millions of lives at risk.
