WASHINGTON (AP) — A coalition of 21 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit Monday challenging the Trump administration’s restrictions on social services for immigrants in the country illegally, including the federal preschool program Head Start, health clinics and adult education.
Individual public benefits, such as food stamps and college financial aid, have been largely unavailable to people in the country without legal status, but the new rules and guidance from the administration curbed their access to community-level programs that receive federal money.
The lawsuit led by New York Attorney General Letitia James argues the government failed to follow the rulemaking process and did not provide required notice on conditions placed on federal funds. It also argues the changes will create significant harm.
“These programs work because they are open, accessible, and grounded in compassion,” James said in a statement. “This is a baseless attack on some of our country’s most effective and inclusive public programs, and we will not let it stand.”
The rule changes rescinded a Clinton-era interpretation of federal laws on immigrants ' access to services. The restrictions were announced jointly earlier this month by the Department of Health and Human Services, the Education Department, the Department of Labor and the Department of Justice.
Implementing immigration documentation checks would place a significant burden on programs and in some cases would be unrealistic, the lawsuit said. The extra work would likely affect services provided by these programs to U.S. citizens, who are often from low-income backgrounds and depend on the services for health and education, the lawsuit said.

Head Start is nothing but a baby sitter service. They’ve proven ten times over that there’s no benefit to the children. They belong with a parent or someone who cares...a neighbor...a grandparent...
There shouldn’t even be a “Head Start”
Where do these people get off thinking, because they weren't told not to, that federal funds can be used on illegals (criminals), even if they are kids?
The states themselves can pay it if they are so inclined.
>There shouldn’t even be a “Head Start”
The only head start they need is to get going back across the border or wherever they came from
It was totally different when it started. I went with my daughter. Myself and the other parents were in one room. The kids were in the playroom. It was only maybe 3 hours. It wasn’t about learning...it was about socializing for bothe kids and parents. Only went for a few months. Didn’t see the benefit.
"new rules and guidance from the administration curbed their access to community-level programs that receive federal money"
And well they should.
Anyone in the USA ILLEGALLY is a criminal.
Invaders in the USA ILLEGALLY deserve NONE of the taxpayers' money.
It is unconscionable to expect hard working American men and women to pay for services for criminals who should be deported immediately.
Screw them all...
Both the migrant invaders and their American enablers...
Illegals don’t deserve a penny of tax payer dollars for anything.
And there’s no proof at all that Headstart has done any kid any good.
Actually leftists/democrats can if it means that much to them.
Don't penalize the red population in the states either.

Compassion is something you do with your own money.
Theft is when you do it with other people’s money.
😁😂👍
If the kids are illegal then so must be the parent(s). Sounds like a great way to round the family up and dump them where they came from.
THE ILLEGALS HAVE BEEN GETTING FOOD STAMPS-—FROM MULTIPLE STATES & MULTIPLE COUNTIES...
THEY PULL OUT VARIOUS EBT CARDS AT THE STORES ALL THE TIME
THEY LIVE MUCH HIGHER ON THE HOG THAN MOST OF US DO..
MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS EACH HAVE BENEFITS.
But where are all the morons cackling “ illegals get NO fed or state assistance “ when I said BS, many out there still spouted “illegals get no assistance “
denying fed funds to illegal aliens never effects American citizens other than making those monies available to the eligible...
