It's no #Halloween trick: Millions of U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants rely on #SNAP to feed their families. Losing SNAP tomorrow, as lies continue to blame immigrants for the ongoing shutdown, will hurt children and families across the country. #ProtectFamilies.

THE SAME SYSTEM that cages immigrants closes rural hospitals.
THE SAME ideology that separates families doesn’t flinch when taking food
from the hungry.
A GOVERNMENT that disappears immigrants without a day in court can’t be trusted with your rights either.

Today is the #SNAPDayOfAction with @mazonusa.bsky.social, & the time to act is now. 42 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov 1st. USDA has a contingency fund but hasn't released it. Contact your Members of Congress today: mazon.org/policy_actio...

As the government shutdown continues, the GOP lies in claiming that healthcare funding for undocumented immigrants is to blame. Undocumented immigrants were already barred from federally funded healthcare, and there are no plans to change that. www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

GOP blames government shutdown on health care for undocumented people. That's false

The White House and GOP lawmakers say a provision in the Big Beautiful Bill that Democrats want rolled back keeps undocumented people from getting health benefits — a claim experts say is misleading.

U.S. District Court Hon. Mary McElroy has blocked Trump admin. guidance restricting health care & social services access for people in immigrant families, citing the harm to these families & the unnecessary burdens caused by the change. Read our statement: pifcoalition.org/news/court-b...

“Judge McElroy cut through the Trump administration’s spin, recognizing this policy for what it was – an attack on the nation’s health and wellbeing and an engine of chaos and confusion. Immigrant families account for 27% of the U.S. population, and you can’t deny basic care and help to that many people without doing real harm to the nation as a whole.”

Last week, hundreds of ICE agents descended upon a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia and detained nearly 500 people — most of them South Korean.

Worksite raids don't make us "safer." They terrorize and devastate communities and threaten the safety of all workers.

A new HHS notice intends to cut access to Head Start & other health resources & social services for immigrant families across the country. Our director Adriana Cadena discusses the harmful and widespread impacts in a new @nbcnews.com post: nbcnews.com/news/latino/... #ProtectFamilies

Hundreds of groups push back on Trump denying lawful immigrants access to Head Start, other programs

They oppose the administration’s decision to make more federally funded programs off limits to legally present immigrants and say it will be 'devastating' to U.S. citizen children.

As the federal government takes steps to use personal data to identify immigrants, our campaign strategist Esther Reyes is featured in @houstonchronicle.com to discuss the likely chilling effect and impacts on the health of immigrant families: houstonchronicle.com/health/artic...

When you have entire families and communities fearful of seeking services not just for them, but also for their children, the health consequences are going to be severe. Esther Reyes PIF Campaign Strategist.

A recent HHS notice restricts access to federal benefits for immigrants. In a new MedCity News post, our campaign strategist Esther Reyes discusses the dangers not only to undocumented immigrants, but also to those lawfully present and U.S. citizens: medcitynews.com/2025/07/hhs-...

Immigrant families typically include people – often children – who are US citizens, people who have green cards or other lawful statuses, and people who are undocumented. Our experience with exclusionary policies – especially confusing policy changes like this one – is that they harm whole families. Esther REYEs PIF Campaign Strategist
