Federal judge halts Trump policy, safeguards migrants’ access to vital services
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from restricting migrants’ access to essential federally funded services, including Head Start, health clinics, and food banks. US District Judge Mary McElroy ruled the policy, which reinterpreted a 1996 law, was arbitrary and improperly implemented. The injunction preserves vital support for vulnerable families and underscores the balance between law, policy, and humanitarian need.
