Immigration Raid Resources

Children in immigrant families make up one-quarter of all children in the United States and represent the fastest growing segment of the country's increasingly diverse child population. Yet immigrant children and families are more likely to be low income and face systemic barriers to health and nutrition supports. Harsh immigration enforcement policies also threaten the safety and wellbeing of the millions of children in mixed-status families. CLASP advocates for federal and state policy reforms to promote health, economic security, and overall success for immigrant children, youth, and families.

Protecting Immigrant Families

The Trump Administration is attempting to block low-income immigrant families, including their citizen children, from access to basic needs programs that promote economic security by providing health care, nutrition, and housing assistance. The Protecting Immigrant Families, Advancing Our Future campaign brings together leading advocates for immigrants; children, education, health, anti-hunger, and anti-poverty groups; to defend against these threats and support a productive national dialogue about our country’s immigrant tradition and economic future.
