A new proposed HUD rule would eliminate the right of mixed-status families to continue living together in HUD-assisted housing. If implemented, the proposed rule would have devastating consequences on the lives of children. Read our full statement below:

[10] All children deserve to thrive! We call on Congress and the Courts to protect birthright citizenship and children's access to education. #educationforall

[9] “[Ending birthright citizenship] would have a cascading ripple effect, potentially through multiple generations, of forcing this large and growing group of millions of children into a caste-like status." @caitlinpatler.bsky.social, of @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social (2/2)
[8] Research shows U.S. citizenship is directly tied to educational attainment, “As you follow children throughout their lives, educational attainment is directly correlated with stronger economic contributions... " @caitlinpatler.bsky.social, of @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social (1/2)
[7] "The law is still the law, children can still go to school. Now, we know that that is being complicated at this moment by immigration enforcement around schools. The birthright citizenship issue complicates that even further." @alevazquezbaur.bsky.social, of #NationalNewcomerNetwork
[6] "When you add this potential end to birthright citizenship, you create larger numbers of communities who are living in fear," said Rodriguez for NPR. (2/2)
[5] Dr. @sorophd.bsky.social of NYU, who has been studying the impact of immigration operations on school attendance, says immigrant families are reporting feeling "constant fear, anxiety, and stress" about sending their kids to school. (1/2)
[4] "Birthright citizenship is fundamental for child wellbeing. It has helped ensure that all children in the U.S. can start off life with some sort of equal footing and opportunity." @wendydcervantes.bsky.social , @clasp.org
[3] If both of these constitutional rights are overturned, millions of children could be denied access to public education, at great social and economic cost to the nation for generations to come.
Birthright citizenship must be protected.
[2] Additionally, the administration is calling for states to challenge Plyler v. Doe, the landmark Supreme Court case that guarantees #EducationForAll children, regardless of immigration status. www.clasp.org/publications...
[1] Birthright citizenship goes to the Supreme Court this week! Ending birthright citizenship would have devastating consequences on generations of children and families.

[2] Families are still being torn apart, children detained, and unimaginable suffering continues under current policies. Congress must demand accountability from ICE. Protect children now.
[1] United in Alarm: As the Senate evaluates Senator Mullins’ nomination for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, they must confront the ongoing harm to babies, toddlers, and young children.
[6/6] Our kids need us to ensure they have the tools they need to build strong futures. Our policymakers must protect #EducationForAll #EducationForAllTN
[5/6] Some legislators’ fear-mongering and sense of scarcity do not undo what we know to be true: It’s in our collective best interest to ensure that every child gets an education.
[4/6] Plyler v. Doe enshrined the longstanding practice and principle that ensuring access to education for every child is a cornerstone of a healthy society and a bedrock of democracy.
[3/6] Tennessee legislators are moving forward a dangerous anti-immigrant bill that would undermine children’s access to education based on their immigration status.
[2/6] A GOP House Judiciary subcommittee is hosting a hearing attacking the 1982 SCOTUS decision, Plyler v. Doe, that holds that all children have a right to a free public K-12 education.
[1/6] This week, #EducationForAll children is under attack by the GOP House Judiciary Committee and some Tennessee lawmakers.
Another critical piece by @brucelesley.bsky.social on why #birthrightcitizenship is so critical for all our babies! open.substack.com/pub/bruceles... @letkidsthrive.bsky.social
[6] Birthright citizenship is a longstanding constitutional right that has upheld the promise of equal citizenship for more than 100 years. We call on subcommittee members to uphold the U.S. Constitution and protect future generations’ right to citizenship.
[5] These negative impacts include:
- Increasing burdens on all families welcoming a new child.
- Poor developmental outcomes due to a lack of access to critical benefits and other supports.
- Increasing the risk of babies and children being subject to detention and deportation.
[4] In an amicus brief, child health and development experts argue that ending birthright citizenship through Trump’s EO would “cause serious harm, not only to U.S. immigrants and their children, but also to the entire United States.” www.clasp.org/publications... @clasp.org
[3] President Trump's birthright citizenship EO attempts to deny citizenship to babies born in the U.S. without at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident. So far, the EO has been rejected by every federal court.
[2] SCOTUS will hold a hearing on the constitutionality of the EO next month, a decision which could negatively impact children for generations.
[1]Today, the Senate Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee will hold a hearing on Trump’s executive order to put an end to birthright citizenship.
