Many voters who voted Trump into the White House fear that the free childcare program could face a slow death

On September 10, 2025, U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy in Rhode Island issued a temporary injunction blocking the Trump administration's new policy that would require immigration status verification for participation in Head Start programs. This policy change, announced in July, sought to reclassify some community-level programs as federal public benefits, making them inaccessible to individuals without legal immigration status. The injunction applies to 20 states and the District of Columbia, which had sued the administration, arguing that the policy would harm low-income families and disrupt vital public programs. Judge McElroy found the government's rationale unconvincing and noted the policy rollout was rushed, potentially worsening impacts on affected communities. The American Civil Liberties Union highlighted that Head Start has historically been inclusive without immigration status requirements, aiming to prepare low-income children for school success.
