Plans to Evict Immigrants from Public Housing Face Challenges.
The Trump administration is pushing changes to HUD rules to limit immigrants in public housing and evict tens of thousands of children. Democrats in the House are responding with a bill to block the proposed rule that targets mixed-immigrant status families. Two other related bills are advancing in the House. One would bar HUD from implementing its rule and the other one would ensure that DACA recipients are not excluded from mortgage loans backed by federal housing agencies.
Guests: Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, Washington, DC; Rafael Medina, Communications Manager, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, The Leadership Conference Education Fund, Washington, D.C.
