Rolling Stone - Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new policy on Thursday that would effectively bar migrants in the United States illegally from accessing certain federal education and medical programs, such as Head Start.
HHS said in a statement the new restrictions restore compliance with a 1996 law known as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which was interpreted in 1998 to extend availability of certain public health programs to undocumented immigrants.
Kennedy said in a statement the federal government improperly interpreted the scope of that law for more than two decades but now will comply with the law in administration of relevant federal benefits.
