The US Department of Justice issued a legal opinion on the 2nd requiring states that receive funding for two federal welfare programs to expand reporting of illegal immigration information to the Department of Homeland Security. Otherwise, they may face serious consequences such as funding cuts. According to the news, this practice is intended to pressure states to cooperate with the federal government's immigration enforcement actions. Previously, only state government agencies responsible for operating relevant benefit programs had reporting obligations. After US Republican President Trump re-entered the White House in January 2025, immigration policies were continuously tightened and the expulsion of illegal immigrants was stepped up, leading to an intensification of partisan rivalry.
