On July 10, 2025, the Trump administration scaled back access to a number of federal programs based on immigration status. Those programs include education-related programs such as Head Start, tuition for dual enrollment, adult education, and career and technical education training(CTE) programs.
The move is a result of Trump’s February executive order titled Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders, which called on agencies to “defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need,” including by preventing “taxpayer resources from acting as a magnet and fueling illegal immigration to the United States” and ensuring that “no taxpayer-funded benefits go to unqualified aliens.” It also ordered agencies to identify all federally funded programs they oversee that allow “illegal aliens to obtain any cash or non-cash public benefit.”
