President Trump wants to send armed ICE agents to polling places just before the 2026 midterms. It's voter intimidation – and breaks a 150-year-old law to do it. We're suing to stop it.

A new rule would unlawfully introduce barriers, including a work requirement, for people on Medicaid who are currently exempt. We’re challenging this rule to protect health coverage for thousands and ensure they don't miss appointments, lose access to meds, or experience worsening health symptoms.
