Impact Points

The Supreme Court's divided stance on birthright citizenship raises concerns about the future of immigrant rights and could lead to increased discrimination against marginalized communities, particularly those of immigrant backgrounds.
House Republicans' proposed Medicaid cuts threaten to disproportionately impact low-income individuals and families, particularly women and children, undermining access to essential health services and exacerbating existing inequalities.
The ongoing military buildup at the border and the request for National Guard troops for deportations signal a potential increase in aggressive immigration enforcement, which could further marginalize undocumented communities and heighten fear among immigrant populations.
The Supreme Court's ruling on police shootings, which emphasizes the totality of circumstances, may lead to more accountability in law enforcement, potentially improving trust and safety in communities of color, although the impact remains to be seen.
