Yesterday, ICE shot Oscar Belgal in NYC while his 5-year-old son sat in the backseat.

It’s at least the 43rd shooting by federal immigration agents since Jan 2025, 11 fatal. $75B in ICE funding pays for this, not care.

NOT one penny more. Defund ICE. Fund Care. Abolish ICE.

At the same time, more federal cuts limiting Medicaid eligibility began rolling out on October 1. They will affect thousands of immigrants, including refugees and survivors of sex trafficking: individuals and families who need access to care.

Tuesday, bipartisan legislation H.Res. 1586 was introduced to Congress affirming the right of disabled people to live in their homes and communities, not segregated in institutions. Our partners including DREDF, AAPD and others have backed this legislation.

This is just the latest of sweeping attacks on our care system. We at Hand in Hand condemn this ruling and are committed to working with our members and partners to protect essential access to care and support.
