The new policies apply to certain classes of immigrants, including those without legal status as well as those who have it, such as asylum seekers or those with student visas. Immigrants without legal status are also able to access Head Start and to enroll in adult education classes, which include English as a second language and high school equivalency programs. It’s just one of many lawsuits California has filed against the Trump administration regarding the treatment of immigrants. Many Californians, including those with legal status, are shying away from public services out of fear.
