FWIW, people here illegally are already not eligible for Medicaid, [0] so it's hard to see why ICE having access to a roster of Medicaid enrollees would help them with their stated mission of enforcing removal orders.

Then again, we have ICE shooting American citizens in the streets, so I guess the law is whatever they decide it is, not least because our legislative branch is uninterested in laws.

What about finding them through the records of their citizen children?

It’s almost as if ICE’s real new mission has nothing to do with immigration enforcement and more about terrorizing the public into submission?
