The Department of Justice has taken steps to require states to provide information about undocumented immigrants. States that do not comply may lose federal funds for two key public assistance programs. This move is part of the Trump administration's efforts to enforce its immigration policies.

The decision is based on a new legal opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel. It establishes that states participating in certain programs must provide information about undocumented immigrants.

Further details about this development are available from the source, including the potential impact on states and the specific programs affected.
