The Thanksgiving holiday is about coming together to share a meal as a family – but the Trump administration’s proposed change to the “public charge” rule could make immigrant families who live paycheck to paycheck choose between their meals and their families.  TMO strongly opposes the rule change because it poses threats to the health, safety, and humanity of immigrant families.
