Trump Admin Withdraws Head Start Services for Undocumented Children
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration has banned undocumented children in low-income
families from receiving federal assistance from the Head Start program
that provides federally funded educational, nutrition and healthcare
services. The National Head Start Association said in a statement, "Head
Start programs strive to make every child feel welcome, safe, and
supported, and reject the characterization of any child as 'illegal.'"
