Mixed-status families would include American citizens who are married to an immigrant, and their children.

According to HUD’s OWN ANALYSIS, this proposed rule would result in the eviction of 25,000 immigrant families, including 55,000 children eligible for housing assistance. In fact, two-thirds of people in mixed-status families are already U.S. citizens; the majority of them children.

That’s a lot of homeless families and children, who would be kicked out of their homes for no reason other than racism and xenophobia.

Said HUD, after reviewing this proposal: “The withdrawal of this extremely harmful proposed rule is a win for fair housing – and human decency.”
