The Trump administration is pressuring U.S. states to report the presence of illegal immigrants. If they fail to comply with this requirement, the states may face a loss of federal funding.

According to reports, this measure aims to ensure that states inform federal authorities about irregular immigrants. Non-compliance could result in cuts to social assistance programs, which are vital for low-income families and the elderly.

The pressure from the Trump administration is part of a broader strategy to discourage illegal immigration and reinforce immigration law enforcement. The situation is generating debate about the legal and social implications of this approach.
