December 19, 2025Today CPR submitted on its own behalf and on behalf of 33 other national and state disability advocacy organizations comments opposing the Department of Homeland Security’s proposed “public charge” rule. This rule, if enacted, would allow DHS to deny entry to or remove anyone with a disability if they, their children, or their family members relied on any type of public resources for support.
