As the Trump administration ramps up nationwide raids and deportations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, will be given access to the personal data of the nation’s nearly 79 million Medicaid enrollees, including their home address, Social Security number, ethnicity and race. The new agreement was first reported by the Associated Press, and Trump officials have not publicly announced it. Undocumented immigrants are already banned from Medicaid benefits, but federal law requires all states to offer emergency Medicaid, which offers nearly free coverage for lifesaving care at hospitals regardless of a person’s immigration status.
