Since President Donald Trump entered office for the second time, he has drastically changed federal immigration policies. In a significant ramp-up from his first presidency, Trump’s second administration has aggressively delivered on its anti-immigration campaign promises. Arrests have doubled, border crossings have dropped, and the number of rescinded deportation protections has increased since January of this year.
H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was passed into law by Congress on July 4, 2025. This major spending act will add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade. OBBBA will fund tax cuts while making cuts to essential programs like Medicaid, a joint federal-state health insurance program administered by the states and relied on by millions of disabled and low-income Americans.

This leaves limited English proficiency (LEP) communities vulnerable to future and inevitable natural disasters like wildfires.
Texas lawmakers have approved a redistricting plan designed to give Republicans up to five more seats in Congress ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a process known as gerrymandering.

Here are the facts.

Climate change—namely, global warming—is only exacerbating these wildfires, making them more intense and frequent in recent years. As a result, advocates and caregivers for people with disabilities emphasize that prompt action is key.
