Abstract: In the months since inauguration, the Trump Administration has leveled a staggering number of threats on social programs--from executive orders to funding freezes and staff layoffs--that are already harming child care and early learning programs. These assaults on social infrastructure and aggressive moves to reshape the government are accompanied by increasing attacks on immigrants, many of whom rely on or provide child care and early education (CCEE). With a quarter of children under six coming from immigrant families and almost 20 percent of child care providers and early educators being immigrants, anti-immigrant policies directly affect families with young children and CCEE programs. This resource briefly summarizes the available data on immigrant children, families, and child care providers and early educators and examine the impact of the Trump Administration's anti-immigrant policies on CCEE to date.
