The Trump administration is proposing a new rule that seeks to prevent illegal immigrants from being granted public housing financial assistance, The Epoch Times has learned. The move would ensure that American citizens are first in line to review housing subsidies.

The proposal from The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) marks the latest effort from the administration to enforce immigration law. HUD has already provided the proposed regulation to Congress for review for a period of 15 days, after which they will publish the proposed amendments to become available for public comment for 60 days.
