If you live in any of those states and there is a vote for attorney general in those states coming up, which many of them will in November, you should probably vote against the side that's suing the government to stop welfare for immigrants who are not even citizens.

Sean ReynoldsHOST
Every person deserves privacy and dignity in their home.
Sean ReynoldsHOST
Privacy.
Sean ReynoldsHOST
All they're doing is looking at the tax records, the King County tax records and going, oh, they've got an old house that's got minimal contribution value and it's on a good size lot and we can build a bunch of units on it.
Sean ReynoldsHOST
So if you want privacy, complain to King County that your home tax records are out there, but you can't do that because all home tax records are basically public tax records.
Eric HoldemanHOST
Where does it happen? How bad is it? Where are the worst places? What resources might be needed in those places? So have you found that the Emergency Operations Center, be it at the state for a multi-county place or incidents, is the best place to go and try and get that information? And I would just add that this has not happened.
Eric HoldemanHOST
I've had a larger county, King County with 2 million population.
Eric HoldemanHOST

Paul LawrenceGUEST
That's something that rests with the state Supreme Court.
Paul LawrenceGUEST
So we're going to get a decision out of Klickitat County.

New York City is leading a coalition of cities and counties, including Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Clara County, and King County, to sue the federal government for the gross illegality of their new public charge rule and the irreparable damage that it will cause.
Zohran MamdaniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We are filing our lawsuit alongside a separate challenge led by Attorney General James.
Zohran MamdaniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm grateful for her partnership in this fight and for everything she has done to stand steadfast alongside New Yorkers.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
In plain English, if you're applying to immigrate here, the government wants to know whether you can actually support yourself or whether American taxpayers are going to pick up the tab.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
Mamdani, along with New York Attorney General Letitia James and five other sanctuary jurisdictions, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Clara County, King County, are now all suing to block this new standard.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
But why? Why is the default legal reflex legal? Of democratic leadership, the instant a rule requires immigrants to demonstrate they won't become a primary dependent on the American taxpayer, why is there standard reflex to run to federal court? Mamdani called the rule a gross illegality that will cause irreparable damage and warned that families, including U.S.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
citizen children... are already avoiding SNAP and Medicaid out of fear that using them could jeopardize a future here.
