Chip Roy will push federal agencies to rescind the Obama-era ban on states collecting immigration-status data in public schools.

Today, Congressman Chip Roy sent a letter to Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and Education Secretary Linda McMahon urging the two federal agencies to rescind an Obama-era policy that has prevented states from collecting basic immigration-status data in public schools.

Roy calls on federal agencies to overturn the policy blocking states from collecting immigration-status data in schools.
