President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to bar undocumented migrants from accessing public benefits, even though they’re already denied most federally funded programs—his latest move to tamp down on illegal immigration, though it wasn’t immediately clear which initiatives would be impacted.

Federal officials provided little information about immigration operations in the Triangle and across the state.

The decision is part of the Trump administration's effort to carry out mass deportations and to scale back Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Half a million Haitian refugees who sought shelter and stability in the United States will lose protection against deportation this summer.
