Several Colorado groups want Gov. Jared Polis’ administration to rebuff a request from the federal government for data about Medicaid enrollees, saying they fear the Trump administration would use the information in his campaign to crack down on illegal immigration.

In a statement, the groups — some of which advocate for abortion rights and immigrants — said they are “deeply concerned about the potential implications of having personal identifying health information turned over to an agency that has no authority over CMS or Medicaid.”

The groups included the Colorado Center on Law and Policy, Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights and Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition.

They cited reports saying state health authorities are reviewing the federal request. They also pointed to reports that the Trump administration provided Homeland Security officials with personal data, including the immigration status, of Medicaid enrollees.

Top advisers to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ordered the dataset handed over to the Department of Homeland Security, according to the Associated Press.

The dataset included information of people living in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington, D.C., all of which allow immigrants illegally staying in the U.S. to enroll in Medicaid programs that pay for their expenses using state taxpayer money.

“This is not a typical data request,” said Bethany Pray in the news release, the chief legal and policy officer of Colorado Center on Law and Policy — one of the groups urging the Polis administration to deny the federal data request. 

Colorado and a few states permit their Medicaid program to cover certain individuals illegally staying in the U.S. Colorado also allows immigrants to buy subsidized health plans through the OmniSalud program.     

Trump campaigned on the promise of curbing border crossings and deporting people convicted or accused of violent crimes.

The White House said in the first 100 days under Trump, daily border encounters went down by 93%, while encounters with “gotaways” — which the administration called the “the top threat to public safety” — dipped by 95%. His administration also reduced immigrant crossings by 99.99%, the White House said.

Colorado has been in the spotlight of the country’s illegal immigration debate. In the two years since 90 immigrants were dropped off downtown Denver, more than 40,000 immigrants have come to Colorado’s largest city. It’s estimated about half of those stayed, and others accepted transportation tickets to other cities. Denver taxpayers have assumed the bulk of the city’s response at nearly $90 million.
