Idaho House Minority Leader Rep. Ilana Rubel, reflecting on a controversial bill that would have required charities, including churches and food banks, to verify citizenship before providing aid. She and other Democrats criticized the Republican-led Legislature for pursuing policies they say prioritize cuts and culture issues over essential services, while highlighting the defeat of the measure as a key moment of opposition.
