Idaho 's new state law halts some of the few public benefits available to people living in the U.S. unlawfully.

The law requires people to verify their lawful presence to receive public benefits like communicable disease testing, vaccinations, prenatal and postnatal care for women, crisis counseling, some food assistance for children.

The ACLU of Idaho filed the federal lawsuit Thursday night on behalf of Dr. Abby Davids and four people with HIV who are not named.
