Trump admin cancels $11M Catholic Charities contract

The HHS said the cancellation was motivated by a falling number of migrant children entering the United States without adult supervisors.

The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which offers shelter and care to migrant children entering the United States alone.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has paid Catholic Charities for numerous years to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision. The federal government contacted the charity about the cancellation in late March, according to The Miami Herald.

The abrupt severing of the White House’s long-term support to the nonprofit comes amid an ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV. Responding to Leo’s repeated criticism of the Iran war, Trump bashed the pope on Sunday in a social media post in which he called him “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy, urging him to “get his act together as Pope.”

    None of this behavior is surprising. He has always been this way. I’m tired of people who should know, not realizing this. Trump has always been this way, and he should have been gone when he made fun of the disabled veteran all those years ago.

      His pettiness has allowed him to achieve amazing things. He used it to fuel his ambitions to replace the Catholic Church.

      Now he is the one offering sanctuary and relief to countless pedophiles worldwide.
