Trump admin cancels $11M Catholic Charities contract
www.newsweek.com
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.”

      A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.

      I’m curious if there’s historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.

      I’d like to think anywhere before say 1900s they’d have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula…is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he’s done.

      At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he’ll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let’s all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don’t acknowledge he’s there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.

      Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He’s a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he’s been treated with kid gloves cause he’s rich.

        I second that idea. Lets make June Ignore the Orange Shit-stain month since his birthday is in June. Maybe he’ll stroke-out out of pure rage.
