"The Trump administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida."
"The federal government reached out to the charity in late March about the cancellation of the funding. Naturally, the Serwer Protocol applies here-the cruelty is the point."
"There are still children in the care of Catholic Charities in Miami and elsewhere. It's unclear how many there are, and where they are besides South Florida, or where they will go."
The Trump administration has terminated an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities, which has provided care for unaccompanied migrant children. This decision ends a long-standing partnership between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government. The cancellation occurs amid tensions between the administration and American Catholics, particularly regarding President Trump's criticism of Pope Leo XIV. The Office of Refugee Resettlement has funded Catholic Charities for years, and the future of the children currently in their care remains uncertain following this funding cut.
