A left-wing nonprofit working to end mass incarceration landed a $171.7 million taxpayer-funded government contract that could potentially hit $1 billion to help unaccompanied minors avoid deportation, Fox News Digital has discovered.

The Vera Institute of Justice, a New York-based group that supports defunding police and views immigration enforcement agencies as a "threat" to civil liberties, was awarded a Health and Human Services-funded contract in March to provide legal assistance to unaccompanied minors, according to a federal database.

The arrangement lasts until March 2023 but can reach as high as $983 million if renewed until March 2027, the agreement shows. This appears to be the largest federal contract Vera has secured for immigration-related services for any single year dating back to the mid-2000s.

The lofty nine-figure contract came amid an escalating border crisis that saw more than 239,000 migrant encounters in May alone -- a historic high. There were 14,699 encounters of unaccompanied minors in May, an increase from the 12,180 encountered in April and slightly higher than the 14,052 encountered in May 2021.

According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), there was an average of 692 minors in the agency's custody during May. So far, there have been more than 100,000 unaccompanied minor encounters in fiscal year 2022, which started in October, compared to 147,925 for fiscal year 2021 and 33,239 in fiscal year 2020.

Unaccompanied minors are not being removed under the Title 42 public health order -- which has been used to expel a majority of migrants coming across the southern border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non profit? Bullspit!

Deport all illegals. Period. Full stop. $0M.

Non profit doesn’t mean the company makes no money. It just means the corporate entity makes no profit - all the $ goes to owners, employees, and expenses.

But because of the word “non profit”, many equate it to a charity, which they are not.

And it’s not like charities don’t make money either.

So you can make quite a pretty penny w/non profit while at the same time the public thinks you’re mother teresa.

Quite a scam.

Sounds like treason to me.

Amnesty Senators Cornyn, Tillis, Grahamnesty, Hoeven and Rubio want to give them ALL amnesty.

Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators...../s

So our government just gave $171 million of our tax dollars to a group that will aid and abet federal crimes? We have a justice system in this Country. We have laws. Any intervention should be considered obstruction.

Gotta keep those lib lawyers employed during the recession with taxpayer money.

Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators.

Indeed every house needs a few tent in the yard.

Not a problem. The following will force illegal aliens out of the country because they can’t work if ALL of the following is instituted -

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 40-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund from tax on remittances.

To address the muslims, just tell them they won’t be able to have their mosques available to them in the US.
