Trump Administration Hands Millions to Refugee Admission Groups

The Trump administration is quietly authorizing millions of dollars in refugee resettlement funding, including to organizations operating at the center of the illegal immigration crisis.

According to Federal Register notices published on September 22, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement intends to award nearly seven million dollars in replacement grants to two nonprofit organizations involved in refugee case management and integration services. One of those awards directs more than two and a half million dollars to a St. Paul based organization operating in Minnesota, the focal point of the Somali fraud investigations.

The second Federal Register notice issued the same day announces ORR’s intent to award up to $4,500,000 to Catholic Charities USA, one of the largest refugee resettlement and social service organizations in the country. The award is designated for intensive case management services under the Preferred Communities program and continues Catholic Charities’ longstanding role as a federal partner in refugee resettlement.

This is the new name of the Lutheran immigration service:

Apologies to Missouri Synod members! This is an ELCA organization!

New name, but same horrible modus operandi! These are the ones who brought Somali savages to Minnesota!

I am a former ELCA member who converted to the Orthodox Church. I knew some of the people who ran the Lutheran (ELCA) immigration service. They were probably well-meaning, but they were deluded. Lord have Mercy!

"Global Refuge".

I looked that up. Global Refuge. Their tagline "We walk alongside people from across the globe as they make a new home in the United States."

“””This is the new name of the Lutheran immigration service:

This reminds me of those old TV shows where the announcer stated: “The names have been changed to protect the innocent.”

In the Lutheran case, “ “The names have been changed to hide the guilty”.

“Well meaning” folks can be extremely hazardous to children and other living things.

Every human needs to understand that is critical to take your own side.

This money is a backdoor into their whole operation. If this money is accepted, we have the keys to the kingdom.

High price to pay for a set of keys. How about zero dollars to the grifters posing as holier than thou church charities. If they were getting zero from .gov I bet they wouldn't be so "charitable" with their own resources.

People also ask Who pays for refugee resettlement?
Through the Dept of State and the Dept of HHS. The State Dept funds the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide refugees with an interest-free loan to travel to the US, which they are required to start repaying sometime after they arrive.Dec 4, 2025

THink! the money will not be given without tight supervision. Just because the are awarded the money, doesn’t mean they get it. It is only a few million, cheapest way to reveal fraud.

If they understood the trap, they wouldn’t take the money.

Close the border but keep the perks to illegals flowing?
