The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its decision to suspend federal funding for refugee resettlement.
The move comes as part of President Donald Trump’s broader effort to realign American priorities—protecting the homeland first, rather than funding programs that facilitate unchecked migration.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, names the State Department, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as defendants.
USCCB is incorporated as a non-profit and headquartered in the District of Columbia.
USCCB alleges that the administration’s decision to freeze funds allocated for refugee assistance is not only unlawful but also in direct violation of congressional appropriations and statutory obligations under the Refugee Act of 1980.
According to the complaint:
For nearly 80 years, the Catholic Church has been caring for refugees within the United States. Refugees face significant challenges upon entering the country, including locating housing, learning English, and finding employment.
The Church has long helped to ease those burdens and integrate refugees into American society by providing shelter, clothing, food, and training.

A better description is: for 80 years the Catholic Church has been trafficking 3rd world humans into the US for profit....
It sure did get their attention.
$$$
I suspect that the Catholic Church is rich enough to take on this mission themselves.
They are making themselves look foolish and like a welfare mother with six kids screaming, “where’s my check!”. Combined with the current Pope, it’s become embarrassing to be a Catholic.
These hogs have been doing this for as long as I can remember every once in a while you feed the pig and sometimes you need some bacon they don’t understand this they need to get out of this country
Zero them out.
Looks like the USCCB wants everybody’s tax dollars much more than they want my voluntary donations right now.
Looks like the archbishop’s annual appeal is going to only one dollar this year.
Looks like they’re upset the money has been cut off.
YEP 1000%. And I hope it runs dry after what they did to these people!!!! And some of these Bishops should be put in jail for trafficking children and women!!!!
I propose a race.....let’s see what crosses the finish line first: the lawsuit or the loss of the Catholic Church’s tax-exempt status.
Absolutely. Why don’t they open the Vatican’s Walls and let refugees seek shelter?
The USCCB is not the rank-and-file Catholic. But yea, I agree with your statements. Wow, what people do for money.
When are these bozos going to start paying their “fair share” of taxes? Trump needs to hit them with a lawsuit. The government should not be funding them. That “separation of church and state” thingy.
DOGE should audit what the Catholic Church and their allies in the Lutheran (ELCA) and Episcopal churches are spending the money. I don’t know what the contracts between the nonprofits and USAID involved but you would think there is an ability to trace where the funds go.
Correct answer—the Catholic Church hierarchy has become the enemy.
Their 501(3) status should be pulled.
Then we begin a RICO case against them—conspiracy to violate the immigration laws.
We did not choose this—they did.
Actually, these NGOs should be forece to pay back every single red cent of U.S. taxpayer money...sepatration of church and state, ya know. That should bankrupt em inot oblivion.
Then, the leadership needs to be arrested for treason, human trafficking, crimes against humanity, etc. and sent to GITMO to face charges.
^THAT^ will put a holy “END” to this terasonous BS.
You have to wonder if the Red Cross is gets money from USAID.
No lie, back in the 80’s my Mom caught the local Catholic Charities driving Asian refugees to abortion appointments.
Agreed.
