A federal judge on Thursday delivered a major blow to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), denying their attempt to force the Trump administration into continuing taxpayer funding for their massive refugee resettlement operations.
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, rejected the bishops’ request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that would have forced the administration to immediately restore funding.
The lawsuit, filed by the non-profit organization USCCB in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenged the Trump administration’s decision to cut off federal grants that fuel the mass resettlement of migrants across America—programs that have operated for decades with little oversight. The lawsuit names the State Department, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as defendants.
The decision to halt funding aligns with President Trump’s America First agenda, ensuring that U.S. taxpayer dollars are no longer funneled into organizations facilitating unchecked migration.

MORE WINNING!!
gotta thank dems for teaching the gop all about lawfare and how to get it done.
Good, if they believe in what they are doing, let them pay for it out of the billions they own world wide.
As a Catholic, I’m thrilled with this decision.
“..... into organizations facilitating unchecked INVASION!.
Corrected.
Talk about big balls! Just wow.
I’m a Catholic and I’m glad to see this happening.
When I heard about the ‘Refugee Settlements’ my first thought is ‘I hope you fail!’.
Translation: Wait, what do you mean you can’t stop sending us free money!!!
Now INDICT and PROSECUTE the Bishops under 8 USC 1324
They should be forced to pay back every single red cent of U.S. taxpayer money that they’ve stolen... Ya know, that sepration of chruch and state thingy they like to brag about so much. Forcing them to do this will put them into bankruptcy oblivion ...right where they belong.
Then, the leadership of evey one of these NGO needs to be arrested, transferred to GITMO to face charges of treason, human trafficking and crimes against humanity.
I don’t give a crap of high up the food chain they are in any so-called church...they need TO BE GONE.
This ruling turned out well but the District of Columbia has turned into a very dangerous city with a bunch of incompetent or biased judges.
Yes. MORE WINNNING. In all caps!
Not only aiding and abetting illegals because most are Catholic, but getting money for doing it.
When the money really dries up and the bills come due, all the leftists will be at each others’ throats. Let the games begin.
Judge Trevor McFadden>>> Way to go Trevor. I bought my first car from his grand pa Uncle Willie. His father worked for the Treasury Dept. He would be very proud.
Exactly! Vance was 100% correct about the order of charity. Until every single homeless veteran has a home, and every single wounded veteran has the medical and psychological care he/she needs, I do not support taking care of illegal immigrants. And that’s just a start for taking care of those closest to us before we start taking care of the rest of the world.
And then there’s the whole “sleep with the devil” aspect of taking money from the feds. If you sleep with the devil, don’t be surprised when he comes for your soul.
The Pope has lots of money.
Ask him for a donation.
no more tithing via taxation
