Report: NJ Church Lays Off 195 After Getting $18 Million from USAID for Migrants
Breitbart ^ | 02/23/2025 | Amy Furr

Posted on 02/24/2025 9:47:10 AM PST by DFG

A church in Highland Park, New Jersey, is in a tough spot after receiving millions of dollars in USAID relief funds to assist illegals.

Leaders with the Reformed Church of Highland Park told Shore News Network they laid off 195 workers after President Donald Trump’s administration stopped federal money from going to migrant resettlement programs, the website reported Sunday.

The outlet said it “confirmed layoffs through a WARN notice filed with the New Jersey Department of Labor.”

It continued:

The church, which had received $18 million in aid from USAID to place migrants in jobs across New Jersey, is now struggling to keep its programs running. Reverend Seth Kaper-Dale said his organization is owed more than $1.3 million for services rendered in January alone and warned that without immediate support, key programs could collapse.

“For the past 3.5 years, we have experienced that refugees and immigrants are a blessing,” Kaper-Dale said. “Since January 20th, everything has collapsed.”

According to the church’s website, it has had an “active immigration committee since 2002, when our members first started sharing their experiences of trouble with the U.S. Immigration System.”

“For the past 3.5 years, we have experienced that refugees and immigrants are a blessing,

Blessing is a euphemism for cash cow.

Kinda like manna from Big Bro.

so far it’s been Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, now reformed church.

Jesus knew what he was talking about when he gave the parable about the enemy tossing weed seeds into the wheat. Seems everyone has been infiltrated.

The lord works in mysterious ways.

If I were getting 18 million a year from the US government to fund illegal aliens I’d consider the a blessing too

Lots of money for pretending to be decent people. Did the ‘church’ have drag queen shows for their Sunday School kids too?
