Refugee resettlement non-profit boasts partnership with Alabama Legislature; Former House speaker, Huntsville mayor serve on board

As Alabama's leaders lament the ongoing influx of migrants entering the state, one organization that facilitates resettling refugees in Alabama claims to currently partner with the state legislature and has former House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, now the Madison County Commission chairman, and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle on its board.

Much has been made in recent months, both in Alabama and nationwide, of the proliferation of immigrants flooding into smaller towns and communities. After several reports of specifically Haitian migrants arriving in towns like Athens and Sylacauga, Gov. Kay Ivey and lawmakers began speaking out against the influx, blaming the Biden administration.

The migrants initially showed up in local communities without any explanation. Lawmakers and those in the executive branch all claimed not to have been informed about the influx, where the migrants came from, and who settled them in the state.

Answers have been scant as to which non-profits or organizations are responsible for relocating migrants into the state and what legal status the migrants are here under. 1819 News has contacted multiple Alabama-based organizations, but none have confirmed their role in relocating migrants and refugees, Haitian or otherwise.

However, one non-profit stands alone in operating a refugee resettlement program while also boasting of an official partnership with the Alabama Legislature and several counties and municipalities.

Global Ties Alabama (GTA) is a Huntsville-based 501(c)3 nonprofit partner of the U.S. Department of State that “promotes global peace and understanding through citizen diplomacy.” GTA was founded as The International Services Council of Alabama in 1965 as an outreach of the Huntsville Rotary Club to welcome international military trainees to Redstone Arsenal

GTA claims public partnerships with some of the state’s most prominent universities, the Alabama Legislature, and the cities of Huntsville, Hoover, Birmingham, Madison, Mobile, and Montgomery. It also partners with several left-wing organizations, such as the SPLC, NAACP, Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), Alabama Appleseed and more.

Basically the same scam that’s going on in Springfield Ohio and Aurora Colorado.
And who knows how many other towns.

And it is these small skirmishes in the \deportation\ wars that Trump (his proxies) needs to put down with prejudice.

These are the immigrant NGOs that get fed-funding who file suit against deportation.
The rhetoric of “easy, fast deportation” is simply that.
Trump knows this.
He won’t pull welfare funding without a court fight.
He won’t begin round-ups without a court fight.

Follow the money.
