The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Charities USA are among more than 200 non-governmental organizations named in a congressional probe for aiding immigrants its leaders call “inadmissible aliens” during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, R-Tenn., and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Accountability Chairman Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., announced their investigation June 11.
According to a June 11 press release, “The chairmen are examining whether these NGOs used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity, as the previous administration incentivized millions of inadmissible aliens to cross our borders — many of whom were subsequently aided by NGOs after being released at the border under the Biden-Harris administration’s mass catch-and-release policies.”
Biden was U.S. president from January 2021-January 2025. He was preceded and succeeded by President Donald Trump.
In letters sent to the NGOs, Brecheen and Green “request each NGO complete a survey that includes questions on the government grants, contracts, and disbursements they have received; any lawsuits against the U.S. federal government they are petitioning; amicus briefs they have filed in any lawsuit brought against the U.S. federal government; any legal service, translation service, transportation, housing, sheltering, or any other form of assistance provided to illegal immigrants or unaccompanied alien children since January 2021; and more.”

My rewording of the headline:
“Criminal NGOs under investigation for aiding and abetting illegal immigration.”
unaccompanied alien children

Speaking of them ..
Has anyone looked into bidens DHS losing at least a quarter million of these poor kids ?
Is anyone looking for them ?
Grrrrrr.
“””“The chairmen are examining whether these NGOs used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity, as the previous administration incentivized millions of inadmissible aliens to cross our borders”””
This Congressional Oversight action is long overdue. We have known for years that the Feds have been paying these NGO’s to help illegals cross our border and then settle these illegals in towns across America.
Doing the work that Pam, Kash and Dan won’t do.
My wife and I stopped donating to any and all USCCB charities years ago, specifically because of their terribly unethical activities regarding immigrant support. Regardless of their claims of “Christian charity”, they actually supported human trafficking and drug “mules”.
Go get ‘em!!
Aiding human and child trafficking....EVIL!
Yup—many of these NGOs are criminal enterprises wearing disguises to dupe the masses.
Aiding and abetting illegal aliens was their intent—so they became a criminal enterprise.
Funny how their “charities” closed shop after the federal dollars were withheld. That’s because it isn’t a charity at all, it’s an illicit business.

It brings a bitter taste in my mouth and pain to my heart to acknowledge that the diocese of Minneapolis Saint Paul and Dallas sold us out for federal bribes to help settle “refugees” like the scumbag that is now representing Minneapolis in congress.
There are probably others as well but these two I know about for sure.
DOUGE already confirmed the Fed gov is literally subsidizing the far left Lutheran ELCA by doing this. Without government funds this denomination would collapse.
Catholic Charities has been pro illegal for at least 30 years. I hope they destroy it.
Go git ‘em!
Same here.
Same reasons I stopped donating to the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal.
It talked with a priest in Tucson about ten years ago. Even then they were busy right at the border, picking up people and putting them on busses headed to the interior of our country, where they were to be “sponsored” by people they didn’t even know much less have vetted. Not sure how that was funded, but it was a large ongoing operation. Probably USAID money.
