Was Catholic Charities Complicit in the Murder of Laken Riley?
March 3, 2024 Tags Illegal Immigration from Complicit Clergy by Staff
The story of the murder of Georgia college student Laken Riley by an illegal alien suspect named Jose Ibarra has dominated national news headlines this past week.
Ibarra allegedly entered the US via El Paso, Texas in 2022 and was released from a detention center due to overcrowding. NewsNation reports that a suspect matching Ibarra’s name and age was arrested by New York police in 2022 for endangering a 5-year-old child.
Now we learn that Ibarra was apparently a resident of Covenant House, a New York based charity. Ibarra listed Covenant House’s address as his official release address on his U.S. Customs and Border Patrol documents. Congressman Lance Gooden of Texas has demanded that Convenant House immediately release all records related to Jose Ibarra.
Covenant House is an agency of Catholic Charities of New York. Its stated goal is to provide safe housing and holistic care to youth ages 16–21 experiencing homelessness and survivors of human trafficking. Its latest 990 Form reveals that it raised nearly $91 million in 2022.
Covenant House operates in 14 U.S. States, 2 Canadian Providences and 6 Latin American cities. A search of USAspending.gov for entries containing the keyword “Covenant House” revealed a total of $56.6 million in prime awards and $13.3 in subawards in federal taxpayer funds provided to Covenant House in between 2021-2023 (click here for a list of the detailed grants). Keep in mind these grants may have been made for services unrelated to immigration activities, but money is fungible. Keep in mind this is simply one of the hundreds of entites through which Catholic organizations are receiving federal taxpayer funds and does not account for any state taxpayer grants these organizations may have received (see Bishop Bank Billions in Federal Immigration Funds).
Residing in the Archdiocese of New York, Covenant House is ultimately the responsibility of Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
Here are a few questions that we believe deserve some answers:
- How does a 26-year-old illegal alien wind-up in a charity supposedly serving kids that are survivors of human trafficking?
- Does Covenant House do a background check on people before providing them with housing?
- What types of assistant did Covenant House provide to Iberra (cash, debit cards, housing, food, transportation, phone, etc.)?
- How many other illegal aliens are residing at Covenant House in New York? What risks are kids being exposed to by these aliens?
- How many other Covenant House locations throughout the nation are providing assistant to illegal aliens?
- How did Ibarra end up in Georgia? Did Covenant House have a role in transferring him to an agency in Georgia? If so, which one?
- What contracts does Covenant House, Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese of New York have the federal and state government agencies in which they are receiving taxpayer funds to assist illegal aliens?
- If Ibarra is supposedly living New York, how does he wind-up in Georgia? Is Covenant House simply acting a front, providing an address for illegal aliens?
Perhaps Cardinal Dolan can provide some answers.
TAKE ACTION: Contact Cardinal Dolan at communications@archny.org or 212-371-1000 and ask him to cooperate with Congressman Gooden records request and let him know what you think about his Archdiocese involvement in the trafficking of illegal aliens.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Bishops to stop enabling the illegal invasion of our nation

When Bill O’Reilly was on his last couple of weeks of his #1 Fox show, he had a Kennedy offspring (can’t remember which) and she thanked him again for his annual very generous charity donation to he charity. He sad, sadly, he was never again going to contribute to her or to Catholic Charities because both had then decided to aid abortions. As a Catholic himself he refused to enable abortionists.

Years ago, Mike Savage talked about the massive bribes that many religious groups received to facilitate illegals, not only Catholics.

Yes. They are also responsible for the invasion of our nation as well. There are other complicit NGOs, they aren’t the lone bad actor here.

AND Lutheran Services. There are “charities” making fortunes destroying the western white Christian world.

When I got hired at my current job 15 years ago, my boss was actively recruiting me to help out with a big charity event the company participated in.
I was thinking about it till I discovered the recipient was catholic charities. I refused to participate because I refuse to support illegals

They are working against the interests of the USA and should be defunded.
Why is no one talking about this?

Why is my church taking a cent of blood money from Uncle Sam child killing abortion provider to millions and soldiers?
Whores do that, and I want my church to stop being a government whore.

I stopped giving to Catholic Charities years ago when I found they were passing money through ACORN (remember those bast***s) to Abortion mills in DC area, and they were helping resettle Somalis throughout the country.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan is nowhere to be found. The killer enabler is too busy counting his money.

Speaking of Catholic Charities, from Upstate NY...
Refugee families celebrating Eid Al-Adha are victims of Syracuse house collapse
Lots to unpack there in addition to the involvement of Catholic Charities. And that wasn't a collapse, BTW. Looks like the residents may have been trying to do something with the nat gas lines...
20 people living in the house, just fine eith local authorities.
Now the hospitalized will be getting care, and likely new digs, on the taxpayers' nickel.
Thanks, in part, to Catholic Charities.
