The US Catholic Bishop (USCB) announced on Monday that it ends half a century of partnerships with the federal government to serve refugees and children, saying that the “sudden” decision follows Trump administrationSudden stop to finance the resettlement of refugees.
The rest will inevitably lead to less services than the Catholic agencies that have been able to provide in the past to the needy, bishops He said.
“As a national effort, we cannot simply maintain work alone at the current levels or in the current form,” said US military services, head of US military services. “We will work to identify alternative support for people who have already recognized the federal government in these programs. We ask your prayers for many affected employees and refugees.”
The bishops said that the decision means that the bishop will not renew the current agreements with the federal government. The advertisement did not mention the time when the date of the current agreements was set.
Catholic bishops filed a lawsuit against the Donald Trump administration in February because of its sudden stoppage to finance the aid provided to the newly arrived refugees, saying that they were already owed by millions by Congress to implement re -unified aid under an agreement with the federal government.
But a federal judge stipulated that he could not order the government to pay money due to a contract, saying that the contractual dispute belongs to the Federal Claims Court. The bishops appealed this ruling.
In addition, the specific financing dispute, the Trump administration’s stop for all new arrivals of refugees. The Catholic bishop supervised one of 10 national agencies, most of them from the faith, which contracted with the federal government to resettle refugees who come to the United States law after examining and approved by the federal government.
Bruglo’s announcement was not determined by the children’s services program.
The bishops supervised the Catholic agencies that resettle the displaced for a century. In recent decades, they have done this in partnership with the United States government, where they received grants that covered a lot, although not all expenses.
“The Trump administration’s decision to reduce these programs greatly forces us to reconsider the best way to meet the needs of our brothers and sisters who are looking for a safe port of violence and persecution.”
Although Bruglio asked for prayers for “many employees and refugees affected”, the advertisement did not specify whether the discounts would lead to any layoff.
JD VanceOne of the Catholic transfers accused the bishops’ conference in January of resettlement of immigrants illegally in the United States to obtain millions of federal funding – a clear indication of the resettlement program, which already includes legally accredited refugees.
The bishops note that instead of earning money in the program, they receive less in federal aid than the cost of programs and need to supplement funding in charitable dollar.
The Vice President continued his criticism by attracting Catholic teaching as justifying immigration restrictions. This raised the bishops of the United States only, but an implicit reprimand from Pope Francis, who said that charitable Christianity requires the help of the needy, and not only those in the nearest circles.
