The Trump administration has canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami to house and care for unaccompanied migrant children, a move that will end a decades-long partnership with the federal government.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, has funded the program for years, relying on Catholic Charities to operate what amounts to a federally supported foster care system for children entering the U.S. without parents or guardians, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
Federal officials contacted the organization in late March about the cancellation.
The media is spinning this as a ‘feud’ between Trump and Pope Leo, but it was actually a pre-existing move.
And one that makes a lot of sense.
