President Donald Trump has shut down fundraising for Biden-era initiatives and charities that quietly crafted the “fast truck” pathway for immigrants to enter America’s homeland.

On his first day back to the White House, the Republican president was Presidential Order It gave a freezing of funding to development support for foreign and involved nonprofit organizations, arguing that such funding should be more compatible with the interests of US foreign policy. The order had a monumental impact, especially on one major nonprofit organization, with a transition initiative created by the previous administration.

It was launched in 2023 by President Joe Biden, a safe mobility initiative Established Many brick and mortar buildings across Latin America, known as the Safe Mobility Office (SMO), have allowed asylum seekers to apply for entry into the United States. 15 million immigrants have been permitted to register for potential entry into the United States within the first 15 months of the initiative.

House Judicial Republicans investigating the 2024 Safe Mobility Initiative Discussed It is specifically designed to “quickly track” immigration to the US, offering a new path to the country without adding to the chaotic scene taking place at the southern borders . The program paid millions of people to help coach immigrants on how to get inside the US

The initiative continued to allow thousands of immigrants to resettle in the United States until the first day of the Trump administration.

“Following the decision by the US government, the safe mobility initiative is no longer active.” notification The front page of the program’s website also notes that new applications are unacceptable and those already featured to resettle in standby for further updates.

The Biden administration opened its first SMO in June 2023 and continued to expand in new locations across Central and South America. These processing centres worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to allow foreigners the opportunity to legally migrate to the United States.

However, critics of the initiative have begun to point out that the Biden administration is simply creating a quick run for more immigrants to enter the US

“Under President Biden, the State Department has announced a safe mobility office initiative that allows illegal aliens to bypass the southwest border, and, according to UNHCR, “avoid risks associated with previous movements.” Please.” June 2024. “In other words, this new program will quickly track aliens into the United States, without public transparency in the disruption at the border, so that Americans can’t see.”

Released Mixed Mixed Migration Center Survey March 2024 90% of SMO users have shown that they want to reach the United States for economic opportunity, rather than fleeing persecution or war.

The House Judiciary Committee later wrote an initiative in a report released during the Biden administration’s decline, with programs spending millions of American taxpayer dollars and thousands of immigrants in Central and South America confirmed that it helps to enter the US

According to the House Report, US taxpayers funded SMOs in 13 different cities: Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica. More than 18,000 migrants from South and Central America have departed for resettlement in the US via a safe mobility initiative. This led to approximately 67,000 foreigners referring to the US refugee hospitalization program for possible resettlement in the country.

According to the Judiciary Committee, US taxpayers have spent over $80 million in funding on SMOs, which is split between UNHCR and IOM. The committee further confirmed that SMO staff had confirmed that migrants who were previously deemed unqualified to enter the United States were also considered refugees on other strategies to enter the country. .

“Only 14% of IOM employees who are dedicated to safe mobility initiatives are U.S. citizens. That means the Biden-Harris administration uses US taxpayer dollars to pay foreign employees at the United Nations, and others This means that we are advising other foreigners on the best ways to deal with foreigners in the United States,” the report said.

Biden launched the initiative during a record-breaking worst year due to illegal border encounters. His administration is trying to suppress high levels of illegal immigration by creating alternatives to otherwise unacceptable immigrants entering the United States, such as the dramatic expansion of the CHNV program and the CBP One App. I have made other attempts to do so.

The Trump administration also took x for nonprofits accused of blocking the illegal immigration crisis. The president’s orders freeze foreign aid came to the frustration of organizations like Catholic charity USA. It was accused for a long time Enable illegal immigration.

“Today we are announcing that we have suspended all grants abused by NGOs to promote illegal immigration to this country,” Homeland Security Secretary Christi Noem said in January. It has been announced. “So it’s amazing how hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the federal government sent to NGOs to promote invasion in our country.”

“I think people are interested in how they are being used by the grants they are being provided by federal agencies.
“We are not spending another dime to help destroy this country.”

Catholic charities and their affiliates have been deeply involved in promoting immigration and refugee resettlement to the United States for many years, with the help of American taxpayers. Between 2023 and 2024, the group and its affiliates received more than $5 million in federal grants. According to Catholic culture.

For example, the Catholic charity Southern Ohio is affiliated with the State Department of Refugee Resettlement, with one of its main sources of income being government fees and grants. In January 2024, the group opened a facility in Springfield, Ohio that provides legal advocacy and other immigration services. This is a town flooded with Haitian immigrants who have been sought by local leaders for federal assistance.

The Archdiocese of Catholic Charities in San Antonio received millions in 2024 with federal funding to provide immigration services, primarily through the Immigration Resource Center, located near the tropical border. However, the organization was blown up by lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to use taxpayer money to cover the costs of immigrant flight tickets.

when I asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that if the president intended to permanently cut funds to organizations like Catholic charities that helped bring illegal immigrants to the United States, he said, He said that Trump’s executive order did just that.

Kelly Alice Robinson, president and CEO of Catholic Charity USA, asked for administration Official Statement It reconsiders the financing freeze and argues that the work will provide essential services. The organization did not respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“For over a century, the Catholic Charity Network has worked with governments to care for poor and vulnerable people in all U.S. communities. We are committed to the government and to take care of our neighbours in need. We continue to cooperate,” I wrote in January. “We urge the administration to reconsider this decision.”

Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid spending has stopped other seemingly Friboris spending on immigration services.
