The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which offers shelter and care to migrant children entering the United States alone.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has paid Catholic Charities for numerous years to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision. The federal government contacted the charity about the cancellation in late March, according to The Miami Herald.
The abrupt severing of the White House’s long-term support to the nonprofit comes amid an ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV. Responding to Leo’s repeated criticism of the Iran war, Trump bashed the pope on Sunday in a social media post in which he called him “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy, urging him to “get his act together as Pope.”

Do you think we can trick him into taxing churches
Call it a tariff instead and it’s got legs.
Him in a vacuum? Yes, probably.
However, it’s the handlers and enablers Wormtonguing him behind the scenes that make it difficult.Wormtonguing him behind
Ahhhhhh! You could’ve chosen any combination of words but you had to use tonguing and behind.
Probably that too tbh
what a petty little bitch
A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.
I’m curious if there’s historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.
I’d like to think anywhere before say 1900s they’d have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula…is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he’s done.
At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he’ll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let’s all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don’t acknowledge he’s there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.
Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He’s a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he’s been treated with kid gloves cause he’s rich.
The “ignore” tactic might work on an anonymous internet troll, it’s impossible for the president of the US. Even if he acts like an internet troll.
I second that idea. Lets make June Ignore the Orange Shit-stain month since his birthday is in June. Maybe he’ll stroke-out out of pure rage.
He wouldn’t notice or care. Ignoring Trump is how he got elected twice.
“Support me politically, or I will do stuff that will hurt the kids living in my own country” was Putin’s thing back in 2012.
This regime brought to you by the “Culture Of Life ™.”
Please, can I have just one day without some shit from that orange stain? Just one fucking day!
Not until someone puts a bullet down his eye socket.
And even then…
How does he think this is going to punish the Catholic Church? The man is a complete moron.
So I’m all for the Catholic church not getting tax payers money. But let’s be real 11 million to the Catholic church is like me accidentally losing 20 bucks.
You realize the church isn’t getting the money, the church is using the money
to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision
You’re not hurting the church when you no longer let them use your money to help care for the needy, you’re only hurting those needy
Don’t let your hatred of organized religion distract who this hurts
Although I agree with you there are some fundamental issues here.
First: the Catholic Church does not require taxpayer funding to perform charitable or humanitarian work. When it participates in federal refugee resettlement, it is operating as a contracted service provider, not a financially dependent institution. The dependency narrative is therefore misleading.
Second: embedding a religious organization inside state-funded humanitarian logistics creates an inherent conflict of roles. The government is outsourcing policy execution; the Church is executing civic functions under spiritual identity. That overlap guarantees recurring tension over accountability, neutrality, and influence.
Third: policy reversals under the Trump administration altered refugee intake levels and associated funding flows. Whether one interprets that as governance reform or political disruption, the result is the same: humanitarian delivery systems become unstable when they are tightly coupled to shifting political priorities.
Fourth: the moral inconsistency runs in both directions. It is problematic to weaponize funding decisions as leverage against service providers. It is equally problematic to design humanitarian systems that depend on politically contingent funding streams in the first place.
This guy is such a loser. Don’t ever forgive the losers who voted for this because they’re irredeemable trash
you realized the voters, are dumber than he is. and he called them suckers and losers.
I think that he meant the suckers and losers are those “boots on the ground” people.
Imagine normalising having a “Feud with the Pope”. Mental.
Who in this day and age feuds with the dang pope? Are we going to have pope wars again? I hope so.
Is there oil under Vatican City?
Maybe some holy scented oils.
Decaying Saint scent
Maybe children
vatican still has the antimatter bombs.
Illegal
Does this mean the Catholic and Cuban votes will finally turn on him?
I certainly plan to bring this up to my highly catholic family members and see where their loyalty truly lies.
Thankfully my highly Catholic parents are both staunchly anti-Trump. They still have awful views on lots of other things though.
Godspeed. If you think of replying to this I’m genuinely interested.
I’ll put 5 on “yeah I don’t know what he’s doing” “I don’t agree with everything he does” “but look at all the good he’s doing”
If we could channel their cognitive dissonance to turn turbines, we’d solve the energy crisis.
They’re too busy paying foreign companies not to https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/23/trump-administration-wind-project-plan
Wait wait he’s cooking.
Meth?
Never interrupt your opponent when they’re making a mistake
When a government official loses and arbitrary and capricious action lawsuit, it shouldn’t just reverse the policy, it should trigger an automatic removal review.
He’s gonna lose this on first amendment grounds
Three years from now after the charity goes under and no longer exists. But don’t worry, a judge will write a mean sentence about trump.
Yeah the current court system is a bit of a joke. The fact they still aren’t issuing injunctions is just piss. People should be entitled to immediate remedy to constitutional violations.
“That’ll show them I’m the good guy”
