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.”

Unattended children in Florida being unhoused does probably appeal to a pedophile like him.

    Alternatively being housed by the Catholic Church has some pedophile concerns of its own.

    He's really doubling down on starting a feud with the Catholic church isn't he? Watch him declare himself head of the American church like Henry the 8th by next week or so.

    Isn’t that why Ivana is buried in the golf course?

    He is such a child. I get "I'm gonna take MY ball and go home" vibes from him.
