Trump Cuts $11m Funding to Miami Catholic Charity for Migrant Kids Amid Dispute with the Pope

The Trump administration has ended an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities in Miami, which has sheltered unaccompanied migrant children entering the U.S. This decision follows a series of public clashes between President Trump and Pope Francis over foreign policy and the conflict in Iran. Trump has called the pontiff weak and even shared an image of himself in messianic tones. Church leaders note that the Miami archdiocese has cared for vulnerable children since the 1960s. They warn that losing this funding will force the program to close within three months, despite its long record of excellence. A children’s rights expert told the Miami Herald that repeatedly relocating minors could worsen trauma, undermine bonding and destroy their sense of stability.
