  • Trump Admin Cancels $11M Catholic Charities Contract Amid Feud With Pope - Newsweek

    Newsweek contacted the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami for comment by email on Thursday morning. Meanwhile, the nonprofit Democracy Forward has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking records of the Trump administration's decision. "The idea that federal officials would yank millions of dollars from an organization caring for children because of the president's self-inflicted messaging disagreement with the Pope should alarm anyone who believes in democracy, the rule of law, religious liberty, and basic accountability in government," said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward.
