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.”

      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.

        Thankfully my highly Catholic parents are both staunchly anti-Trump. They still have awful views on lots of other things though.

    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.

        That’s like the best possible outcome and would justify having to put up with all of MAGA’s shit.

        He’d be killed by the evangelicals pretty quickly though.

    Tax them, Donald! That’ll teach them a lesson! In fact, tax all religions so the rest of them know not to challenge you!

      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.

    Add “Petty Bitch” to the list of the Orange Child Rapist titles

      He’s had the Petty Bitch title for most of his life, though.

      It’s just not enough for him to rape children anymore. When Donald Trump rapes a child, he only hurts that one child. By taking millions from a charity that helps children, Donald Trump has found one more way to ruin many children’s lives all at once.

      Trump seems like a person who heard that old meme about “How many children could you defeat?” and he ran with it.

      Stopping food programs for children. Bombing elementary schools. Raping children. Caging children and separating them from their families. Deporting children despite their being US Citizens.

      Trump is working from every angle to harm as many children as possible.

        I don’t think it’s actually about children. I think it just happens that children are the most vulnerable demographic so it feels extra good to permanently damage them with impunity.

        As with everything trump, the cruelty is the point.

    Every cult needs a religious leader, he is just eliminating the fake ones, like … checks notes … the Pope.

    I really want the pope to excommunicate Vance over all of this. That would be some excellent television.

    None of this behavior is surprising. He has always been this way. I’m tired of people who should know, not realizing this. Trump has always been this way, and he should have been gone when he made fun of the disabled veteran all those years ago.

      His pettiness has allowed him to achieve amazing things. He used it to fuel his ambitions to replace the Catholic Church.

      Now he is the one offering sanctuary and relief to countless pedophiles worldwide.
