The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on Tuesday sued to challenge the Trump administration’s moves to block funding for refugee resettlement programs.
Immigration groups have already sued the administration for suspending new refugee admissions, but the new lawsuit seeks to stop the State Department from freezing funding for local organizations that partner with the federal government to support refugees once they arrive in the United States.
The USCCB’s suit says more than 6,700 admitted refugees were assigned to it when its funding was suspended late last month, leaving the organization on the hook for millions of dollars weekly and already forcing it to lay off employees.
