Trump Administration Targets Charities Assisting Migrants Amid Policy Overhaul

President Donald Trump's administration is intensifying scrutiny of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide aid to migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. This initiative includes a comprehensive review of federal funding allocated to such charities, with a focus on those offering assistance to individuals entering the country without legal authorization.

As part of this policy overhaul, the administration has implemented a freeze on U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funds, affecting numerous NGOs that support migrants and refugees. This move has drawn criticism from various quarters, including Caritas Internationalis, the global charity arm of the Roman Catholic Church. . .
