Watchdogs demand info from DHS, HHS on NGOs working along Texas border to aid illegal immigrants
Fox News
CatholicVote and Judicial Watch are demanding access to records and communications between the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the Diocese of Brownsville, Texas.
Communications between CBP and Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, as well as communications with the Humanitarian Respite Center are also requested. Similar requests have been made to the HHS.
"The Biden administration has refused to provide copies of communications between Catholic-affiliated charities and organizations at the border. Their lack of transparency and obstruction forced us to file these federal lawsuits," said CatholicVote president Brian Burch. "American Catholics deserve to know the full extent of the U.S. government's role in funding and coordinating with Catholic Church affiliated agencies at the border, and what role these agencies played in the record surge of illegal immigrants over the past year."
