The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has filed multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration following an abrupt halt to federal funding for refugee resettlement programs. As a result of the funding freeze, Catholic Charities agencies across the country are experiencing significant cuts, with organizations in Houston and Syracuse laying off hundreds of employees. Local resettlement agencies in areas such as San Diego and North Texas are struggling to support newly arrived refugees, with some families facing the threat of losing their homes. Despite these challenges, a federal judge has declined to block the funding halt, leaving many organizations and service workers in a state of uncertainty.
