Left-Wing Nonprofit Scores $171.7 Million-$1 Billion Government Contract To Help Illegal Immigrants Avoid Authorities Note: This article may contain commentary reflecting the author’s opinion.
A liberal non-profit group has been given a taxpayer-funded government contract worth at least $171.7 million — which could potentially reach just under $1 billion — for assisting illegal immigrant minors in avoiding capture or incarceration by U.S. Border Patrol and state officials.
The Department of the Interior was the awarding agency and “The Vera Institute of Justice,” based out of New York — which supports the “defund the police” movement and has lax views on immigration enforcement — was the beneficiary.
Health and Human Services (HHS) had initially funded the contract back in March, Fox News Digital discovered, to “provide legal assistance to unaccompanied minors, according to a federal database.”
The deal is structured to last until March of 2023 but it has the potential to reach $983 million if it is renewed through 2027, USASpending showed.
