#Catholic bishops sue the #Trump admin over its abrupt halt to funding of refugee resettlement, calling the action unlawful & harmful to newly arrived #refugees & the nation’s largest private resettlement program.
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops says the admin,by withholding millions even for reimbursements of costs incurred before the sudden cut-off of funding,violates various #laws & the constitutional provision giving power of the purse to #Congress, which already approved the #funding.
