A progressive group that views immigration enforcement agencies as a “threat” to civil liberties secured a $158 million taxpayer-funded contract to help unaccompanied minors avoid deportation, records show.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded the Vera Institute of Justice, a left-wing nonprofit that backs defunding the police, the contract in 2021 to “provide immigration related legal services to unaccompanied minors,” according to USASpending, a federal contract database.
The article goes on to state the following:
“The Vera Institute of Justice is a behemoth progressive nonprofit based out of New York City with well over a $140 million budget, which they use to fund a slate of progressive causes and initiatives across the country,” Jason Hopkins, an investigative associate with the Immigration Reform Law Institute, told Fox News. “Whether that be criminal justice reform, bail reform and also immigration.”
According to Hopkins, the federal government provides the institute with about half of its total funding. Recent tax forms reveal that out of the $174 million in revenue reported for the group during the one-year period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, nearly $137 million of that came from government grants.
The special $158 million contract from the federal government began on March 30, 2021, and is set to potentially expire on March 30, 2022.

On their Twitter account, the Vera Institute of Justice describes their mission as follows: “We’re fighting every day to secure equal justice for all, end mass incarceration, and strengthen families and communities.”
The Vera Institute of Justice recently confirmed their support for Alvin Bragg, the new District Attorney of Manhattan, who announced he will not be prosecuting “lower-level” offenses.
Yesterday, @ManhattanDA issued his first memo instructing his staff to halt prosecutions for low-level offenses. Now, some misleading headlines accuse the DA’s plan of being “soft on crime.”
Here’s what they are missing: https://t.co/tffkVwe0ER

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers made big changes to keep our communities safe. Among them, many district attorney’s offices—including Brooklyn—declined to charge people for low-level offenses.
The result? It did not lead to more crime: https://t.co/rlQ9QTJedi

As prosecutors work to address decades of systemic racism that continue to harm BIPOC communities, the backlash they face today is nothing new.
Rather than giving into the fear-mongering created by traditional power structures, these prosecutors deserve our support.

They can have their day n the sun now but when Trump gets back in ICE is gonna be extremely busy ridding r country of these criminals.Pompeo said if u come to this country illegal u will be deported.⚖️
Huh? Take a look at the cities that do not charge people for theft. How is that working out? They now have large groups going into stores and cleaning off the shelves in minutes. Asinine! These dem DA’s use these non profits to insure their political wins. So sick of what is happening to our country!
Bunch of BULLSHIT !!
Can’t feed the hungry, can’t house the homeless, but they can TAKE AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS for ILLEGALS !!
hmmmm,
Think about this…no money for the American people when covid hit. No money for border wall. Name countries that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their country. Please list all of them
This is criminal! Biden and anyone who approved our tax dollars going to this organization should be in jail.
If some group tried to pull this crap in Russia or China, when it was discovered what they had in mind, they would probably simply disappear. They certainly wouldn’t get $158 million worth of funding.
This is absolutely disgusting, I have never been so disillusioned in all the years I have lived here as an immigrant that came here legally.
Paid taxes raised 6 children who served many years in the Military including my husband, to see what is happening to this country is not only heartbreaking it’s very scary.
How this country is going to recover I don’t have much hope at this point.?
It seems the Left has way too much power and the Republicans are not standing up to these people that are ruining this country.
We have homeless families living on the streets and Veterans yet these Bloody criminal illegals get everything they want.
Crime and Drugs are out of control and the far left think these illegals are a plus to this country, well they are not, the ones that want to come here legally do not stand a chance.
Our communities have become less safe and our schools are overcrowded with illegals that can’t speak a word of English and our kids are not getting the education they need.
This country is going to hell fast and our Allies and Enemies see this.
What a disgusting administration this country has.

This is what the 2 is for
You mean our new Kremlin provides those people with the money to continue their hostile takeover of America
When are Americans going to stop this. The federal government has no right to give our money to this
This is what the 2 is for
Google there is a day of reckons coming And I will get to see what happens to each and everyone of you When God declares he never knew you As the angel Casts you into eternal fire
You may do your wicked censors violating my rights. But I will see you get what is coming to you
Amen sister I hope they see my reply..You keep standing for our Lord..
Aiding and abetting the enemy. The Biden ministration has a lot to be accountable for. American tax dollars should be used for Americans. They are some sad days coming for A lot of folks. This administration is taking money from the American taxpayers so the burden of all of these illegals will be on America and America‘s children for years to come. These people are bringing a different culture into America. This administration expects the American people to turn their heads and except whatever is being forced upon us. The division in America is being brought on by this administration. This is all part of the plan, a nation divided will fall. This is what this administration is banking on.
Be careful what you say on here because you are being censored. What you put on the site can and will be used against you. Regardless of how you feel and most of us feel the very same way these tech companies have a database With everything you say. Half of my post are removed. This is just a warning.
I agree with Sandra Thompson & I wonder who is “connected” to All the different “agencies” receiving Federal Grants & Federal Contracts (Especially when they are quietly kept under the radar)!! IF they were actually Investigated, ties to family members of many of the current administration, elected officials, cartel, etc would be part of them. It’s Too Much Money & Deliberately Not being Bragged About – they don’t let “opportunities” slip by when the effects are this big! Their plan is to destroy America, Our Freedoms, Liberties, Rights, Traditions, History and only a small number of elected officials are Pushing Back!! Add in the destruction they are doing with this virus altered by Humans & the “vaccines” they no doubt “designed” to use for experimental purposes, hence the pushing. When you have the FDA approving drugs & see commercials for them that make ‘HIV, Hep C “Undetectable” in blood tests’, that Boasts they can do what they want!! God Help Us!!
that’s money that could have been given to our homeless our vets our elderly how about paying back the millions and billions of dollars you stole from social security why are taxpayers funding lawlessness
158 million stolen to keep illegal alien parasites in the country to continue to sponge off of us while they drop illegal alien brat after brat. The criminals have been giving out SSN to illegals. What happened to the 3 million green cards BackDoorBarry Soetoro had sent out to the “wrong” people? How many trillions have been wasted on illegals and their anvil brats? 90 million of them squatting in the country and outbreeding citizens. Now we have millions more. When this all flips they had all better be deported.
