Trump Admin Halts $769 Million Contract to Left-Wing Group

The Trump administration this week ended funding for an immigrant legal group that says the immigration system is “intentionally designed” to exploit minorities and has called for disciplinary action against attorneys and judges who fail to use correct pronouns for illegal aliens during court proceedings.

The Acacia Center for Justice said Tuesday that the Department of the Interior ordered it to “stop all work” on its contract to provide legal services to unaccompanied alien children—those apprehended at the border without parents. Acacia Center is the lead contractor on a $769 million contract to provide the services.

While Acacia Center says its federal programs help illegal aliens navigate the complex immigration and deportation process, it also pushes activist rhetoric about the immigration system, the Washington Free Beacon reported this month.

Acacia Center, launched in 2022, argues that “no immigrant should be detained,” that the use of ankle monitors to track illegal aliens “must be abolished,” and that the use of local law enforcement to carry out immigration enforcement “must be dismantled.”

Acacia Center says the immigration detention and deportation system is “intentionally designed to exploit, exclude, criminalize, detain, and deport” people deemed to be “undeserving of inclusion in our national fabric, particularly Black and brown people.”
