A Fort Worth, Texas church has been given control of nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer funds to dole out cash to border crossers and has given tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to Soros-funded organizations.
In 2021 Catholic Charities of Fort Worth (CCFW), the primary charity arm of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, began a somewhat unique relationship with the Biden-Harris Administration and with HHS Secretary Xavier Beccera. Under the arrangement, all federal grants for the State of Texas regarding cash payments to “refugees” would be given to the charity, with CCFW receiving discretion over who the money was handed out to[1]. CCFW established the Texas Office for Refugees (TOR) to handle all of the grants. Since 2022, they have received over $800 million from the Biden-Harris Administration.[2]
Who did CCFW give these funds to? According to their 2022 Form 990, they gave over $25 million in that year alone to the International Rescue Committee[3], an international immigration nonprofit. The IRC, which already receives over $1 billion a year[4] – a majority of that directly from the Biden-Harris Administration[5] – is funded in part by George Soros and Bill Gates[6], with the express purpose of helping immigrants “become permanent residents and US citizens.”[7] The IRC claims to “help over 50,000” immigrants yearly, and their website claims to have settled over 26,000 in Dallas alone.[8]
