(Baltimore, MD) January 25, 2025 – Late on Friday, World Relief received a notice from our longtime governmental partner, the U.S. Department of State, instructing us to “stop all work” under the grant agreement that provides initial resettlement support to newly arrived refugees for the first several months of their lives in the United States.

Early on Saturday, we received a similar notice impacting lifesaving programs that World Relief carries out internationally in partnership with local church partners through an agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Both “stop orders” cite the legal authority of President Trump’s recent Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid.

World Relief is seeking more clarity from our governmental partners on precisely what these instructions mean — and we hope that there may be some misunderstanding and possibility of reconsideration — but we are deeply grieved by the profound harm that these abrupt mandates seem likely to have on vulnerable people who have already endured profound crises.

“We’re heartbroken by these abrupt decisions when we consider the impacts on some of the most vulnerable individuals in the United States and around the World,” said Myal Greene, president and CEO of World Relief. “Among those affected are refugees who have already been lawfully resettled in recent weeks to communities throughout our country, for whom our government has committed to help fund initial housing, food, and other vital integration support to help them become economically self-sufficient. Beyond the U.S., this ‘stop order’ will harm many who rely upon U.S.-funded humanitarian assistance for people facing conflict, hunger, health crises and lack of access to water and sanitation.”

It means 'Go the fuck back where you came from and take your Jesuit credit cards with you". AmericanKulak says

It doesn't seem that anybody considered making them walk through quicksand at the Darien Gap and transporting them to our borders impacted these 'vulnerable' people.

Faith Based Initiatives were sold as "Jimmy is going to get job training after his alcohol rehab"

When it's more "Get Guadeloupe, a 'refugee' fleeing a hurricane or earthquake that happened 5 years ago, across the border, with a beater car, EBT, and Medicaid for her 5-foot and 200lb big middle aged Latina ass with her 2 teenage face-tattoo gangster sons"

Now you know what Biden’s flights were about.
