DOJ probing largest operator of migrant children shelters: report

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly investigating Southwest Key Programs, the nation’s largest operator of shelters for migrant children, of possible misuse of federal funds, according to The New York Times.

The Austin-based nonprofit charity operates 24 shelters to house migrant children who arrive in the U.S. on their own or who were separated from their families.

The United States attorney’s office for the Western District of Texas, in conjunction with the FBI, is examining its finances and whether it improperly spent federal money, according to The Times.
