A formal complaint has been lodged with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accusing Catholic Charities of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) by allegedly facilitating the trafficking of illegal immigrants across U.S. borders through food, shelter and transportation services without adequate oversight.
The complaint claims that Catholic Charities' actions, framed as humanitarian aid, have created a system ripe for exploitation, endangering vulnerable populations, including children, and contributing to claims of "300,000 missing children" due to insufficient safeguards.
Critics, including Rachel Masters Yakima and Dr. Janet Smith, argue that Catholic Charities has prioritized federal funding over accountability, allegedly misusing taxpayer dollars intended for lawful refugee assistance and lacking transparency in managing immigration programs.
Migrants have reportedly used addresses linked to Catholic Charities as intended destinations to delay deportation proceedings, as ICE is required to accept any address provided, even if non-residential. Catholic Charities denies involvement but acknowledges the issue, blaming flaws in the immigration system.
The complaint urges a RICO investigation into Catholic Charities and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, while Catholic Charities advocates for immigration system reforms to prevent exploitation and address logistical challenges caused by incorrect addresses.
