Over three quarters of a billion US tax dollars went to an organization where the raison d’etre is to keep illegals from being detained. So directly at odds with the wishes of the American people.
The Acacia Center for Justice (seriously):
is one of the largest federal immigration contractors, overseeing a $769 million program that provides lawyers for unaccompanied alien children and adults in immigration court hearings and deportation proceedings.
The group says its aim is to provide due process rights for illegal aliens. But it also calls for a radical upheaval of the immigration and deportation system—goals that are starkly at odds with the Trump administration’s objectives.
Launched in 2022, Acacia Center argues that “no immigrant should be detained” and that electronic surveillance to track illegal aliens “must be abolished.” According to the center, “the use of local law enforcement for immigration purposes … must be dismantled.”
They were also apparently setting policy for the government agencies that were supposed to be overseeing them. Nice turn of tables:
In a report last June, Acacia Center recommended that the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Department of Justice subagency that handles immigration cases, implement “gender affirming language in immigration court.” Acacia Center demanded that immigration lawyers and judges use correct pronouns for illegal aliens and said that “repeated conduct that fails to affirm gender identity for noncitizens” is a violation of federal anti-discrimination laws.
I’m not seeing why our tax dollars should go to places like this. Due process is for people who are under the jurisdiction of our government, not those who snuck in.
