This is bad news, but not surprising.
I will let the article speak for itself...
The following article is from gatewayhispanic.com and written by Joana Campos BREAKING NEWS: Catholic Charities Reported to DOJ for Alleged Trafficking of Illegals Under RICO Law. - Gateway Hispanic
"A formal complaint has been filed with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) against Catholic Charities, accusing the organization of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) through alleged involvement in facilitating illegal immigration.
The complaint, first brought to public attention by journalist Jack Posobiec via a post on X, claims that Catholic Charities, a prominent Catholic nonprofit and recipient of substantial federal funding, has engaged in activities that amount to trafficking undocumented immigrants across US borders.
The filing invokes RICO, a statute traditionally used to combat organized crime, alleging a pattern of racketeering activity tied to the organization's immigration-related operations.
The complaint specifically accuses Catholic Charities of receiving “billions of dollars” in government grants to resettle immigrants and refugees, funds that critics say have been misused to support illegal immigration rather than lawful humanitarian efforts.
It asserts that the organization has knowingly facilitated the transportation and resettlement of undocumented individuals, potentially in violation of federal immigration laws. Critics cited in the complaint, including activists Rachel Masters Yakima and Dr. Janet Smith, have escalated the allegations by linking these activities to broader negligence, pointing to the claim of "300,000 missing children" as evidence of inadequate oversight and protection of vulnerable populations.
In separate letters addressed to JD Vince and President Trump, Yakima and Smith demanded a RICO investigation not only into Catholic Charities but also into the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, accusing the Church-affiliated group of prioritizing funding over accountability, with Smith and Yakima stating, "They just say, 'Trust us,'" in reference to the organization's assurances of compliance.
The allegations build on longstanding criticism from Republican legislators and conservative media outlets, who have accused Catholic Charities of encouraging illegal immigration by providing humanitarian aid—such as food, shelter, and transportation—to migrants at the southern border.
The complaint contains that these actions, funded by federal dollars, go beyond charity and actively enable undocumented individuals to enter and remain in the US illegally, constituting a breach of immigration statutes.
It further alleges that Catholic Charities' leadership has been aware of these violations but has continued the practices as part of a systemic operation, a key element required to substantiate a RICO charge.
As of now, the DOJ has not issued an official statement regarding the complaint, leaving uncertainty about whether it will launch a formal investigation or pursue charges under RICO.
The law requires evidence of a coordinated enterprise engaging in illegal acts over time, and the complaint's success may hinge on proving that Catholic Charities' immigration activities meet this threshold.
For its part, the organization has yet to publicly respond to the specifics of the filing, although it has historically defended its mission as one of aiding the vulnerable within legal bounds."
