Starting last year, the Biden administration began doling out huge chunks of taxpayer money to a radical left-wing nonprofit organization for the specific purpose of helping illegal immigrant minors avoid deportation.
"While the federal government often engages in the contracting and funding of nonprofits, they typically try to avoid dealing with overtly political institutions. Not this time," wrote Adam Andrzejewski, CEO and founder of government watchdog group Open the Books.
What are the details?
Andrzejewski's organization reported that in March 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services entered into a $158 million contract with the Vera Institute of Justice to "provide immigration related legal services to unaccompanied minors."
According to USASpending.gov, a federal contract database, the agreement was upped to $164 million early this year and has the potential to climb to $198.5 million by the time it is set to expire in March 2022.
In addition to funding from the HHS, the institute also received five additional contracts totaling $36.8 million from the Department of Justice to provide legal services for family groups, unaccompanied children's custodians, and the "immigration court help desk," Just the News reported.
