DHS Secretary Kristi Noem halts grant funding to NGOs caught facilitating illegal immigration
By Lance D Johnson // Jan 31, 2025

  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem halts all grant funding to NGOs aiding illegal migrants.
  • Review to last 90 days to ensure taxpayer dollars are used for border security.
  • Under the Biden regime, NGOs misused millions in federal funds to incentivize illegal crossings.
  • Noem aims to enforce President Trump’s promises on border security and deportation.

Noem cuts off funds to NGOs facilitating illegal invasion

In a move that sent shockwaves through the progressive community, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday that all grant funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) facilitating illegal immigration has been halted. The decision, made public during an interview on Fox News’s Will Cain Show, comes in the wake of recent accusations that these NGOs have been misusing millions of taxpayer dollars to incentivize illegal crossings into the United States.

Noem’s remarks underscored deep concerns about the misuse of federal funds. “It’s amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country,” she told Cain. “So, I’ve taken action to stop those funds, to reevaluate them, and to make sure that we’re actually using the taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country that keeps us safe.”

The 90-Day review and its implications

The halt in funding will be followed by a 90-day review, during which Noem’s department will reevaluate the utilization of the funds previously allocated to these organizations. The secretary emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in government spending, stating, “I think people are curious when we look at grants that are given out by federal agencies at how they’re utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done.”

The decision to suspend funding is not without precedent. In 2023, NewsNation reported that NGOs were using federal dollars to move illegal immigrants around the country and that the Biden administration’s DHS had failed to keep track of which groups were receiving money and how the funds were being spent. This lack of oversight, critics argue, has enabled NGOs to exploit their status for political gain, acting as magnets for illegal border crossings.

Texas Congressman’s Lance Gooden weighs in

Texas Republican Lance Gooden provided a detailed explanation of his opposition to funding NGOs that cater to illegal migrants. In a statement posted on his congressional website, Gooden wrote, “These organizations, understanding the benefits of NGO status, have been exploiting the humanitarian banner to incentivize illegal immigration across our borders. They receive taxpayer dollars to house, feed, and transport illegal immigrants across the United States. Their services act as a magnet for illegal immigrants looking to enter our country.”

Gooden’s concerns are shared by many in Congress who view such practices as undermining the efforts of individuals who have gone through the legal process to immigrate into the United States. “When NGOs enable illegal border crossings, they create avenues that can be exploited by individuals who pose a risk to our security,” he added, concluding, “This practice undermines the efforts of countless individuals who’ve gone through the legal process to immigrate into our country.”

Noem’s decision marks a significant shift in the administration’s approach to addressing illegal immigration. By halting funding to NGOs accused of facilitating illegal crossings, the DHS chief is taking a bold step towards enforcing President Trump’s promises on border security and deportation. The 90-day review will undoubtedly shed light on the misuse of federal funds and provide a roadmap for more effective and accountable government spending. In a time when security and accountability are paramount, the actions of Kristi Noem serve as a clarion call to action, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used to strengthen and protect the nation.
