The Donald Trump administration has terminated an $11 million federal contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami.
The development ended a long-running arrangement to shelter unaccompanied migrant children, giving the agency just three months to relocate those in its care.
The decision was communicated in late March by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, according to a report by the Miami Herald on April 15.
The exact number of children affected has not been disclosed.
The move is part of a broader immigration crackdown that has also seen the administration cut ties with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, ending a decades-long collaboration on refugee resettlement.
For years, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, under the US Department of Health and Human Services, had relied on Catholic Charities to house migrant children arriving in the U.S. without parents or guardians—effectively operating a federally funded foster care system alongside state-run services.
