HIAS Refugee Resettlement, Federal Funding Dispute
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is suing the Trump administration over the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. HIAS President Mark Hetfield argues the freeze is a "dismantlement" of a system established in 1980. While HIAS claims to be a faith-based non-profit, tax filings show the organization received $128 million in 2023, with significant portions going toward executive salaries, leading to accusations that resettlement is a "giant scam" funded by taxpayers.
