The Trump administration is quietly authorizing millions of dollars in refugee resettlement funding, including to organizations operating at the center of the illegal immigration crisis.
According to Federal Register notices published on September 22, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement intends to award nearly seven million dollars in replacement grants to two nonprofit organizations involved in refugee case management and integration services. One of those awards directs more than two and a half million dollars to a St. Paul based organization operating in Minnesota, the focal point of the Somali fraud investigations.
The ORR states that it intends to issue a replacement award in the amount of up to $2,556,173 to Community Sponsorship Hub in St. Paul, Minnesota. The notice explains that the organization will “provide intensive case management services to eligible populations” through the ORR’s “Preferred Communities” program.
Set to run from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026, the grant can be read in full here:
