Catholic Migrant Facility Under Scrutiny for "Deplorable" Conditions | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Catholic run migrant facility in Pittsburgh is under scrutiny for allegedly forcing children to live in "deplorable" conditions. Internal emails from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Department allege that migrant children staying at Journey of Hope were subject to unsanitary and unsafe conditions. The list of alleged conditions includes, but is not limited to lack of bathing and hygiene, lack of masks and personal protective equipment, unclean facilities and the presence of lice and fecal matter throughout. Journey of Hope is part of the Holy Family Institute, which operates under government contract for the US Citizenship and Immigration Department and Health and Human Services. President of the American Accountability Foundation which filed the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the emails at the center of this report, Thomas Jones, joins to share what tipped him off to this facility and sparked his Freedom of Information request. The emails are from 2021, Jones explains why it took roughly 3 years for this report to surface. He fills us in on whether he has been able to visit the facility to corroborate the allegations. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
