Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has announced that the Trump administration has put an end to the taxpayer funding of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who help facilitate the illegal alien invasion of the United States.
To be clear, these NGOs exist to subvert U.S. immigration law at every step of the process—actively transporting migrants into the country, fighting enforcement efforts at the border, resettling migrants in American towns and cities, and lobbying for open border policies in D.C. pic.twitter.com/ZYMjlIcDMq

During a live Fox News interview on January 29, Noem broke the news that the Trump administration had ended grant funding for NGOs who deliberately help illegal aliens enter the country.
“Today we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that’s being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country,” Noem explained, noting that the U.S. government has sent “hundreds of millions” of American taxpayer dollars to NGOs who directly undermine the sovereignty of the U.S. and undermine the will of the people.
“So I’ve taken action to stop that, 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,” she added.
Noem went on to point out that an evaluation of this spending is extremely necessary in order to ensure that “we’re not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country.”
“We’re gonna make sure that we follow through on what President Trump has promised and that’s to make sure that we’re securing our border, deporting those what are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and that our taxpayer dollars aren’t spent to help it,” she added.
Fox News host Will Cain then highlighted the fact that the American people have spent more than $380 million on funding NGOs just in 2024 for the shelter and services program, while also sending millions to so-called religious nonprofits that aid in illegal immigration.
Defund Catholic Charities and every other NGO that cashes government checks to help foreigners game our immigration laws. Direct this money to homeless Americans and veteran care.
No more Big Immigration graft. End it once and for all. https://t.co/kPVZUHaso9

Noem proceeded to note that “the Department of Homeland Security, we have stopped spending those dollars to fund those NGOs” adding that “what’s been so revealing is that many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico on that side of the border that are telling those illegal immigrants to come to them and they will get them across the border. So, they’re not just operating in the United States.”
The former South Dakota governor also recalled that “years ago,” if she heard someone mention NGOs, she would think “that’s amazing, that’s a nonprofit that’s out there telling somebody about Jesus or spreading faith and salvation or doing good work and charitable work helping people that are less fortunate.”
“And then I realized over the years it’s been perverted into this shadow government and NGO is sometimes an operation that does things that the government cannot do, can’t legally do,” Noem added. “So, they create an entity to use government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that the federal government isn’t allowed to do.”
