'No Immigrant Should Be Detained,' Says Left-Wing Nonprofit With $769 Million Federal Immigration Contract

The Acacia Center for Justice, based in Washington, D. C. , is a large federal immigration contractor managing a $769 million program that provides legal assistance to unaccompanied children and adults in immigration court. The group opposes the Trump administration's immigration policies, claiming the system is designed to exploit and discriminate against Black and brown individuals. Acacia Center advocates against detention and electronic surveillance for illegal immigrants, seeking to dismantle local law enforcement's role in immigration enforcement.

The center's stance directly contrasts with the Trump administration's plans to increase deportations and reduce funding to sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Acacia argues for "gender affirming language" in immigration courts and insists that failure to use correct pronouns violates federal anti-discrimination laws.

Parker Thayer, a senior analyst at the Capital Research Center, responded critically, stating it is unreasonable for the government to fund an organization that opposes its policies. Recently, the administration imposed a funding freeze on some of Acacia's programs, but its primary contract for legal services remains unaffected.

Mike Corradini, deputy chief of programs at Acacia, emphasized the importance of ensuring due process rights for immigrants. The group is prepared to collaborate with the Department of Justice to restore essential services despite ongoing policy disagreements, asserting that they fight for justice for all.

Acacia's executive director, Shaina Aber, stated that election results will not erase the nation’s multicultural identity and reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring due process protections. Acacia Center is a spinoff of the Vera Institute of Justice, which has previously advocated for defunding police and abolishing immigration enforcement. Vera Institute no longer receives federal immigration contracts but has obtained significant funding for other justice-related initiatives under the Biden administration.

In summary, the Acacia Center for Justice is working against Trump-era immigration policies, advocating for the rights of immigrants and claiming the system discriminates against certain groups. Its contrasting views and actions put its funding at risk under the current administration, but the organization remains committed to its goals of due process and justice for immigrants.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
