An announcement in church this a.m., that "the government has issued a cease and desist order to Global Refuge, formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services." How can the government issue a cease and desist order to a charity???? I thought I could find out via Google or Google News, but no luck.
Global Refuge is a big f&&$%^&ing deal.

(35,885 posts)Trump put an immediate halt on federal funds funds going to any of these charities - and on the use of funds already received. It impacts about 30,000 refugees already in this country (since Oct 1).
