This is actually an update of news from Tennessee that I posted at Refugee Resettlement Watch in May with updates in June about the controversial night-flight of Unaccompanied Alien Children (mostly teenagers!) to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
So many posts I write at RRWcould just as easily be posted here at ‘Frauds and Crooks!’
Tennessee suspends shelter license following staffer arrest
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Tennessee officials on Thursday suspended the license of a Chattanooga shelter for immigrant children after one of the employees was arrested following abuse allegations.
The move comes as Tennessee’s top Republican leaders have called for more scrutiny surrounding the shelter. They allege the federal government has not been transparent when pressed about immigrant children moving through the state.
That rhetoric only intensified after Department of Children’s Services Commissioner Jennifer Nichols told lawmakers that in early June during an unannounced inspection of a Chattanooga shelter, a young boy reported he had witnessed “an act that, in our policy, would substantiate and require an investigation” while at the facility.
In a news release, Nichols on Thursday cited the abuse allegation and other issues that had plagued the shelter over the past month as reasons for the suspension.
According to the suspension summary, the department was alerted on June 15 that a 16-year-old boy had “absconded” from the shelter.
A week later, the department was told all the youth had been moved from the facility. On Wednesday, the Chattanooga Police Department announced that a staff member had been arrested and faced criminal charges.
Police officials say 35-year-old Randi Duarte faces charges of sexual battery by an authority figure, coercion of a witness and tampering with evidence. Police received a complaint in late May and worked with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security and the Hamilton County District Attorney’s office to investigate the allegation.
I have thought over the years about the “tender-hearted” women who are often the driving forces behind inviting the world to live in America (like Taylor in Greeley).
Duarte’s arrest reminded me that President Trump, just last week in Ohio, reread “The Snake” during his first rally back on the campaign trail.
The list is long, but the one that caught my interest was HIAS (formerly the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society)and one of nine federal refugee contractors I have been writing about for going on 14 years.
Of those nine (below), HIAS hustlers have been the most political, by far, of the contractors and its head honcho, Mark Hetfield, was out front for four years working to defeat Donald Trump with rallies in the streets and cases in the courts all the while sucking up millions of your tax dollars.
Bezos’ Ex-Wife MacKenzie Scott Donates $2.7B to Fund HIAS, Open Borders Lobby, Pro-Censorship Groups, Racial Justice NGOs
MacKenzie Scott, who received $38 billion from her divorce with Jeff Bezos, is giving leftist NGOs, the open borders lobby and “racial justice” agitators their greatest windfall in history.
Scott on Tuesday released a list of 286 groups she’s giving another $2.7 billion in divorce money to on her blog.
The first which stands out is HIAS, formerly known as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, which works to resettle refugees through America.
They didn’t say how much her donation was but the head of the group [Hetfield] said it “would enable the group to become an emergency responder to refugee crises around the world in addition to a resettlement agency,” eJewishPhilanthropy reported.
HIAS’s latest financial report for 2019 says they had $80 million in total assets and $55 million in net assets.
I’m assuming they probably got a lot more than the $7 million she gave to Repair The World as they’re now planning to go global.
Another notable group on the list is Muslim Advocates, which is basically just a Muslim copy of the Anti-Defamation League that lobbies for internet censorship, mass immigration and hate speech laws.
The top of their website says how they’re suing Facebook for not censoring enough.
Because you may not be a reader at RRW, here is one of the things I have done over the years and that is to check out IRS Form 990sfor the resettlement contractors/political agitators.
Visiting two pages will give you a feel for an organization. First I want to know how much federal money they receive for their ‘religious’ charitable work.
When I first started examining tax documents for non-profits, this information was on page one, but at some point it was moved to page 9 presumably to deter nosey taxpayers from finding it.
Government grants is your involuntary gift from the US Treasury. Some or all of the million in fees is taxpayer money as well.
And here, check out the six-figure salaries the top execs are making.
I call it doing well by doing good. Think about how some staffer for HIAS is making more than a US Senator, Congressman or Supreme Court Justice!
By the way, if you think it is not kosher of me to post salaries I would agree if the business entity was truly a private one, but these government contractors are spending our money so I figure it is fair game.
To learn more about HIAS, check out my extensive archiveat Refugee Resettlement Watch. To be fair, you should know that some of the refugee contractors get many millions more of payola from the feds than does HIAS.
Below are the nine federal refugee contractors that monopolize all resettlement of third world refugees to your towns and cities. They will soon be awash in your money as Harris/Biden say they will admit 125,000 refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East to the US beginning on October first.
The contractors are paid on a per refugee head basis and to a large degree determine which towns and cities will be new resettlement targets.
I was over at Refugee Resettlement Watchyesterday reporting this news which could just as easily have been posted here. Have you noticed! There is a lot of crossover between the US Refugee Admissions Program and our theme here—frauds and crooks!
I’m not sure how many of you who read ‘Frauds and Crooks‘ are also reading my other blog Refugee Resettlement Watch, so I want to direct you to my posts over the last couple of days.
On Monday I reported on the Somali social justice pusher who is campaigning for a seat on the King’s County Council (Seattle) ten years after terrorizing a school bus full of children.
I was reminded of what I saidhereabout Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali asking why would Rep. Ilhan Omar escape Mogadishu and come to America only to turn Minneapolis into the hell hole she left.
Ubax Gardheere apparently wants the same for Seattle!
Contrast those anti-America Somali socialists (Omar and Gardheere) to North Korean defector, and legitimate refugee, Yeonmi Park. After I wrote this post, I heard Park interviewed on Newsmax and she said we must fight for America, to keep it free, because it is the last best hope for humanity.
