Trump administration releases people to shelters it threatened to prosecute for aiding migrants
- In early 2025, the Trump administration has persisted in placing individuals accused of illegal border crossing into nonprofit shelters along the U.S.-Mexico border.

- Shelters like Catholic Charities in Texas closed in April after losing nearly $1 million without FEMA funding, while others such as the Holding Institute and International Rescue Committee continue aiding released migrants.
- ICE releases include people detained two to four weeks after arrests inside the U.S., from countries like India, China, and Pakistan, with sponsors typically family or friends verified by ICE as stated by Homeland Security.
- The situation pressures shelters financially and legally, creating awkward positions despite their amicable relations with federal authorities, and the IRC states it will continue providing essential humanitarian services amid evolving needs.
