Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is facing massive cuts after President Trump slashed federal funding, leading to layoffs and program cancellations. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is also downsizing due to cost-cutting measures and mismanagement issues. Both organizations are impacted by changes in U.S. policy on migration.
