(The National Pulse)—President Donald J. Trump has suspended funding initially allocated to a New York nonprofit by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the former Biden government. Catholic Migration Services (CMS) was set to receive over $293,000 to provide naturalization services for immigrants. The grant, effective November 22, 2024, was intended to extend until September 2026.
CMS, which offers a range of services beyond naturalization, provides free legal assistance—including deportation defense—to illegal immigrants in New York. The mission statement of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) emphasizes that it aims to “advance equality and social justice in a changing and diverse population.” Notably, CMS operates four legal divisions, including Removal Defense and Naturalization teams—aimed at supporting illegal immigrants facing legal proceedings.
“CMS previously shared federal funding with other nonprofits to help lawful permanent residents become citizens. However, the Department of Homeland Security has recently frozen this program,” CMS said in response to the funding suspension. The group added: “In addition to offering various civil legal services to low-income New Yorkers, CMS also assists immigrants who have valid legal claims in removal proceedings.”
The funding suspension comes as the Trump administration aims to curb financial support to nonprofits that promote mass immigration. CMS has criticized the Trump administration for its immigration policies, which they claim instill fear within immigrant communities. The organization describes these policies as an “assault on immigrant communities.”
In previous funding allocations, the Biden government had also provided $1.2 million to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, an organization focused on changing the U.S. immigration enforcement system. Both CMS and similar groups aim to naturalize migrants and encourage political participation, potentially influencing electoral outcomes.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
