Refugee agency it funds, by Ann CorcoranUS State Department not yet concerned about sexual harassment allegations involving re 2/20/18
That
is what Breitbart’s Michael Patrick Leahy is reporting
about his efforts to get an answer from the major funding source for the nine
federal contractors hired by State for the US Refugee Admissions Program.
Leahy’s story is entitled: U.S. Government Continues to Fund Refugee
Resettlement NGO Whose Funding Has Been Frozen by the U.K. (We
reported on the mess the International
Refugee Committee is
in with its British funding, here.)
Miliband and Soros in 2013. “The
IRC is one of the charities closely-linked to George Soros’s push to drive
aliens into European Union (EU) nations.”
Here
is some of what Leahy is reporting after
attempting to get something definitive from the State Department:
The government of the United Kingdom has frozen all payments to the
International Rescue Committee (IRC), one of the largest non-profit refugee
resettlement agencies in the world, pending the outcome of an investigation
into allegations of “sexual harassment and fraud” in the organization.
As
one of the nine voluntary agencies (VOLAGs) that have for decades received
about $1 billion annually from the U.S. federal government, the IRC is also
heavily funded by American taxpayers.
The
IRC is the third VOLAG in the last six months to come under scrutiny for
questions surrounding its leadership and management.
The
management and leadership of former U.K. Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who
has served as CEO of the IRC since 2013 and receives an annual salary of
$671,000, is now under serious question, and his ability to maintain his
current job is uncertain.
The State Department offered no indication that it intends to stop
funding the IRC, despite the actions of the U.K government when asked
specifically by Breitbart News if the U.S. government currently has plans to
immediately stop making payments to the IRC to conduct refugee resettlement
operations in the United States.
“The
Department of State takes very seriously the prevention and response of all
accusations of sexual exploitation and abuse,” a State Department spokesperson
told Breitbart News when asked if the U.S. government intends to follow the
lead of the U.K. government in suspending payments to the IRC pending the
results of an investigation.
The State Department has not responded to this follow up question from
Breitbart News: Now that the allegations of abuse against the IRC have been
brought to the State Department’s attention, what specifically is the State
Department doing to ensure the IRC is taking the necessary steps to address the
issue appropriately?

Quick,
someone tell the IRC’s new partner—Sesame Street!

If
the IRC does have any government funds frozen, even temporarily, it will be a
blow to their subcontractors (working in cities below) that are wholly
dependent on the IRC mothership in Manhattan. (IRC

percentage of their income paid by you (the taxpayer) to place the
refugees and get them signed up for their services (aka
welfare)! From
