US: No taxpayer dollars will be used to provide care, shelter for illegal aliens – HUD Secretary

Published on April 05, 2025 at 05:21 AM

The United States of America Secretary of Department of Housing and Urban Development, Scott Turner, has declared that no taxpayer' dollars will go to organisations that support, house, shelter, or provide care to illegal aliens.

He disclosed this in a statement on X, Friday.

Turner said his comment is in line with President Donald Trump's executive order on February 19, 2025, ending taxpayer subsidisation of open borders to promote the rule of law and prevent American taxpayer dollars from being spent on federal assistance for illegal aliens.

“I want to make it crystal clear — no taxpayer dollars will be given to organisations that support, house, shelter, or provide care to illegal aliens who broke the law,” he wrote on X.

The HUD Secretary further stressed in a letter signed on Friday to grantees and stakeholders that officials of the department have been directed to review all programmes to comply with Trump's executive order.

“Recently, I directed HUD senior leadership to review our programmes and institute mechanisms that can ensure that HUD programmes are compliant with President Trump's Executive Order. For example, going forward, grant agreements will include language that will require compliance with Executive Order 14218, and the department will take steps to ensure that federal resources are not used to support “sanctuary” policies of state and local jurisdictions that actively prevent federal authorities from deporting illegal aliens,” the letter partly reads.
