Catholic Charities Maine, one of three refugee resettlement agencies in the state, announced last week that it plans to close its Bangor area refugee services office in response to cuts to federal funding and policy changes by the Trump administration.
The nonprofit says it will close its Greater Bangor Refugee & Immigration Services (RIS) office on June 30, 2025.

The decision to close the office stems from the Trump administration’s suspension of refugee resettlement, the loss of federal funding, and Greater Bangor being the area with the smallest concentration of the resettlement agencies clients, Catholic Charities Maine said in a Friday press release.
The closure of the refugee resettlement office will not effect the nonprofit’s other programs that operate out of their Greater Bangor location, they said.
“The Greater Bangor community has been welcoming and supportive of refugees and it is because of this that we trust our clients who have resettled here will continue to thrive,” said Catholic Charities Maine CEO Stephen Letourneau.
“I cannot thank our community partners enough for their support over these past 2 and a half years. Together we have witnessed the positive impact our new arrivals have made here, and I know greater Bangor has certainly benefited,” Letourneau said.
Catholic Charities Maine said last fall that they anticipated settling 150 migrants into a 100-mile radius around Bangor in fiscal year 2025.
However, the nonprofit now says that they have had no new arrivals since January 13, and have completed their 90-day resettlement services for all their existing clients.

Mill’s will most likely sue.
Hiding in plain sight. These marxist thugs hiding behind the robe of the Catholic Charity is particularly disgusting human behavior. Let us victimize any group we can find to $indoctrinate$ into our ideological propaganda and launder trainloads of OTHER PEOPLE’$ MONEY into our greedy paws and VIRTUE SIGNAL. how kind and loving our enabling is for the unwashed masses. Oh pleeeeze!
Wait a dam minute. Are church-based programs closing due to a lack of federal funding? What happened to the first Amendment? My church can’t get a federal grant but the Catholics can? That is discrimination at its very core and a violation of the 1st Amendment’s separation of church and state. Is it not?
Quite basically they were human traffickers who dumped thousands of illegals into the schools and on to the welfare rolls of communities without their say so.
Just an NGO scam, Happy

The only legitimate asylum seekers are Mexican or Canadian citizens. All other foreign nationals breaching our borders are illegal aliens/bogus asylum seekers/invaders.
Aiding and abetting the invasion of our homeland is TREASON !
Took them 3 months of standing around and no new illegals and no more $ for standing around to finally say hmmm…. Maybe we’re done here
Good! All those in this charity scam need to go to hell along with that pervert pope Francis.
Catholic Charities Maine…how much of their funding comes from federal or other grants vs. from Catholic donations? You’ll be surprised
