More than 80 employees at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami are set to lose their jobs after the Trump administration terminated an $11 million federal contract that funded a long-running shelter for unaccompanied migrant children.
The layoffs stem from the closure of the Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh Children's Village, a Miami-Dade facility that has housed minors arriving in the United States without parents or legal guardians. The job cuts, detailed in a filing under the Florida Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act reported by the Miami New Times, are expected to take effect May 31, 2026.
