WASHINGTON (RNS) — Conservative political action committee CatholicVote is suing President Joe Biden’s administration in an effort to secure records of communication between the U.S. government and Catholic groups in regard to two hot-button issues: humanitarian aid at the Southern border and recent abortion debates.

Using a pair of lawsuits, both filed Friday (Feb. 4), the PAC aims to force the government to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by CatholicVote in September. The first suit is focused on government-supported humanitarian efforts at the border between the U.S. and Mexico in Texas, where an array of Catholic groups have long offered assistance to immigrants.

The second concerns communication between government officials and a number of Catholic leaders related to two controversial abortion laws in Texas and Mississippi.
CatholicVote, which has no formal ties to the Catholic Church, discussed the first lawsuit in a message to supporters this week.

“We want to know: What role are Catholic charities, dioceses, or Catholic-affiliated relief organizations playing in this effort?” the email read. “Are they helping house migrants in homes, hotels, or shelters? Are they paying for transportation, flights, buses, or other services — with government money?”

The email added: “Is what they are doing legal? And is it the right thing to do?”
