The U.S. Justice Department is under fire after a whistleblower complaint revealed that the DOJ's anti-human trafficking grant program gave over $1 million to Hookers for Jesus and the Lincoln Tubman Foundation rather than recommended organizations.

The Department of Justice is under fire after a whistleblower complaint revealed that the department had given over $1 million in anti-human trafficking grants to two groups, Hookers for Jesus and the Lincoln Tubman Foundation, rather than highly recommended, established groups.

A September 12 internal DOJ memo recommended that the grant money go to the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach and Chicanos Por La Causa of Phoenix, according to an. The recommendations were based on reviews from outside contractors. Instead, the grant money went to two organizations the contractors gave lower ratings: Hookers for Jesus and the Lincoln Tubman Foundation.

The funding decision was made in order to"distribute funding across as many states as possible," according to a September 23 memo obtained by Reuters. Head of the Office of Justice Programs, Katharine Sullivan, approved the decision, telling Reuters,"Our funding decisions are based on a merit-based review system."

Hookers for Jesus is a Christian organization founded by former sex worker and sex trafficking victim Annie Lobert in 2007. The organization operates Destiny House, a one-year safehouse program for sex-trafficking victims and women who want to leave sex work, as well as a number of other outreach programs.

The Department of Justice is the subject of a new whistleblower complaint that alleges the DOJ gave over $1 million in grant money to less-established organizations.Lobert's organization, which was given $530,190 over three years, is controversial due to its strict rules in the safehouse, banning"secular magazines with articles, pictures, etc.
