This is weird, because I've been assured by MULTIPLE internet randos that our government's ongoing torture of infants is purely a funding issue.
Note: The linked article has been updated to include the following explanation from a former CBP official: "Under the Antideficiency Act, the government can’t spend any money or accept any donations other than what Congress has allocated to it."
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, and the "no funding" explanation for the maltreatment of these kids remains a cruel joke, but yes, it does appear that accepting such donations likely isn't permitted under the law.
