Once Again, the GOVERNMENT is Funding Insurrection

DOGE needs to put this in reports that can be understood by the average person

I found this link on Instapundit, about the LA immigration riots (it’s pretty much my go-to news aggregator). Here is the gist of it:

The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests. One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens. CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration—for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018.

…according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California. That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA’s funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security. Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.

With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA’s contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February. CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29. This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal. To sum up how this works: Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government’s lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding. This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.

My apologies to Lauren Powell for the lengthy quote - I do so, become some of you still don’t have X. I know Musk and Trump have broken ties, but X is still the best social media for reaching people who don’t toe the Leftist Line.

Please consider getting X, at least as a free account. I’m planning to upgrade to a Paid Subscription; likely the mid-range price of a Premium account. For me, it may be worth the features offered. Without an X account, you will be missing much of the news story. The enhanced features of X paid accounts, by permitting longer posts and other features, are fast changing the media world.
