Guess Who's Funding the Riots? You Are, Of Course!

Rioters in LA now throwing fireworks at police horses.

Laura Powell reports that the federal and California government are funding anti-American terrorist group's riots.

EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles.

Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens. These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.
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.
Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network's hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of "men in military garb." LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN's hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.
During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her "brother," highlighting CHIRLA's close ties to organized labor in California. Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only "witnessing" the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.
For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, "We will not stand for this" and "No vamos a permitir estas acciones," ("We are not going to permit these actions"). She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA's programs. That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources.
In fact, 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.

The California state government is also funding CHIRLA and other street terrorism groups.

@LauraPowellEsq
If you are a Californian, the current LA riots are an example of your tax dollars hard at work.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right--CHIRLA--is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions. It's an LA-based nonprofit with a history of taking radical positions on immigration; for example, it led a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond.
CHIRLA has strong ties to the Democrat Party in California and has supported the election of Democratic candidates through its lobbying arm. It has a particularly close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The organization also has a close relationship with organized labor in the state, which in turn is a major financial supporter of Democrat politicians. On Friday, amid rising tensions, CHIRLA held a rally protesting ICE's enforcement actions and the arrest of SEIU President David Huerta for obstruction.
The incredible part is that CHIRLA's activities are primarily funded by California taxpayers. I obtained a financial audit that shows that for the fiscal year ending June 2023, it received $34 million from the state, mostly through the Department of Social Services, accounting for 72% of its total revenue. This was nearly a three-fold increase over the previous year.
CHIRLA also received a $450,000 federal contract in 2023, which Mayor Bass publicly took credit for helping secure. DHS froze funding in February, which prompted a lawsuit from CHIRLA. DHA then canceled the contract, and the lawsuit was then dismissed.
Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex--now we face a nonprofit-industrial complex.

INSURRECTION: Why is the former Managing Director of Blackrock and the President of the Teachers Union organizing a nationwide protest during the Army's celebration of its 250th birthday? Morris Pearl and Randi Weingarten are part of coalition of 200 far-left NGOs planning a so-called nationwide day of defiance on June 14th. Strange bedfellows indeed. With USAID funding no longer available and ActBlue effectively neutered Democrat NGOs are panicking and hope a nationwide protest can captures the hearts, minds, and most importantly the wallets of millions of Democrat donors.

I believe that one-third figure may have been correct thru...2010ish?

And then at some point the leftist hellhole leaders figured out if they could just control the vote-counting and vote-reporting, they no longer had to actually "fix the potholes" figuratively speaking. As that realization spread, I'm guessing the rate of grift has approached perhaps 80 percent or more of all government spending.

96 Guard call up is invalid- they can be held personally responsible. The Governor's office states the call into Federal service of members of the State's National Guard was not issued through the State's Governor -- as required by federal law -- nor was it transmitted to, nor approved or ordered by.

Gavin needs to communicate this directly to those soldiers. Watch them melt into the scenery.

I recommend the protestors print that and hand them out to the National Guards.

Trump is losing lots of court cases. Yes, he has been allowed to get away with a lot but he is being called out on everything now. If Trump completely ignores the courts he needs the military to support that. We are now in a battle for the hearts and minds of the guys with the guns.

So far, I've only seen LA police roughing up anyone. In fact, other than National Guard around detention center, not sure Guard has been involved in anything.

In any event, the immigrants -- missing a paper or two who are likely hiding at home -- are the ones who'll get hurt out of all this.

They really think this because they do not know how the courts work. They think a temporary restraining order = loss. They think the 9-0 court order for the judge to narrow his order and make it specific was a repudiation of Trump that he is ignoring.

Under the Insurrection Act, I think the above funding constitutes an "unlawful combination" to obstruct federal law, even state law.

Sec 252 and 253 apply. Sec. 253 contains "shall" instead of "may", which implies POTUS is obligated to restore order when state authority is unwilling or unable to act to do so.

Long as they're peaceable. Long as they just chant their slogans about wanting Americans to be raped and murdered and forced to pay for the privilege because they believe that they won't be personally impacted... that's their right.

OTOH, it's been too long since protesters were shown what happens to folks who aren't peaceable. Or maybe are just standing a bit too close to folks who aren't peaceable. Seems like time for an education.

These things are highly regionally dependent, I would guess that astronomical costs in Cali are almost exclusively due to government policy rearing it's ugly head.

166 Trump is losing lots of court cases

They really think this because they do not know how the courts work. They think a temporary restraining order = loss. They think the 9-0 court order for the judge to narrow his order and make it specific was a repudiation of Trump that he is ignoring.

They have no idea. They found a state senator that was funneling all these cases to anti-Trump judges.

So, judges may publicly pretend that it's just "The Court", but the Machine underneath knows.

While you can ask for anything you want, realistically the most you can get for a house is relative to what the comps are going for in your vicinity and the relative status of your neighborhood.

There is such a thing as over-improving.

I saw one house which was a McMansion surrounded by a sea of sh*t boxes that sold for well under what the flipper wanted for it.

It was pivotal because it made California even more glamorous than it had been before.

Reagan had nothing to do with it. Jerry Brown was elected governor in 1975, only the second or third Democrat governor in California history, with the preceding being his father (who was actually a good governor, unlike Jerry).

Things are "possible" when there is a force that has the potential to manifest that thing. "Poss" is literally power.

What atheists mean is "not decided". There's no magical possibility in that, it's just we don't know whether that's in the universe or not.

A people significantly smart enough to not need the Bible as a reference, is not in the "potential" of man simple because we do not know that it is not. That implication employs an argumentum ad ignoratium structure.

A conservative looks at a thing that has manifested and has worked and said "this will work".

So simply because it's theoretical that we "don't need the Bible", doesn't mean that it is inevitable that humanity can be coordinated among similar principles without it.

Bottom line: Read Revelation. We initially lose, and the forces of darkness get to establish their world wide government. This period is simply the blow struck to one of the heads of the beast. Christ said that the generation which was alive when Israel was reformed will not pass from the Earth before these events occur. Israel was reformed in April of 1948, 77 years ago. I was born 2 weeks before that. Hard to see how anything can keep going much beyond 2068.

I get it, you are not the sort that backs down or says "OK maybe I got it wrong." Trump is the same way, I can live with that. But words are kind of my life and work so it matters a lot to me.

And look around you. We are REQUIRED to pay for all kinds of things. Nothing is free. I have to pay to eat, and I'll starve without it. I'll die exposed to the winter wet and cold, I have to pay for heat and shelter. I'm not gonna call that unfair, I call that part of life. When I pay for my sammich at the restaurant, that's money going for someone else's life and health. Is that unjust? Unfair?

Richard Grenell retweeted @carldemaio . 2h

Gavin Newsom and CA Democrats just released a budget that cuts law enforcement and gives those funds to groups behind the violent LA riots!

313 Did California pass that bill which allows votes up to two weeks after the election?

With that and the ballot harvesting & curing operations they'll never lose statewide or the legislature, and most of their Congress people.

314 And reverse ... Reagan also made government bigger. Just like everyone before and after him.

Reagan is a big part of the problem ... because the generations that revere him don't see his part of the problem. They still say shit like "if only Reagan knew".

Hence, part of the problem.

We get it, dude. You hate Reagan. Worst of all, he wasn’t Mike Armstrong. That is far and away his biggest crime.

316 26 When I saw this on Twixxer, I almost wept. How many years have we all been calling for someone, ANYONE to dig into this stuff? How long have we been waiting for JUST ONE DAMNED REPORTER to dig into where all this stuff is coming from?

Finally.... finally. Whether anything will come from it, who knows. But finally.

This was not dug up by a reporter... but an online data miner...

Reporters are still battin Zero.

'The same Norm Eisen who was at the entire lawfare project against Trump from the start'

Is there any chance this guy hasn't committed a federal crime of some kind? Prosecute him.

319 334 Reagan wasn’t perfect, but there’s a reason even the Germans placed a statue of him in front of the U.S. Embassy in Berlin.

If somebody paid half my bills ? I'd at least put a Garden Gnome out for them.
Posted by: Mike Armstrong at June 09, 2025 07:43 PM (TAMKE)

Well, you just played yourself. No, we do not pay for half of Germany’s bills. Care to explain Poland, and why your divine object of hatred was similarly honored there? Last I checked in the 1980s, Poland was in the Soviet sphere.

You’ll continue to preen about how morally and intellectually superior to everyone else on earth until we admit you are morally and intellectually superior to everyone else on earth.

Its really simple. The amount of American Taxpayer money owed to either equals "0".

Although, if you like Germany or Poland ? I'm sure you can send them a check.

You refuse to answer my question. I will take that as a victory. And that you are wanting America to be so isolationist it will make Hoxha’s Albania look like a model of openness to the world. You want America to be as weak and as whiny as possible like other Code Pink AoS posters, and if this means China takes over the world and you have to learn Mandarin, so be it,

I likewise have no doubt you will want me executed after digging my own grave for not being Mike Armstrong and for having a valid passport with visas. Just kidding, you want a cop to do that. You are too chicken to do that yourself,

Keep preening.

322 The ... quite literally ... exact fucking opposite.

That’s not in any way how you carry yourself here. If that bothers you somehow, time for some very serious introspection. Walk away and do some very serious soul searching.

323 I'm within the city limits of KCMo and I bought the little house next door for $22,000, just to keep someone from buying it and renting it to someone who would live in the dump.
I tore it down.

326 I am not required to pay for shit. The big Judicial Slap Back against Trump is EXACTLY because of what you say.

This is where I walk away because the debate is over, you just haven't figured it out yet.
