California attorney Laura Powell shared details on social media, accusing CHIRLA of using taxpayer funds to \u201cfoment violent responses\u201d to federal immigration actions. According to Powell, CHIRLA leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which tracks ICE activity and mobilizes activists. She also linked CHIRLA to Mayor Karen Bass and powerful labor unions, noting that the organization has long taken radical stances, including leading a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. Financial records show CHIRLA received $34 million in state funding in 2023, nearly triple the previous year, along with a $450,000 federal contract later revoked after a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-16\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"ee9b5beb-31c0-484b-93a3-f82005b14d5d\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<p data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1711\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Amid the protests, California Rep. Maxine Waters appeared at the scene, vocally opposing the National Guard\u2019s presence, which President Trump had ordered in response to escalating violence. Waters confronted troops, questioning their readiness to use force and criticizing what she called an unjustified show of militarized authority in a sanctuary city. She emphasized that state officials, including the governor, were not consulted and accused Trump of using the situation to intimidate immigrant communities. Waters also attempted to enter the Los Angeles Federal Building to check on SEIU President David Huerta, who was arrested during a protest. The ongoing unrest has raised broader concerns about the influence of taxpayer-funded nonprofits in political activism and the federal government\u2019s response to sanctuary city policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\">\n<div class=\"touch:-me-2 touch:-ms-3.5 -ms-2.5 -me-1 flex items-center p-1 select-none -mt-1 w-full duration-[1.5s] focus-within:transition-none hover:transition-none pointer-events-none [mask-image:linear-gradient(to_right,black_33%,transparent_66%)] [mask-size:300%_100%] [mask-position:100%_0%] motion-safe:transition-[mask-position] group-hover\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-hover\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] group-focus-within\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-focus-within\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] has-data-[state=open]:pointer-events-auto has-data-[state=open]:[mask-position:0_0]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report highlights The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) as a central figure behind the recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, where demonstrators clashed with&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
