Overview

  • Sen. Josh Hawley has given CHIRLA, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Unión del Barrio two weeks to comply with document requests or face subpoenas in his expanded probe.
  • His letters demand donor lists, internal communications, third-party contracts, financial transactions and travel reimbursement records linked to recent anti-ICE demonstrations.
  • CHIRLA executive director Angelica Salas said the group’s mission is rooted in nonviolent advocacy and warned the inquiry risks intimidating immigrant-rights organizations and chilling free speech.
  • House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green and Subcommittee Chair Josh Brecheen opened a parallel investigation into over 200 nonprofits accused of helping fuel the border crisis.
  • Protests against ICE operations have spread from Los Angeles to Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, prompting a National Guard deployment in Los Angeles County.
