US EditionRepublicans Face Crowded Field in Race to Lead House Homeland Security Panel
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Republicans accused NGOs of profiting from taxpayer grants and worsening illegal immigration while Democrats defended faith-based charities amid calls for subpoenas.
- During the subcommittee session, Republicans vowed to `come after` NGOs and Democrats stonewalled with subpoenas.
- A June 11 press release by the House Homeland Security Committee launched a probe into NGOs supporting inadmissible aliens during the Biden-Harris border crisis, marking one of several recent hearings on NGOs’ government ties.
- Expert witnesses testified that Blaze Media’s Julio Rosas, Mike Howell and Ali Hopper said NGOs’ funded services incentivized crossings by exposing migrants to trafficking horrors.
- Thompson denounced the inquiry as `an attack on diverse faith-based organizations over their religious practices,` and said it was `a threat to charities that do humanitarian work Republicans do not like.`
- Looking ahead, the House Homeland Security Committee describes this as part of a years-long probe into whether NGOs used taxpayer funds to facilitate illegal activity under the Biden-Harris administration.
