NY pols push IRS to probe nonprofit ‘sanctuary’ groups helping defy Trump, federal immigration laws
Story by Carl Campanile • 14h
Two New York Republicans are urging the IRS to probe four legal and migrant advocacy groups that have been taking taxpayer funding — while defying the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown.
Reps. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island) and Claudia Tenney (R-Watertown) questioned the four groups’ nonprofit status in a letter to the IRS after an expose by The Post that revealed the groups took in more than $600 million in public funds while simultaneously pushing New York’s sanctuary policies.
“We are concerned that these organizations may be using tax-exempt resources to provide goods, services or legal advice that (1) encourages, (2), induce, or (3) aid and abet an alien in unlawfully entering, remaining in, or evading detection within the United States,” the lawmakers said in a Tuesday letter to IRS Commissioner William Hollis Long.
