Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer is seeking taxpayer funds for a left-wing group facing a congressional investigation for advising illegal aliens how to evade federal immigration agents.
The New York Democrat requested $600,000 for the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC), a New York City-based nonprofit, as part of the congressionally directed spending program, according to documents his office released last week. Members of Congress submit the spending requests each year for causes "reflecting their federal funding priorities," according to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Schumer’s request for CPC comes as Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee are investigating the organization as part of a probe "into the potential use of federal funds by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration." Reps. Mark Green (R., Tenn.) and Josh Brecheen (R., Okla.) launched the investigation in April after an undercover video showed CPC chief policy officer Carlyn Cowen advising a group of illegal aliens how to evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
