The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) played a main role in mobilizing the “movement.” The state of California funds CHIRLA and provided the agency with $34 million in grants last fiscal year. Under the Biden Administration, CHIRLA received federal funding through the Department of Homeland Security. Trump revoked that funding in March and retracted over $100,000 in unused funds. Yet, the public is perplexed by the federal government cutting off funds to these NGOs. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/civil-unrest/state-funded-chaos-in-california/
