$1B CA Taxes Have Gone To Illegal Immigrant NGOs/Non-Profits (04/22)
Q: What is the scope and impact of these funding streams, and how do they relate to Newsom's administration?
Crabtree outlines that multiple agencies and offices, including a specific channel from Newsom's office, directed hundreds of millions in payments to immigrant rights groups, contributing to a perception that taxpayer money supports open-border advocacy and services; she notes the involvement of private payments (behested payments) and ongoing funding that extends beyond immediate social services.
