New York Attorney General Letitia James ordered the Black Lives Matter Foundation on Monday to immediately cease and desist soliciting donations from New York. The entity that James ordered to stop soliciting donations is not the same entity as the far-left neo-Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.

“The foundation, which has no affiliation with the Black Lives Matter Movement, has not registered as a charitable organization in the state of New York, making contributions solicited within the state illegal,” James’ office said in a statement. “The Black Lives Matter Foundation has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks for accepting donations meant for the Black Lives Matter Movement to end police brutality.”
