The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into a far-left organization to see if it used federal funds to organize anti-ICE unrest in Los Angeles.
The committee announced its investigation into the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a far-left organization. A Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-says-shell-enforce-border-laws-her-admin-gave-1-2-million-to-group-that-wants-to-end-them">investigation</a> last year revealed that CHIRLA had received federal funding under the Biden-Harris administration as it worked to “dismantle the U.S. immigration enforcement system” and pushed for mass illegal alien amnesty.
The House Judiciary Committee <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/24/us-news/house-judiciary-committee-opens-probe-into-chirlas-possible-role-in-la-riots/">explained</a> that it is concerned “that CHIRLA may be using federal funds to support violent criminal activity that impedes the enforcement of federal immigration law.”
The federal funds awarded to the far-left organization under the Biden-Harris administration were earmarked for “citizenship instruction and naturalization services” and “innovations in citizenship education.”
The letter requests that CHIRLA produce “all documents and communications” pertaining to the federal funds it received and specific information detailing how those funds were spent.
The organization is also being asked to turn over communications and documents “referring or relating to protests against ICE, DHS, Customs and Border Protection, enforcement of immigration laws, or the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.” The House Judiciary Committee gave CHIRLA a deadline of July 8th to comply with its requests.
A spokesman for CHIRLA said that the organization has not been involved in coordinating protests in Los Angeles, instead stating that the group “organized a press event” to speak out against the ICE raids and had “been sending legal observers to immigration courts and detention centers.”
“We have not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally,” the CHIRLA representative said.
While the House Judiciary Committee works to ascertain the extent of the organization’s involvement in the protests and unrest in Los Angeles, other leftwing groups have directly fueled the protest efforts, The Daily Wire previously revealed.
Left-wing activists in Los Angeles raised money to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftwing-activist-network-distributes-riot-gear-to-los-angeles-anti-ice-agitators?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=10&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Meet+The+Leftwing+Activist+Using+Social+Media+To+Funnel+Riot+Gear+To+Anti-ICE+Protests">purchase and distribute</a> helmets, respirators, and other items to be used by those at the “front lines” of the unrest as they faced off against police officers.

The Supreme Court paused an order from a lower court judge preventing the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens to so-called “third countries&#8221; that are willing to accept aliens from other nations.
The 6-3 Supreme Court <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-allows-trump-deport-certain-immigrants-third-countries-rcna209419">ruling</a> is a victory for the Trump administration, which previously had to allow illegal aliens the opportunity to contest their deportation to nations other than their country of origin. The ruling gives the administration the ability to deport those whose nations of origin are unwilling to accept them, potentially paving the way for <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/23/supreme-court-immigrants-deport-torture-sudan/83885228007/">thousands</a> of deportations.
The decision comes after the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-deports-murderers-and-rapists-to-south-sudan-but-judge-might-order-their-return-to-u-s">deported</a> eight violent criminal illegal aliens, including Cuban and Vietnamese nationals, to South Sudan after the African nation agreed to accept them. The illegal aliens’ home nations were not willing to accept the criminals, whose crimes include homicide, kidnapping, and the sexual assault of children.
The deportation flight was quickly challenged in court, with one federal judge ruling that the Trump administration must maintain custody of the criminal illegal aliens in case their deportation to the African nation was found to be unlawful, also stating that illegal aliens must be given the opportunity to contest their removal to third countries.
The Trump administration called on the Supreme Court to weigh in on the case, while Solicitor General John Sauer asserted that the federal ruling exacerbated the illegal immigration crisis.
&#8220;The United States is facing a crisis of illegal immigration, in no small part because many aliens most deserving of removal are often the hardest to remove,&#8221; Sauer wrote in the appeal.
The ruling could also allow the Trump administration to deport one illegal alien, a convicted murderer named Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-era-decision-could-block-trump-admins-attempt-to-deport-convicted-murderer-to-home-country?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Biden-Era+Decision+Could+Block+Trump+Admin%E2%80%99s+Attempt+To+Deport+Convicted+Murderer+To+Home+Country">received</a> a special deportation protection preventing him from being sent back to his country of origin. The Salvadoran national, who also has a conviction for sexual abuse and is believed to be a member of the Surenos gang, is expected to be deported to a willing third country.

A branch of the Democratic Party revealed the location of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Los Angeles and organized protests at hotels housing the federal law enforcement agents, a Daily Wire investigation reveals.
Foothill Community Democrats doxxed the locations of federal law enforcement in multiple posts on Instagram. One post identified six Los Angeles hotels that are reportedly housing ICE agents and encouraged fellow Democrats to call the hotels to demand they kick ICE out.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire the department will prosecute those who dox ICE agents.
“These are thugs. We will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law,” McLaughlin said. “These criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers. We won’t allow it in America.”
Another post from the Foothill Democrats explicitly called on people to protest at a hotel that was housing ICE, using the tagline “No Sleep for ICE.” It said the protest would continue “until the hotel makes them leave.”

One protest organized by the Democratic group at a hotel in Arcadia appeared to have the intended effect. After first advertising the protest to its followers, the Foothill Community Democrats&#8217; Instagram page made another post, this one reading “ICE is out of Arcadia Hilton!”
“We started this protest at 11am and community members kept showing up all day until it reached upwards of 50 dedicated people tonight,” the post read.

The Democrats’ efforts to doxx ICE agents is one of the latest ways that leftwing agitators have attempted to hinder the operations of federal law enforcement.
The Daily Wire recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftwing-activist-network-distributes-riot-gear-to-los-angeles-anti-ice-agitators?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Meet+The+Leftwing+Activist+Using+Social+Media+To+Funnel+Riot+Gear+To+Anti-ICE+Protests">revealed</a> that activists teamed up to raise funds for helmets, respirators, and gloves before distributing them to agitators on the “front lines” of the unrest against law enforcement in Los Angeles.

Democrat Party Doxxes ICE Agents In Los Angeles, Holds Protests At Their Hotels

California

A network of leftwing agitators is distributing helmets, respirators, and other gear that appears intended for use in stand-offs with law enforcement to anti-ICE protesters on the &#8220;front lines&#8221; of the Los Angeles riots, a Daily Wire investigation has found.
Federal authorities have targeted individuals seen handing out gas masks and other riot gear to anti-ICE agitators, charging one with a felony that could land him in federal prison. The Daily Wire has been able to identify at least one other individual involved in a similar scheme, using social media to fundraise and distribute gear used to combat authorities.
One leftwing activist boasted on Instagram that she was able to “distribute over 100 pairs of work gloves, 50 helmets, and 500 masks at LA City Hall today!” adding that she also distributed &#8220;fire blankets, respirators, ponchos, and earplugs.” The woman, who goes by the username “Shaaaandraaaaahhh” on the social media platform, assured her audience in her post over the weekend that “I will restock and organize a pick-up date and time so that those of you on the FRONT LINES can get exactly what you need.”
<div id="attachment_933627" style="width: 363px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-933627" class=" wp-image-933627" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.27.32-PM-181x300.png" alt="" width="353" height="585" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.27.32-PM-181x300.png 181w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.27.32-PM-347x576.png 347w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.27.32-PM.png 614w" sizes="(max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px" />Screenshot</div>
She also posted a video of a shopping cart full of items that would be distributed to agitators, including what appear to be respirators. Then in the comments, she offered advice to one leftist who asked how they could best defend against tear gas. “What respirator mask do you recommend for combating tear gas?” one user with a pride flag profile picture asked.
<div id="attachment_933623" style="width: 465px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-933623" class=" wp-image-933623" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.26.13-PM-190x300.png" alt="" width="455" height="719" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.26.13-PM-190x300.png 190w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.26.13-PM-364x576.png 364w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.26.13-PM.png 604w" sizes="(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px" />Screenshot</div>
“If you can afford it, a full on gas mask … but they’re heavy and cumbersome,” the activist said in response. “Otherwise a half-mask respirator. You can get them for around $45-50 at hardware stores,” she went on to say under the post, which featured a shopping cart full of what <a href="https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-P100-Half-Mask-Respirator-M-L/5014434651?store=2725&amp;cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-hdw-_-ggl-_-PMAX_HDW_000_Priority_Item-_-5014434651-_-local-_-0-_-0&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21797082881&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAD2B2W9PARkHjvb19YrT5XsszlaN_&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw9anCBhAWEiwAqBJ-cwHdTapEXpZ018XoJ5uAO4RIBhDjC28nYS3NjIo9Dcy3H96Kzzxz0RoCujoQAvD_BwE">appear to be</a> half-mask respirators.

In an earlier post encouraging people to attend a “mass mobilization&#8221; action against ICE, she advertised the impending gear distribution, adding “Only grab gear if you are literally going out to the front lines TODAY.”
<div id="attachment_933619" style="width: 450px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-933619" class=" wp-image-933619" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.24.34-PM-172x300.png" alt="" width="440" height="767" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.24.34-PM-172x300.png 172w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.24.34-PM-331x576.png 331w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.24.34-PM.png 504w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" />Screenshot</div>
But the Instagram user, who has a history of anti-Israel activism, does not appear to be acting alone. She tagged multiple organizations in her posts, including “socaluprising” and “eastlaimagee” thanking them for helping her fundraise for the supplies. One group on Instagram, called “SuperFamilia_KC,” was credited by the activist “for bringing everyone together to raise funds for this important cause,” while another post said that the group “donated funds” to the effort.
The group’s Venmo account is attached to the name “Rosario Lopez Hernandez,&#8221; who appears to be heavily involved in leftist protest organizing. Lopez Hernandez was among the organizers who set up tents and formed an <a href="https://fixhomelessness.org/2024/far-left-activists-demand-county-give-housing-for-homeless-to-illegal-immigrant-encampment/">encampment</a> on a Washington State property owned by the City of Kent as she pushed the city to provide housing for illegal aliens. Lopez Hernandez demanded that the city house illegal aliens in a motel that was reserved for homeless American citizens.
She and her team of activists pulled the same stunt in Seattle, forming another encampment at a public park, again demanding housing for illegal aliens. Lopez Hernandez c<a href="https://x.com/choeshow/status/1775694491938324485">hased out</a> one reporter who entered the encampment. She was also <a href="https://mynorthwest.com/local/6-charged-with-trespassing-after-protest-at-seattle-city-council-meeting/3955500">charged with trespassing</a> at a Seattle City Council meeting, which she attended to again demand the city provide housing to illegal aliens.
The Venmo account’s history shows multiple people sending donations with phrases like “f*ck ICE” and “Ice melts under resistance.”
The activist behind the Instagram account also reposted a “non-violent guide” called “how to make it harder for cops to do their jobs,” which recommended activists pick up tear gas canisters and “return to owner,” or throw it back at the police.
“Make sure you’re wearing heat resistant gloves!” the post says, adding “cops have gas masks and threw it at you, so feel no shame and yeet that shit.”

Super Familia made a post of their own, which read “if you plan to put your body on the line … wear heat resistant gloves, pads, long sleeves, a helmet, and bring an umbrella,” referencing many of the items that it appears to have helped fundraise for.
<div id="attachment_933611" style="width: 458px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-933611" class=" wp-image-933611" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.21.47-PM-219x300.png" alt="" width="448" height="613" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.21.47-PM-219x300.png 219w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-12-at-12.21.47-PM-420x576.png 420w" sizes="(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px" />Screenshot</div>

Alejandro Theodoro Ornella, the first individual charged for distributing gear, was hit with Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorder, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli <a href="https://x.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1933158095833964798">announced</a> Thursday.
While other leftwing groups fundraise for and distribute respirators, helmets, and other material that could be used by rioters, Ornella now sits in federal custody and could face up to five years in prison if convicted. “We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” Essayli noted after the arrest.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants who were paroled into the country by the Biden administration were informed Thursday that their legal status and work authorization has been officially revoked and are now being encouraged to self-deport back to their countries of origin.
The Department of Homeland Security began notifying many of the more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua that their parole had been formally <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/12/dhs-begins-terminating-bidens-migrant-parole-scheme-warns-illegal-aliens-they-should-self-deport/">revoked</a> as of Thursday. The move comes after the Trump administration announced in March that it would revoke the status of the migrants.
“They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin charged.
She added that the Biden administration “granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed.”
President Donald Trump also railed against the Biden administration&#8217;s immigration policies and encouraged illegal aliens to self-deport in a post on Truth Social Thursday.
“Biden let 21 Million Unvetted, Illegal Aliens flood into the Country from some of the most dangerous and dysfunctional Nations on Earth — Many of them Rapists, Murderers, and Terrorists,” Trump wrote. “Those who are here illegally should either self deport using the CBP Home App or, ICE will find you and remove you.

The formal revocation of parole status for more than half a million migrants comes a week after the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-supreme-court-lets-trump-revoke-parole-status-migrants-2025-05-30/">ruled in favor</a> of the Trump administration, noting that it was within the president’s power to modify the status of the migrants.
The ruling came in the wake of a federal judge’s decision to temporarily block Trump from revoking the status. That judge, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-who-prevented-trumps-deportation-of-500k-migrants-volunteered-for-obama-elizabeth-warren">reported,</a> previously volunteered for and donated to prominent Democrat candidates, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and former President Barack Obama.
“Ending the CHNV parole programs, as well as the paroles of those who exploited it, will be a necessary return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America First,” McLaughlin said.
The Trump administration previously encouraged illegal aliens to self-deport, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-transforms-bidens-cbp-one-app-leave-now-and-self-deport">remaking</a> an online application that was previously used to streamline migrants into the country into a platform where illegal aliens can submit their intent to depart the United States. Illegal aliens can even qualify for a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-immigration-mass-deportation-payment-border-illegal-c459325c4a73dba0d5a89fa19dbee334">$1,000 stipend</a> and have their travel costs covered if they leave the country voluntarily.

A commentator on CNN defended the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, claiming that California and the Southwest region of the United States once belonged to Mexico.
“It is almost 50 percent Hispanic. Remember that California was part of Mexico, all of the Southwest is Mexico,” former Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas said on CNN while discussing the protests and riots against ICE. “The roots are really deep in that region, and what they’re saying is ‘no, not in our community.’”

Several organizations behind the Los Angeles protests have argued that Mexico has a legitimate claim to California and the broader American Southwest, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/racist-groups-behind-anti-ice-riot-want-mexico-to-reconquer-america-illegal-settler-nation?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Racist+Groups+Behind+Anti-ICE+Riot+Want+Mexico+To+Reconquer+America%3A+%E2%80%98Illegal+Settler+Nation%E2%80%99">revealed.</a> Some even deny the legitimacy of the United States and want Mexico to reconquer the Southwestern states.
An organization called Centro CSO pushes for “Chicano self-determination” and flies the flag of Aztlan, the mythical homeland of the Aztecs, which has been used as a symbol by political activists who deny America’s claim to the states it won in the Mexican-American War.
One organizer with Centro CSO appeared to call for violence against federal law enforcement while speaking to a crowd of leftwing agitators.
“They’re going to find out that we don’t play games out here,” the man, identified as Sammy Carrera, said, “We’re no longer going to be on the defense, we’re going to take the fight to them.”

Union del Barrio, an equally radical group, also joined the protests. The race-based organization calls America an “illegal settler nation” and fights against “European colonialism” and the “Anglo settler.”
The organization refers to the American Southwest as occupied Mexico and calls for international racial unity across the North and South American continents “to overturn all manifestations of colonial, imperialist, and neoliberal oppression” and reclaim the states won by the United States in its war with Mexico.

CNN Commentator Defends Rioters Waving Foreign Flags: ‘All Of The Southwest Is Mexico’

One of the groups organizing the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles advocates for Mexico to reconquer much of the American Southwest, arguing that the United States is an illegitimate colonialist power.
Centro CSO, an organization that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/centrocso/?hl=en">pushes</a> for the Mexican people to have “self-determination” in America’s southwestern states, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1420030845819289/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22external_search_engine%22%7D%2C%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22attachment%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%7D%5D%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D">recruited</a> its followers to join the Sunday protests as violence escalated against federal law enforcement. The group marched with a banner that read “Fight Trump,” and reposted an image of an ICE vehicle on social media, particularly flagging that car’s license plate.
The group&#8217;s rallying call is the flag of <a href="https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/aztlan#:~:text=Aztl%C3%A1n%2C%20the%20name%20of%20the,during%20the%201970s%20Chicano%20movement.">Aztlán</a>, a mythical homeland of the Aztecs in the southwestern United States, which was ruled by Mexico prior to the Mexican American War and the independence of Texas. The symbol has been used by Mexican nationalists who claim that America has no legitimate claim to states, including Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California.
An individual associated with the organization spoke at the rally and appeared to threaten violence against law enforcement. “They’re going to find out that we don’t play games out here,” Sammy Carrera said. “We’re no longer going to be on the defense, we’re going to take the fight to them,” he said of ICE agents in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKqJodkySY-/?igsh=d3NxdG1zdTdxb3My">video</a> that was posted by a communist organization.
Centro CSO was not the only group involved in organizing the anti-ICE protests, which began on Friday after the federal agency <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gang-members-sex-offenders-and-more-heres-who-ice-actually-picked-up-during-la-raids">arrested</a> gang members and sex offenders, that argues the United States should be conquered by Mexico.

The “revolutionary” organization similarly <a href="https://uniondelbarrio.org/main/4-2/about-udb/political-program/who-we-are/i-from-alaska-to-chile-we-are-one-people-without-borders/">invokes the myth</a> of Aztlán, also referring to the American southwest as occupied Mexico.

“We hold that the struggle of La Raza in Aztlan/México Ocupado is historically and geographically defined as an indigenous and Mexicano anti-colonial fight for land and socialism,” the group says. Unión del Barrio calls for international racial unity to overthrow “European colonialism” and “neocolonialists” among the “United States white nationalist population.”
“The principled unification of our forces throughout Nuestra América will be necessary to overturn all manifestations of colonial, imperialist, and neoliberal oppression,” it goes on to say.

Racist Groups Behind Anti-ICE Riot Want Mexico To Reconquer America: ‘Illegal Settler Nation’

There are more than 1,000 jurisdictions across the United States that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, a new study indicates, marking a drastic surge over the past several years.
The number of sanctuary jurisdictions have nearly doubled since 2018, with a total of 1,003 jurisdictions obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it attempts to enforce federal immigration law, the <a href="https://www.fairus.org/issue/sanctuary-jurisdictions-across-us">report</a> from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found.
That figure, FAIR says, includes Washington, D.C., and 17 states that have state-wide illegal alien sanctuary policies.
“What started as a small movement has since been expanded by open-border advocates, resulting in a widespread trend that undermines federal immigration law and threatens national security,” FAIR pointed out in its report, also noting that sanctuary policies “pose a serious threat to the safety and security of the American people” and “conflict with federal law.”
<div id="attachment_930687" style="width: 786px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-930687" class=" wp-image-930687" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-06-at-3.36.26-PM-300x195.png" alt="FAIR" width="776" height="504" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-06-at-3.36.26-PM-300x195.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-06-at-3.36.26-PM-888x576.png 888w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-06-at-3.36.26-PM-768x498.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Screen-Shot-2025-06-06-at-3.36.26-PM.png 1030w" sizes="(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px" />From FAIR</div>
&#8220;Our findings reveal that, prior to 2000, only 11 jurisdictions had adopted sanctuary policies. By 2009, that number had grown to 40,” FAIR says as it charts the growth in its report. “In 2016, it had surged to over 300, and by 2018, FAIR identified 564 jurisdictions as noncooperative.”
These jurisdictions impede federal immigration enforcement through a variety of different policies, including by barring jails from complying with ICE detainer requests, prohibiting law enforcement from asking about the immigration status of suspects, and denying federal immigration enforcement officers access to jails and prisons.

Policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from federal law, FAIR says, violate the Constitution, which gives Congress authority over immigration and states that federal law wins out against conflicting state laws.

Some states have even offered deportation defense to illegal aliens in removal proceedings. While an Egyptian illegal alien was plotting a firebombing terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, Democrat lawmakers in the state were passing an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weeks-before-illegal-alien-terror-attack-colorado-dems-passed-law-shielding-illegals-from-ice?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Weeks+Before+Illegal+Alien+Terror+Attack%2C+Colorado+Dems+Passed+Law+Shielding+Illegals+From+ICE">immigration law</a> that not only prevents local governments from sharing immigration data with federal authorities, but even fines violators and dedicates the money to a state-run deportation defense fund.
FAIR points out that other states, including Arizona, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and the Dakotas, have taken action to prevent their jurisdictions from adopting illegal alien sanctuary policies. In total, FAIR says, “22 states have banned sanctuary policies, encouraging or even requiring local law enforcement officers and other officials to cooperate with federal immigration officials.”
Only three states, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Montana, “have succeeded in eradicating sanctuary jurisdictions within their borders,” FAIR notes, warning that local jurisdictions in the other states often defy anti-sanctuary policies. The organization specifically pointed to Georgia, North Carolina, and Iowa as states with defiant localities that are insistent on shielding illegal aliens from immigration law, calling on them to “do more to ensure that their anti-sanctuary laws are enforced to protect public safety and uphold the rule of law.”

Study Reveals Number Of Illegal Alien Sanctuaries Across America

U.S.

A Colombian illegal alien who attempted to join ISIS after being released into the country by the Biden administration has been captured by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), The Daily Wire can exclusively reveal.
ICE says that the 35-year-old illegal alien from Colombia entered the United States in Lukeville, Arizona on July 14, 2024. He was then apprehended by Customs and Border Protection, who found he did not have valid documentation. He was entered into removal proceedings, but was later released into the interior of the United States by the Biden administration.
Then he tried to join ISIS.
ICE learned from the Department of Justice in May that the Colombian illegal alien was in communication with a social media account that claimed to arrange travel and combat training for those who want to join the Islamic terror organization. The social media account asked the illegal alien to record and send videos of himself pledging allegiance to ISIS.
He was arrested on May 22, 2025 in a joint effort between ICE and the FBI in the Boston area during Operation Patriot, a wider operation in the area that resulted in the arrest of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/largest-ever-ice-operation-results-nearly-1500-illegals-arrested-blue-state">nearly</a> 1,500 illegal aliens in the region.
&#8220;This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter,&#8221; an ICE spokesman told The Daily Wire. &#8220;If we’re going to make America safe again, we need to ensure those coming to this country do so legally, and are properly processed, which for four years was not the case.”
News of the Colombian&#8217;s arrest comes just after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-arrests-suspected-al-qaeda-member-released-into-u-s-by-biden-admin?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=ICE+Arrests+Suspected+Al+Qaeda+Member+Released+Into+U.S.+By+Biden+Admin">ICE arrested</a> a suspected member of Al Qaeda late last month in Philadelphia. That man, a Tajikistan-born Russian national, entered the United States by way of California in 2023 and was similarly paroled into the interior of the country under the Biden administration despite not having an immigrant visa.
ICE and the FBI worked together to arrest the man after Tajikistan warned that the illegal alien is a fugitive thought to have ties to a criminal organization. The Russian national is now in ICE custody, pending his removal from the United States.
Just days before the arrests became public, a different illegal alien, this one an Egyptian national, injured several people in a firebombing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-in-colorado-attack-on-pro-israel-demonstration-is-in-u-s-illegally-report?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspect+In+Colorado+Attack+On+Pro-Israel+Demonstration+Is+In+U.S.+Illegally%3A+Report">terrorist attack</a> against a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado.
The Biden administration not only witnessed a drastic surge in the number of terror suspects who attempted to enter the United States, but also attempted to cover up the surge, one former Border Patrol Chief <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-border-patrol-agent-reveals-biden-harris-told-him-to-hide-number-of-terrorists-crossing-border">charged</a> last year.
“In San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest aliens. These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism,” Former Chief Patrol Officer Aaron Heitke said during a hearing with the Homeland Security Committee in September. “Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year. Once word was out the border was far easier to cross San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022 well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year.&#8221;
The Biden administration, Heitke said, barred him from publicly discussing the drastic increase.
“At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests,” he said, adding that the administration “was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
Some terror suspects were actually let into the country. The Biden administration even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-gave-asylum-to-nearly-600-migrants-with-terrorism-ties-trump-says">paroled</a> hundreds of potential terrorists into the interior of the United States, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explained in April.
“Just the other day, we found 700 alien terrorists who have ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa cartel,” Gabbard revealed during a cabinet meeting in the White House. She added that the National Counterterrorism Center “identified almost 600 individuals with ties to other terrorists who came through our border illegally, claimed asylum, and under the Biden administration were paroled here within our borders.”

EXCLUSIVE: ICE Seizes Illegal Alien Who Tried To Join ISIS After The Biden Admin Let Him Go

Terrorism

An ideologically-driven bank founded by a leftwing billionaire offers loans to illegal aliens as part of its effort to fight “centuries of systemic racism,” using a little-known financial tactic to profit off America’s mass immigration crisis.
Beneficial State Bank, a project of billionaire Democrat donor and former presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-far-left-billionaire-activist-tom-steyer-ends-presidential-campaign">Tom Steyer</a>, utilizes Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to give loans to illegal aliens who would not otherwise be able to access lines of credit.
Rather than characterizing it as a way to corner the lending market for illegal aliens, who may otherwise struggle to access traditional financial tools, the Oakland, California-based bank says that its loan offerings are part of a plan to combat &#8220;systemic racism.&#8221;
“Beneficial State Bank is committed to addressing financial inequalities that disproportionately affect communities of color, a result of centuries of systemic racism,” the bank said in an <a href="https://www.beneficialstatebank.com/better-banking-blog/news-and-announcements/2022-impact-report-beneficial-state-bank-reports-more-than-601-million-in-mission-aligned-loans-in-2022">announcement</a> for its 2022 impact report. “The bank aims to foster financial security and broaden access to fair, transparent financing for all its customers, including those in immigrant communities.”
&#8220;A key initiative is lending to immigrant customers who may not have Social Security numbers but possess Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers,” the announcement reads. “In 2022 alone, Beneficial State Bank issued $25 million in auto loans to 707 ITIN borrowers.”
The bank doubled down on its effort to offer loans to illegal aliens the following year, its <a href="https://www.beneficialstatebank.com/uploads/files/BSB-Impact-Report-2023-Final.pdf">2023 impact report</a> reveals.
“Because many financial institutions require social security numbers, people without them, such as recent immigrants to the United States, can face barriers to qualifying for the loan they need to purchase a car,” the report reads. “The bank lends to customers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, providing critical access to credit and expanding financial inclusion.”
The bank noted that roughly 10% of the 16,000 active auto loans have been given to “customers using this alternative documentation.”
The program is specifically intended to appeal to illegal aliens. A subsidiary of Beneficial State Bank “first began lending to undocumented immigrants through furniture loans by partnering with furniture stores,” the Global Alliance for Banking on Values <a href="https://www.gabv.org/stories-from-gabv/beneficial-state-bank-helps-immigrants-without-social-security-numbers-get-access-to-credit/">wrote</a>.
Beneficial State Bank also <a href="https://www.beneficialstatebank.com/impact/community">offers loans</a> to people with California AB 60 driver’s licenses, a specific type of license that can be <a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/assembly-bill-ab-60-driver-licenses/">obtained</a> by “individuals who are unable to provide proof of legal residence in the United States.” The bank says that this loan offering allows “people without a social security number to access credit.”
Beneficial State Bank did not respond to a request for comment. But the bank is not the only financial institution that caters to illegal aliens by giving out ITIN loans. Prysma Lending, a mortgage lending company that operates in seven different states has actively courted illegal alien customers and has disbursed over a billion dollars in loans, a Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-the-company-financing-the-illegal-alien-takeover-of-american-homes?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=Investigation&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Meet+The+Mortgage+Company+Enabling+Illegal+Immigrants+To+Buy+American+Homes">investigation</a> revealed.
The company hosted a talk with an immigration lawyer and created a guide for illegal aliens who encounter federal law enforcement, telling customers how to trigger a “credible fear” interview to avoid deportation and explaining that “the interview process can slow deportation proceedings, giving you time to build a legal defense.”

Bank Founded By Democrat Billionaire Loans Illegals Money To Fight ‘Systemic Racism’

Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles slammed Nashville&#8217;s mayor over his opposition to deportation operations in an interview with Morning Wire, warning city leaders across the country that federal officials will crack down on those who impede law enforcement.
“If you impede federal law enforcement in their duties, in their directive to follow President Trump, to say, it&#8217;s time that we start deporting these folks, we&#8217;re going to be looking into your city and where appropriate, we&#8217;re going to hold you accountable,” Ogles said.
“The mayor of Nashville is making local PD, who are just trying to do their jobs, the bad guy,” Ogles said on Morning Wire. “The problem with that, aside from…impeding federal law enforcement is, we&#8217;ve had a 400% increase in attacks against law enforcement across the country.”

Ogles&#8217; comments came just after the congressman <a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/congressman-andy-ogles-confirms-federal-investigation-into-nashville-mayors-office-over-illegal-immigration/">confirmed</a> that the House Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees have launched an investigation into Nashville’s Democrat Mayor Freddie O’Connell, who spoke out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the federal agency captured nearly 200 illegal aliens in Nashville.
The congressman says he hopes to obtain correspondence between city officials and non-profit organizations discussing ICE’s arrests, as well as internal communications between city officials concerning the ICE raids. Ogles is also seeking internal documents and correspondence discussing an executive order from the mayor mandating that all city officials report their communications with ICE to his office.
Ogles told The Daily Wire the investigation into O’Connell also sends “a message to cities and mayors across the country.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
With the support of the House Judiciary Committee, I will be formally requesting all documents and communications from the Mayor’s office related to:

It isn’t just Nashville’s mayor that Ogles has his eye on, however. There’s also State Representative <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2025/05/14/tn-rep-andy-ogles-calls-investigation-into-nashville-leadership-obstructing-ice-operations/">Aftyn Bhen</a>, who followed ICE agents as they enforced federal law in Music City.
“She recorded herself and she put it on social media where she was blocking ICE vehicles,” Ogles said. “She even admitted to blocking four different – ‘delaying’ was the word she used – ICE vehicles as they were trying to conduct operations. And so that&#8217;s a crime.”
The ICE raids in Nashville, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-dems-rage-over-nashville-ice-raids-that-targeted-rapists-and-gang-members?author=Spencer+Lindquist+and+Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Dems+Rage+Over+Nashville+ICE+Raids+That+Targeted+Rapists+And+Gang+Members">first reported</a>, led to the capture of gang members, drug runners, and a convicted rapist. Of the 196 illegal aliens arrested in the raids, 95 had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, and another 31 had reentered the country after being previously removed from the United States.
Ogles explained that criminal illegal alien gangs, some of which have been designated foreign terror organizations by the Trump administration, have a foothold in Tennessee.
“As someone who&#8217;s on the Homeland Security Committee, [I] just received a classified briefing. And what I can tell you is that MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, they&#8217;re all over the country. They&#8217;re in Nashville. They&#8217;re in our small cities like Columbia and Tullahoma,” Ogles warned.
&#8220;I can tell you that these gangs are sophisticated. They&#8217;re in every city in our country. They have very sophisticated surveillance equipment, tactical equipment. This isn&#8217;t just some thug on the street selling drugs,&#8221; he added. &#8220;These are cartels and criminal enterprises that are moving and sweeping across our country.&#8221;
“If we don&#8217;t fight back, if we don&#8217;t take our cities and our streets back, you&#8217;re going to wake up and you&#8217;re going to see those gang members on the street corner in front of your elementary and middle schools, and then it&#8217;ll be too late,” he added.
Ogles also noted that illegal alien gangs “want strongholds in Nashville,” because the city’s proximity to other population centers makes it a valuable outpost for smuggling drugs, guns, and people.
“They want to take over Nashville, and the more competition and the more fighting, the more violence you&#8217;re to see on our streets, and I&#8217;m not going to stand for it,” Ogles said. “We&#8217;re going to find these people. We&#8217;re going to get them off our streets.”

Tennessee Congressman Hits Mayor Over Opposition To ICE: ‘We’re Going To Hold You Accountable’

Nashville

After decades of mass illegal immigration into the United States, untold millions of illegal aliens have settled throughout the country, competing with Americans for government benefits, jobs, and now, for homes.
For most illegal aliens, obtaining a mortgage from a traditional bank — without a social security number or a credit score — is nearly impossible. But as millions of illegal aliens flooded the country, a new industry has cropped up to capitalize on the new customer base, selling financing catered to the illegal population.
One entity at the forefront of this industry, a Daily Wire investigation has revealed, is Prysma Lending, which has given out more than a <a href="https://prysma.com/about-us">billion dollars</a> in loans in red and blue states alike as it blatantly targets illegal aliens.
Trump pledged to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/06/business/undocumented-immigrants-trump-mortgage-ban/index.html">ban mortgages for illegal aliens</a> on the campaign trail and his administration <a href="https://www.hud.gov/news/hud-no-25-048">took action</a> in March to prevent government-backed mortgages from going to illegal aliens. But Prysma is one of several companies — including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants">Colony Ridge</a>, the Texas development that The Daily Wire exposed as a magnet for illegal aliens — that uses a different financial tactic that isn’t impacted by the administration’s recent rule change, which specifically targeted loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
The company prides itself on “empowering the Latino community to achieve homeownership” in its Spanish-language <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prysma_lending_group/">Instagram bio.</a> The company’s president, Monica Serva, <a href="https://prysma.com/about-us">says</a> she started Prysma with the intent of “helping the Latino community” because she “realized how unfairly minorities were treated.”
But Prysma revealed that its business model relied on illegal aliens, in particular, when it hosted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQX1LczTk4&amp;t=30s">webinar</a> with an immigration lawyer to answer their customers&#8217; questions about the risk of deportation in the days following President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
The company is evidently concerned that its clientele could be deported, or at least that potential customers could be dissuaded from buying a home in a country that they fear they could be removed from.
They have reason to be worried. The Connecticut-based company’s website is checkered with explicit appeals to illegal aliens, allowing it to corner a market that doesn’t have access to the same financial tools as American citizens and legal residents.
“Prysma has helped non-US citizen families in: Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas,” the corporation’s site reads. “No Social Security or Green Card required.”
“You have a right to homeownership, regardless of legal status,” Prysma says. The company even published guides on “<a href="https://prysma.com/blog/personal-loans-for-undocumented-immigrants-options-available">loans for undocumented immigrants</a>” and boasts that it has “extensive experience with loans tailored to the unique needs of undocumented immigrants.”
“Securing personal loans can be a crucial step toward financial independence for undocumented immigrants, who often face challenges accessing traditional financial products,” Prysma writes. 
Federation for American Immigration Reform Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire that allowing illegal aliens to access mortgages could incentivize them to remain in the country, but that Congress could take action. 
“Access to mortgages can serve as an incentive for illegal aliens to remain in the country, especially at a time when the goal of the government is convincing illegal aliens to leave,” Mehlman explained. Congress could take many actions &#8211; from disclosure to outright prohibition &#8211; and set a national standard for states to follow.”
A Prysma employee admitted in the post-election <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQX1LczTk4&amp;t=30s">webinar</a> that the company specializes in offering loans to illegal aliens.
“At Prysma, again we’re super honored that Latinos come to us &#8230; well, people from all different parts of the world, looking for loans that don’t require a legal status,” Senior Mortgage Loan Originator Stefany Pina said.
The corporation made a guide to go along with the talk, providing “actionable steps to safeguard the things that matter to you most should you or a family member be at risk of deportation.” The document tells customers how to trigger a “credible fear” interview to avoid deportation, adding that “the interview process can slow deportation proceedings, giving you time to build a legal defense.”

Prysma also instructs illegal aliens to avoid presenting “IDs that could flag you for deportation,” including foreign passports.
Prysma’s business model <a href="https://prysma.com/tax-id-loans">appears to rely</a> on the individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), a tax processing number from the IRS that can be obtained by anyone regardless of their immigration status. The National Immigration Law Center, a left-wing Soros-backed organization, <a href="https://www.nilc.org/resources/itinfaq/">calls ITINs</a> “a powerful tool for immigrant taxpayers.” Illegal aliens can use ITINs to receive home and personal loans, often at rates significantly higher than those offered by traditional banks.
Obtaining an ITIN, Prysma is eager to point out, does not require a legal status. “Your ITIN allows you to take out a Tax ID loan … without showing legal residency in the U.S.” The company says, also adding “no social security card needed&#8221; and &#8220;no green card needed.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_917665" style="width: 819px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-917665" class=" wp-image-917665" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-300x85.png" alt="" width="809" height="229" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-300x85.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-1024x290.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-768x218.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three.png 1404w" sizes="(max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px" />Screenshot</div>
The IRS <a href="https://www.irs.gov/tin/itin/individual-taxpayer-identification-number-itin#what">created</a> ITINs so nonresidents could pay taxes. They were not intended to be used by illegal aliens to obtain mortgages or other loans.
This ITIN financial scheme is the same system that fueled the astronomical growth of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants">Colony Ridge</a>, the Texas development that The Daily Wire exposed as a magnet for illegal aliens. The site, which has attracted illegal alien murderers, drug-runners, human smugglers, and cartel members, similarly told buyers that they didn’t need social security numbers and instead doled out ITIN loans to illegal aliens.
Leaked emails from a Texas land developer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-developer-admits-colony-ridge-relies-on-subprime-lending-to-non-citizen-buyers">uncovered</a> by The Daily Wire indicate that there appears to be an entire industry built around supplying loans to illegal aliens. The developer, who formerly led a lobbying organization, wrote that “we will not be able to sell our developments if each of our buyers have to have [social security numbers].”
Prysma did not respond to a request for comment.
