Inspector General Could Probe $6B in Tax Dollars Fueling Immigration Crisis; Kristi Noem Stops Taxpayer Money From Funding Illegal Migrant Flood

Inspector General Could Probe $6B in Tax Dollars Fueling Immigration Crisis:

The government should investigate how $6 billion in tax dollars funded the nongovernmental organizations to move illegal immigrants across the country, Mike Howell, executive director of The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, told a House panel.

Congress has a role, and so does the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, Howell told the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability during testimony Tuesday.

“So where are all the government investigations? I’m begging for someone to please join us,” Howell said, noting several investigations on illegal immigration by the Oversight Project.

“What about the DHS OIG [Office of Inspector General]? I see investigation after investigation into the conditions at [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] facilities. Where are the investigations of these nonprofits, and the $6 billion that flowed through them? It’s time that we start treating the Biden border crisis like the crime scene that it is.”

The subcommittee held a hearing reviewing the consequences of the border and immigration policies of former President Joe Biden and former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was impeached by the House for not enforcing border laws.

“Now this body funded it. I know a lot of members here had nothing to do with it. But the money came from Congress to fund the Biden border invasion,” Howell continued. “So, this body retains the responsibility and authority to figure out exactly how that money was spent and where these illegals ended up, and what NGOs, like the ones who helped facilitate the travel of Jose Ibarra who ended up killing Laken Riley with taxpayer dollars, were involved in that?”

Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., the subcommittee chairman, said he supported the idea of investigating various nonprofit groups paid by the federal government to shelter and relocate illegal immigrants.

“I really am intrigued by that because I think it is something that committees are going to be lacking on if we don’t. It’s a great idea,” Brecheen told Howell. —>READ MORE HERE

Kristi Noem stops taxpayer money from funding illegal migrant flood:

For four years, I’ve reported about how a large, organized constellation of United Nations agencies partnered with hundreds of private nonprofit groups to direct billions of mostly US-taxpayer dollars into supporting historic illegal southern border crossing levels during President Joe Biden’s term in office.

Even for the new Trump administration, this conglomerate of 15 UN agencies and 230 NGOs was proposing to spend yet another $1.4 billion on the migration trail in 2025, $1.2 billion more for 2026.

That’s in addition to the more than $6 billion from 2020-2024 during the greatest mass migration event in American history.

Separately, hundreds of millions more went through NGOs to migrants arriving on the US side for their soft landing resettlements.

But now it looks like little to none of that funding will come from US taxpayers going forward.

New Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday issued an “exclusive announcement” to Fox News’ Will Cain that Trump has turned off that firehose.

“We have stopped all grant funding that’s being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country,” Noem said. “I’ve taken action to stop those funds, to re-evaluate them, and to make sure that we’re actually using taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country, to keep people safe.

“We’re not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country.”

This highly consequential sea change is guaranteed to finally bring about a badly needed national policy debate about migration. It’s one that Democrats have worked with their UN, NGO, and US media brethren to squelch throughout Biden’s term in office.

An executive order may be en route with details.

Those are badly needed because Noem didn’t say if the cash halt covers the 15 UN agencies working on the trails too, doing the same work as the NGOs and passing through to them some of that US cash — most of which originates as grants from the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development. —>READ MORE HERE
