President Trump Endorses Rep. Kiley Bill to Prevent Violent Riots

WASHINGTON – In response to the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) introduced the No Tax Dollars for Riots Act. The bill targets nonprofit organizations that are involved in organizing unlawful riots by making them ineligible for federal funding and removing their tax-exempt status.

“We have learned that the horrific violence in Los Angeles was fueled by taxpayer dollars,” Rep. Kiley said. “This is absolutely unacceptable. I am grateful to President Trump for endorsing my bill, the No Tax Dollars for Riots Act, to assure this is not allowed to happen again.”

President Trump endorsed the bill in a Truth Social post, saying, “Congressman Kevin Kiley’s ‘No Tax Dollars for Riots’ legislation should be passed immediately. I am hereby instructing my Administration not to pay any money to these radicalized groups, regardless of the legislation. They get paid to incite riots, burn down or destroy a city, then come back to the trough to get money to help rebuild it. No more money!!!”

In the wake of the Los Angeles riots, it has come to light that the nonprofit CHIRLA received $34 million in state funding. The group, which has previously campaigned to abolish ICE, played a pivotal role in enabling the riots by broadcasting the precise location of ICE operations in real time. 

The Judiciary Committee, of which Congressman Kiley is a member of has opened an investigation into CHIRLA’s use of public funds on criminal activity.
