President Trump Endorses Rep. Kiley Bill to Prevent Violent Riots

<p><strong>WASHINGTON</strong> – In response to the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) introduced the <em>No Tax Dollars for Riots Act.</em> 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. </p>

<p>“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.” </p>

<p>President Trump endorsed the bill in a Truth Social post, saying, &#8220;Congressman Kevin Kiley&#8217;s &#8216;No Tax Dollars for Riots&#8217; 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!!!&#8221; </p>

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>
