EPA is Using Inflation Reduction Act Money to Pay Groups that Want to Abolish ICE
By The Geller Report
A highly weaponized partisan government plundering American taxpayer dollars to fund the destruction of our laws, our border, our law enforcement. Democrats’ cacophony of daily chaos is engineered so that any freedom loving American cannot address all things at once.
Look Who the EPA Is Funding Now
Inflation Reduction Act money is paying groups that want to abolish ICE.
By The Editorial Board, WSJ, June 14, 2024:
The Inflation Reduction Act is the political gift that keeps on giving—especially if you’re a lobby for progressive causes. We recently told you that the Environmental Protection Agency handed IRA money to an outfit backing anti-Israel protests. Turns out EPA is also funding groups that oppose immigration enforcement.
That’s the latest discovery by West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito’s office, which is probing IRA spending. The law appropriated $3 billion for Environmental and Climate Justice block grants. EPA is supposed to select “grantmakers” and “partner” organizations to spread around the largesse.
EPA tapped Fordham University as a grantmaker to distribute $50 million, in collaboration with the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) and the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice (NJAIJ). What does immigration have to do with climate? Nothing, though progressives say the issues “intersect” in the oppression of minority groups.
According to the EPA, Fordham and its partners will take “an intersectional approach to place frontline communities in positions of power” to advance climate justice “in disadvantaged and hard-to-reach communities and communities disproportionately impacted by climate change, pollution, and other environmental stressors.” What does that even mean?
Perhaps abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is what NYIC advocates. NYIC condemned ICE as “racist and abusive” at a “Member Congress” in January. The group this month rallied with Democrats in Albany for a bill to prohibit local law enforcement from working with ICE.
