Following outcry from the ACLU and other nonprofits, lawmakers in the House rejected a bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump that would allow the U.S. Treasury Department to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits it found to be supporting terrorists. A coalition of more than 100 nonprofit organizations warned that the legislation would give the administration sweeping powers to target nonprofits without providing clear evidence. The measure, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, was opposed by 145 Democrats and 1 Republican lawmaker. (The Intercept)
Nonprofits that support immigrants in California are “preparing for the worst” as the incoming Trump administration vows to make good on campaign promises to carry out mass deportations. To help rebuild rapid-response networks created during the first Trump presidency nonprofits including CHIRLA, founded as the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights, California Immigration Policy Center, and Oakland Rising have joined in a coalition called We Are California. They plan to expand programs offering pro bono legal assistance to immigrants facing deportation and to push local governments to expand the state’s sanctuary laws, which restrict local police from cooperating with federal law-enforcement officers.
