In some huge news posted to Truth Social, President Donald Trump drew attention to and backed a new bill working its way through Congress that would, if passed, ensure that those non-governmantal organizations (NGOs) that help fund the riots that ravage America both lose their tax-exempt status and lose out on any federal funding.
President Trump also announced that his administration is cutting funding to all such organizations regardless of if the legislation passes, which could help limit such riots and protests in the future by cutting off the funding that makes them happen and helps out those who are arrested during them.
Beginning his post, the president noted that the Congressman behind the important legislation is Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), and called on Congress to get to work and pass it immediately. He said, “CONGRESSMAN KEVIN KILEY’S, “NO TAX DOLLARS FOR RIOTS” legislation, should be passed immediately.”
Continuing, the president noted that his administration will, even in the absence of funding, be cutting off any money that would be flowing to those groups. He said, on that point, “I am hereby instructing my Administration not to pay ANY money to these radicalized groups, regardless of the legislation.”
Concluding, he noted that many of the groups use the money they get from the feds and donors to cause destructive riots, then have the temerity to come back for more under the guise of rebuilding the damage they caused, which won’t be tolerated. He said, “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!!!”
Rep. Kiley, taking to X to post about the legislation on Thursday, June 26, called out one of the groups involved in the riots and noted that such groups need to have their funding cut off. He said, “I am introducing the No Tax Dollars for Riots Act, legislation to deny public funding and tax-exempt status to “nonprofits” that organize riots. The group known as CHIRLA played a central role in the chaos in LA after receiving over $34 million in public funding.”
In the video posted in that tweet, the congressman first noted that the goal of the legislation is to block such riots from being publicly funded, saying, “Mr. Speaker, this week, I am introducing the No Tax Dollars for Riots Act, a bill that will assure that public funding is not used to create the sort of horrifying scenes that we just witnessed in Los Angeles.”

Continuing, he called out CHIRLA, noting, “In the wake of the LA riots, we have learned that a group claiming non-profit status, known as CHIRLA received $34 million in state funding and some federal funding as well. This group played a central role in organizing the riots, providing real-time locations to the rioters of where federal officers could be found. Several of these federal officers were subsequently assaulted with bricks and Molotov cocktails.”
Concluding, he noted that the bill is very reasonable and will block such incidents from occurring in the future. He said, “My bill will assure that an organization like this, whose officers are convicted of assaulting, resisting or impeding Federal officers or of organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in or carrying on a riot under Section 111, or 2101 of title 18 of the US Code loses their nonprofit status and is ineligible for Federal funding going forward. This is a common sense step that will prevent the sort of lawlessness that we saw in Los Angeles from reappearing in our state or elsewhere in the country.”
