Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is helping lead House Republicans’ investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, which is being facilitated by the House committees on Homeland Security and the Judiciary, respectively.
He delivered an update on that investigation to senior Trump law enforcement officials Thursday, arguing a key fund being used to help illegal immigrants is being promoted using taxpayer dollars despite city officials’ insistence otherwise.
“Although described as privately funded, the Belonging Fund has been promoted through official city platforms and appears to leverage city infrastructure. Its stated purpose – to provide legal aid, housing, transportation, and other support to individuals arrested or targeted by ICE – raises serious concerns,” Ogles told Trump officials in a memo. “If any federal resources were used directly or indirectly, this could constitute a violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act or federal grant restrictions.”
Ogles is asking whether funds from the group were used “to harbor or conceal individuals from lawful detention.”
According to the fund’s website, “donations to the fund are made possible solely by individual donors and private organizations – no government dollars are included. That means no taxpayer dollars are being used in the administration or distribution of this fund.”
So let me get this straight…
Mayor O’Connell’s so-called “Belonging Fund” — which may be using taxpayer dollars to help illegal aliens evade ICE — has no system to track who the money is going to?
This is exactly how Americans end up funding terrorists and gangs.
