An advocacy group at the center of the organizing efforts of the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles has long raised money through ActBlue, the controversial Democratic Party-oriented non-profit entity that is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Congress.
According to the social media pages of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), the group was formed in 1986 to “advance the human and civil rights of immigrants and refugees.” Its mission is to “educate, organize, and advocate.” The landing page of CHIRLA’s website solicits donations through another entity, called Funraise.
CHIRLA is nonetheless listed in ActBlue’s official directory, and ActBlue facilitates donations to CHIRLA. The far-left, pro-immigrant charity’s latest IRS 990 filing for 2023 shows that CHIRLA had revenue of close to $45 million, and expenses of just over $20 million. Their tax filing does not disclose donors’ names, nor any specific amount that ActBlue channeled to CHIRLA.

The charity’s IRS filings self-described their mission as to “promote harmonious multi-ethnic human relations.” Dozens have been arrested after violent clashes with ICE agents attempting to locate illegal immigrants. L.A.ist, a local magazine, published an Associated Press newsphoto of a masked man using a Mexican flag to assault police officers.
