Trump DHS Yanks Funding From Groups With Alleged Terrorist Ties Following Watchdog Report

Let’s be honest. Every time you look at your paycheck, you see how much money Washington takes. You work your tail off. You play by the rules. And for what? So some bureaucrat can waste it on a dumb study or a bridge to nowhere. It’s enough to make your blood boil.

This feeling of being ripped off is bad enough. But what if it was worse than that? What if your hard-earned money wasn’t just being wasted? What if it was being sent to people who hate America and everything we stand for? It’s a crazy thought. But it turns out, it’s true.

And guess what? We were right all along. The new Trump administration just pulled back the curtain at the Department of Homeland Security. They found our government was sending millions of dollars to Muslim groups with alleged links to terrorists. This isn’t just fixing a mistake. This is stopping a betrayal.

A Decade of Dangerous Negligence

This whole mess was uncovered by a conservative watchdog group, the Middle East Forum. Good on them for doing the digging. Their report found that over the last ten years, DHS and FEMA gave over $25 million to these shady groups. Think about that timeline. That’s the Obama and Biden years we’re talking about.

The new team at DHS isn’t messing around. An official said they are taking the report “very seriously.” They’ve already cut off 49 projects. That move alone saves us a cool $8 million. They’re also trying to get back any money that hasn’t been spent yet. It’s about time someone in Washington cared about our money.

And who was getting this cash? The list is just as bad as you’d think.

The report further cited $250,000 awarded to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which DHS has accused of having “Hamas ties.” Another $750,000, according to the report, went to mosques in Michigan and Texas that DHS described as “outposts for Iran’s revolutionary brand of Shi’a Islamism,” including the Islamic Center of America and the Islamic House of Wisdom near Detroit, as well as the Islamic Ahlul Bayt Association in Austin.

Radical Groups Reveal Their True Colors

So, what did the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have to say about this? Did they apologize for taking taxpayer money while having these alleged ties? Of course not. They had a complete meltdown.

A CAIR spokesperson didn’t even try to deny the claims. Instead, they attacked the new administration. They called the watchdog that exposed them an “Israel First hate website.” Then, they tried to change the subject by talking about Gaza. It’s the same old playbook. When caught, they scream “racism” and blame America and Israel. They just showed everyone who they really are.

Common Sense Makes a Comeback

Thankfully, things are different now. The DHS is putting in a new, tougher vetting system. A DHS official said it perfectly: “We don’t want to be empowering groups that could be causing a threat to our community here in the United States.”

Is that really so much to ask? It’s the most basic job the government has: keep us safe. For years, Washington failed at that simple job. They were too busy being politically correct to care about who they were handing our money to.

Look, this isn’t complicated. Defunding these groups is just common sense. It’s about national security. It’s about respecting the American taxpayer. It shows that elections matter. We finally have a leader in charge who puts America, and the safety of its citizens, first.

Key Takeaways

• The Trump DHS cut millions in funding to groups with alleged terrorist ties.
• This action reverses a decade of reckless spending under Obama and Biden.
• Conservative watchdogs were vital in exposing this national security risk.
• Radical groups responded with attacks, not denials, showing their true colors.
