Is the Government Still Funding the Immigration Industrial Complex? Trump Wants Answers
31st May 2026
Is the federal government still funneling taxpayer dollars to some of the leftist activist groups that called the shots during President Joe Biden’s administration?
The Trump White House is asking federal agencies to investigate past and potentially continuing funding for a host of nonprofits, many of which are associated with aggressive promotion of leftist causes.
On May 13, the White House Office of Management and Budget issued a budget data request seeking comprehensive information on the federal tax dollars supporting 49 nonprofits.
In the document, OMB asks each federal agency to include all grants, cooperative agreements, loans, contracts, and other monetary awards, even if the provision of the funding is under litigation.
The request focuses on fiscal years 2024, 2025, and estimated obligations in fiscal year 2026.
A person familiar with OMB’s request told the Daily Signal that the request might capture data not accessible on USASpending.gov, the publicly-available database of federal grants and contracts.
The list includes many of the leftist activist groups that sent staff and policy ideas to the Biden administration, influencing the federal government in a “woke” direction.
