"We strongly condemn the House Homeland Security Committee's baseless and politically motivated probe into more than 200 nonprofit organizations and religious groups that provide basic needs for children, immigrants, and other at-risk populations.
"These charities and non-governmental organizations feed the hungry, shelter the unhoused, and help the most vulnerable among us-addressing urgent needs that the government alone cannot meet. Each recipient of federal funding must undergo a rigorous vetting process and fulfill the responsibilities outlined in their contract.
"The Republican-led probe is not an investigation into the inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars. In fact, the Committee has targeted organizations that never received federal funding. Let's call it what it is: a political witch hunt. It is a deliberate attempt to intimidate and silence nonprofit organizations that provide services that the administration deems threatening to its political agenda.
"The Republicans' weaponization of government must end."
