GOP Investigates Chinese-American Planning Council Over ICE Evasion Using Over $1 Million Federal Funding Since 2022

Republican lawmakers Rep. Mark Green and Rep. Josh Brecheen have launched an investigation into the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC), a nonprofit organization that has received over $1 million in federal funding since 2022. The investigation centers on allegations that CPC employees used taxpayer-funded grants to advise undocumented immigrants on methods to evade apprehension by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This probe follows reports highlighting over $1.5 billion in legal service payments to undocumented immigrants through the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, Inc., and concerns about the impact of current border policies on migrant exploitation. The investigation is part of broader GOP scrutiny of federal funding and its role in immigration enforcement and border security issues.
