In today’s video, I react to Carl DeMaio’s fiery claim titled “LA Riots Are Taxpayer Funded!”, where he argues that state and federal dollars are directly fueling violent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

He highlights organizations like CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of LA)—which has received more than $34 million in government grants, including federal DHS support—as being backed by taxpayer funds.
DeMaio contends that these resources helped coordinate protests, including unrest that escalated into property destruction and clashes with law enforcement .

Here’s how I break it down:

1. Are Tax Dollars Actually Funding Protests?
DeMaio cites grant data showing CHIRLA and similar groups with federal and state money.

He claims a portion of those funds went toward organizing protest activities—not just charitable aid .

2. What We Know from Coverage
CHIRLA received $34M in state grants and ~$1.2M from DHS for immigration services—but DHS funding was cut by March 2024.

DeMaio's interview on The John Kobylt Show asserts some tax money went to entities “helping organize these protests”.

CHIRLA denies coordinating violent protests, stating they only held press events and legal observer deployments.

I'll break down DeMaio's claims, cross-check grant details, and ask: Are we mixing up legal help for immigrants with riot coordination? Is this a case of political spin—or legitimate concern?
