What is the disturbing report about China's involvement with U.S. nonprofits?
It's Wednesday, the 21st of May. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world stage. All right, let's get briefed. We begin today with a disturbing report. The Chinese regime may be bankrolling a U.S. group that teaches illegal immigrants how to evade ICE. A new investigation has traced money from the Chinese Communist Party-linked entities straight into the hands of this controversial nonprofit. Now, I'd like to say that I'm surprised that the Chinese Communist Party might engage in these types of shenanigans. But, well, I'm the opposite of surprised. Later in the show, new details about an Israeli covert operation in Gaza. Special forces disguised as women infiltrated deep into enemy territory to eliminate a senior terror commander. Plus, Europe cracks down on Russia's secretive shadow fleet. Nearly 200 oil tankers now face sanctions as the EU and UK move to choke off oil revenues that help fund Putin's war machine. And in today's back of the brief, a stunning fall from grace.
What covert operation did Israel conduct in Gaza?
The Navy's former second in command has been convicted in a historic corruption case, becoming the highest ranking officer ever found guilty of a federal crime while in uniform. But first, today's PDB Spotlight.
What historic conviction occurred in the U.S. Navy?
We'll begin today with a look at the subversive activities of China's communist regime and their latest attempts to destabilize American society from within by undermining US immigration laws.
What are the allegations against the Chinese American Planning Council?
Now, a disturbing investigation by some intrepid reporters at the Daily Caller News Foundation has uncovered evidence that the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, is actively using a shadowy financial web of Chinese government-linked entities to fund an American nonprofit group accused of trying to facilitate illegal immigration.
How is the House Homeland Security Committee responding to the allegations?
The organization in question called the Chinese American Planning Council, or CPC, has previously been caught coaching illegal immigrants on how to evade apprehension by immigration and customs enforcement agents or ICE agents, all while raking in millions of dollars in grants from the federal government. Of course, the federal government is giving them money. According to financial records reviewed exclusively by The Daily Caller, the CPC, a nonprofit based in New York, has received up to $445,000 in funding from sources with links to the Chinese government since 2018. Some of the organizations bankrolling the nonprofit include the state-owned Bank of China, the state-run Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the Bank of East Asia, whose executives have served as delegates to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, where they received directives straight from the CCP, the, again, Chinese Communist Party.
Another notable group linked to the nonprofit group is a fellow New York-based nonprofit called the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, whose billionaire patron, the aforementioned Wang, regularly meets with CCP leaders in China. The CPC, which is a nonprofit, their extensive ties have caught the attention of members of Congress and raised the prospect that the Chinese government is actively trying to undermine the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, a Republican from Tennessee, told the Daily Caller News Foundation, quote, I'm deeply concerned that Americans' hard-earned taxpayer dollars were potentially used by an NGO, a nonprofit, to help illegal aliens subvert our nation's laws. Even more troubling is the Chinese American Planning Council's alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
He added that his committee would continue investigating the nonprofit, along with any other NGOs that are using taxpayer dollars to, quote, make a mockery of our laws. The House Homeland Security Committee first announced their investigation of the nonprofit group CPC in mid-April over allegations that they've been using federal funds to facilitate illegal immigration. The committee took action after footage surfaced allegedly showing the CPC's chief policy and public affairs officer teaching illegal immigrants on the most effective ways to dodge arrest by ICE agents.
