House Republicans are seeking to grant the Trump administration the sweeping authority to target nonprofits that don’t align with President Trump’s agenda. A measure included in the House Ways and Means Committee’s draft reconciliation bill would grant the treasury secretary the power to declare any nonprofit as a “terrorist-supporting organization” in order to strip it of its tax-exempt status. In a statement, the nonprofit Fight for the Future called the measure “a five-alarm fire for nonprofits nationwide,” adding, “This terribly thought-out legislation means that under the current administration, every environmental, racial justice, LGBTQ+, gender justice, immigration justice, and — particularly — any anti-genocide organization throughout the country may be on the chopping block.”
