What specific documents has the House Judiciary Committee received or released regarding CHIRLA and DHS grants?

1. The letter: a broad, public demand for “all documents and communications”

On June 24, 2025, Chair Jim Jordan and subcommittee chairs Tom McClintock and Andy Biggs publicly posted a letter to CHIRLA demanding “all documents and communications” related to any federal funds the organization received, plus “a detailed breakdown of how the funds were spent, including any supporting documentation,” framing the request around CHIRLA’s alleged receipt of roughly $450,000 in DHS grants for citizenship education and training between October 2021 and September 2024 and alleging a connection to anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles ^{[1] [2]}.

2. What the committee has released publicly so far

The committee’s public materials include the June 24 demand letter itself listed on its letters and documents pages, showing the GOP chairmen’s request and the political framing of the inquiry, but the documents made available by the committee in these sources are the committee’s own correspondence and not CHIRLA’s grant accounting or DHS grant files; the House Judiciary website hosts letters and documents pages where that demand letter appears ^{[2] [3]}.

3. What reporting says about DHS grants to CHIRLA — and what’s unverified

Republican committee materials and allied reporting cite DataRepublican financial records alleging CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in government grants in the fiscal year ending June 2023 and emphasize approximately $450,000 in DHS grants tied to citizenship education programs from 2021–2024, but the sources provided do not include DHS contractual grants, grant award notices, or line‑item expenditure records produced by DHS or CHIRLA to the committee in response to the letter — meaning the underlying federal grant documents and recipient expenditure vouchers have not been shown in the reporting supplied here ^[1].

4. Political framing and competing agendas in the release

The public release of the demand letter by Judiciary Committee Republicans is itself a tool of oversight and messaging: it raises questions about federal funding to immigrant-advocacy groups while simultaneously publicizing the committee’s allegations; this aligns with the committee majority’s broader oversight posture toward DHS and immigration policy, as seen in prior subpoenas and record demands directed at DHS officials and data ^{[4] [5]}, while CHIRLA and immigrant-rights advocates could view the move as political pressure intended to chill advocacy — the sources present the committee’s request but do not include CHIRLA’s response or DHS’s internal grant documents, so the political contest over interpretation remains unsubstantiated in the supplied material ^{[1] [2]}.

5. What has not been produced publicly, according to the record available

The reporting and committee document listings in the provided sources do not document that the committee has obtained or released DHS grant award letters, grant agreements, budget justifications, federal drawdown reports, invoices, receipts, or CHIRLA internal accounting records that would substantively trace the use of DHS funds; the public material is limited to the committee’s demand letter and its claims about prior grant receipts, without accompanying primary federal grant records supplied in these sources ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

6. Where verification would come from and the limits of available reporting

Definitive answers about what specific DHS grant files or CHIRLA expenditure records the committee has received or released would require either subsequent committee postings of produced documents, FOIA releases from DHS, or a published CHIRLA response presenting its federal grant documentation; none of the supplied sources provide those produced documents, so reporting can confirm only that a formal request was issued and publicized, not that the requested grant files have been turned over or shared publicly ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
