FIRST ON FOX: Chairman Jason Smith, R-Missouri, and the House Ways and Means Committee are pressing the IRS to strip a California nonprofit of its tax-exempt status, alleging the Middle East Children's Alliance has ties to organizations linked to a Foreign Terrorist Organization and the Neville Roy Singham's pro-CCP network, citing increasingly opaque foreign grant disclosures.In a letter to Internal Revenue Service CEO Frank Bisignano, Smith and all GOP members of the committee are calling for an investigation and the revocation of the Middle East Children's Alliance tax-exempt status after the committee says it found alarming ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Palestinian territories, a U.S.-designation Foreign Terrorist Organization."Our investigation uncovered alarming connections between the Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) and organizations and individuals linked directly to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization," Smith told Fox News Digital in a statement.CRUZ PUSHES BILL TO HOLD TAX-EXEMPT SPONSORS ACCOUNTABLE AS DOJ PROBES SINGHAM NETWORK"Even more concerning, as MECA’s annual foreign grantmaking exploded from roughly $1.8 million to more than $10 million after the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, their paper trail showing in which that money went practically vanished, he added.
