Letter to the acting IRS Commissioner and CEO of the IRS from Chairman Jason Smith asking them to investigate and revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofits it had previously referred to the IRS on September 24, 2024. These organizations are Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation, American Muslims for Palestine, Alliance for Global Justice, Islamic Relief, Jewish Voice for Peace, the People’s Forum, the Tides Foundation, United Hands Relief, and Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation. It also reiterates calls in a June 10, 2024 committee letter to revoke People Media’s Project tax exempt status.

The letter also notes that President Trump’s September 25, 2025 National Security Memorandum directs the IRS Commissioner “to ensure that no tax-exempt entities are directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism.”
