O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) dropped another epic undercover video on Thursday, exposing the director of non-profit the Vera Institute for revealing the group uses a secretive notification system to warn illegal aliens about potential incoming ICE raids.
Santiago Mueckay, Director of Advocacy for the Vera Institute of Justice, is the man who was clandestinely recorded by an OMG journalist admitting his organization helps illegal immigrants evade federal law enforcement deportation operations.
OMG, James O’Keefe’s outlet launched after being ousted from Project Veritas, reported, “The Vera Institute, a long-established nonprofit known for its criminal justice reform work, has in recent years expanded into immigration. According to Mueckay, that expansion includes deploying alert systems to notify illegal immigrants of approaching ICE raids, building online databases to monitor ICE activity, and storing information about government holding and transfer locations.”
“If you see someone [ICE agents], you can text the group, and then it’ll go on a website… so people can avoid the area,” Mueckay told the undercover journalist, admitting Vera operates “a couple of databases” that follow ICE trends such as where agents are detaining or transporting illegal immigrants. “Sometimes we have to sue them to get information,” he added, referring to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
“Despite the federal government no longer directly funding some of Vera’s immigration programs under the current administration, recent tax filings show the nonprofit took in over $263 million in revenue. One anonymous donor reportedly gave over $188 million in a single year, while two others combined for over $35 million,” according to OMG.
Vera responded to a comment request from OMG, stating, “Our immigration work expands access to counsel and representation for people facing deportation. We do not track or engage in notifications about ICE arrest and enforcement actions.”
The Trump administration also responded, with White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson writing, “ICE Officers are facing an 830% increase in assaults against them because of unhinged rhetoric from activists and Democrat politicians smearing heroic ICE officers… Anyone who uses these or other apps to commit crimes will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
A U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson also responded to OMG, saying, “This Department of Justice will not tolerate groups or apps that assist illegal aliens with evading capture and disclose the location of our law enforcement. Any threats to the safety of federal agents will be taken with the utmost seriousness and thoroughly investigated to ensure justice is served.”
The non-profit’s director could cause the organization to be in legal trouble if his remarks were accurate as it could be considered obstructing to help illegal aliens avoiding federal law enforcement.
