Lutheran groups push back on Elon Musk's allegation tax dollars were used for 'illegal' activity [View all]
Lutheran organizations are defending their work as the hundreds of millions in tax dollars given to help settle illegal immigrant children in the United States come under the microscope of Elon Musk and the Trump administration after Lt. Gen Micahel Flynn alleged their involvement in "money laundering."
In an X post published Saturday, Flynn, who briefly served as national security advisor in the first Trump administration, maintained that the "Lutheran" faith was using "religion" as a "money laundering operation."
He provided a screenshot of a spreadsheet documenting grants given to Lutheran-affiliated charitable organizations by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the weeks following the 2024 presidential election.
Flynn highlighted how Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service Inc. (now known as Global Refuge) received a total of $367.6 million in grants in the two-month period after the 2024 election. Global Refuge is one of about nine nonprofits authorized by the U.S. State Department to resettle refugees in the United States.
