Legal Aid DC, which provides civil legal services for low-income people in Washington, DC, has been highly critical of law enforcement and immigration laws.
As Legal Aid's Amanda Korber noted in the article, we are concerned, especially given the ongoing protest movement, about any solution that involves more police and policing in DC public housing. #BlackLivesMatterDC https://t.co/EX73qgZGmM

The group expressed concern about increased police presence in public housing amid the 2020 protests and riots, and later expressed solidarity with the protests following the death of George Floyd, despite some turn into riots
Additionally, the company supported the Sanctuary Securities Act that sought to establish DC as a sanctuary city, limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
This aligns with Harris' previous statements advocating for the decriminalization of illegal border crossing and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's support for making Minnesota a sanctuary state.

The revelation adds to the criticism Harris has faced for his support of Black Lives Matter protests and the Minnesota Freedom Fund, drawing scrutiny from former President Donald Trump and his allies.

The choice of Walz as his running mate has intensified criticism due to his handling of the riots in Minneapolis and St. Paul in 2020, while his support for legislation providing benefits for illegal immigrants in Minnesota has also raised concerns.
In 2020, Tim Walz allowed BLM and ANTIFA to riot all over Minneapolis. Kamala Harris used her X account to help break the Minneapolis rioters out of jail. Ironically, Tim and Kamala will call President Trump a “threat to democracy.”

Tax disclosures reveal that Harris and Emhoff gave more than $20,000 to about six to nine different groups between 2021 and 2023, raising questions about the underlying motivations and political affiliations of the recipients of their contributions.
The donations to Legal Aid DC have sparked more debate about the second family's alignment with organizations that promote anti-police rhetoric and sanctuary city policies amid ongoing law enforcement and immigration discourse in the face of the next presidential election.
