Several civil rights and advocacy organizations have filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles for failing to release documents regarding nearly $500,000 in federal grants from the Trump Administration to the City under the controversial and highly criticized Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) program.
The City of Los Angeles has uncritically adopted CVE despite its flaws and largely without community transparency. We filed this lawsuit to bring the city’s CVE program into the light of day so that we can fully assess its impact on our community's civil rights.
