Black Lives Matter (BLM) has been ordered by the Justice Departments in two states to cease their illegal activity and hand over all financial records.
California and Washington sent letters to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc. at the end of January.

The Democrat-run states are threatening the far-left organization with legal action over serious violations of financial reporting laws
“We take these matters seriously and have taken immediate action,” a spokesperson for the BLMGNF told the Washington Examiner. “We have immediately engaged compliance counsel to address any issues related to state fundraising compliance. In the interim, we have shut down online fundraising as we work quickly to ensure we are meeting all compliance requirements.”
Washingtonexaminer.com reports: The donation button that used to be featured prominently on BLM’s website was nowhere to be found as of Wednesday evening.
The California Department of Justice told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday that “BLMGNF is prohibited from soliciting donations so long as its status is listed as delinquent.”
Despite the notice, BLM accepted a $1 donation from a Washington Examiner reporter based in California on Wednesday morning.
The California DOJ said Wednesday afternoon that it would not confirm or deny an investigation into BLM so as to “protect its integrity.”
BLM also received notice from the state of Washington on Jan. 5 to “immediately cease” all fundraising activities in the state. Washington warned the charity that it could face fines of $2,000 for each violation, but as recently as Monday, the charity accepted a $1 contribution from a Washington resident.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita previously said BLM’s refusal to answer basic questions about its finances and operations fits a common and disturbing pattern.
“It appears that the house of cards may be falling, and this happens eventually with nearly every scam, scheme, or illegal enterprise,” Rokita, a Republican, said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “I see patterns that scams kind of universally take: failure to provide board members, failure to provide even executive directors, failure to make your filings available. It all leads to suspicion.”
Rokita said he would not confirm or deny that his office is investigating BLM, but he said the Washington Examiner’s reporting on the group “certainly cause us to be concerned.”
BLM’s charity registration is also out of compliance in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia.

what is really going on? Why now? the DOJ didn’t just get up this morning and decide to do their job. I am not buying this.
Maybe the penny dropped with them that they were rhe ultinate target.

Agreed. BLM, has the full support of the ELITES.

Cali wants their tax money, nothing else matters.
Yes, I was wondering about that, too – especially since it’s California and WA, 2 very leftie states. I used to live in Calif, everyone in govt is part of deep state and on the leftie bandwagon. Things that make you go hmmm…I did read that Gov. Gavin Gruesome of Calif was executed though. Hmmm..
executed? what?
Oh dear, it must really suck to pretend to care about others when you are stealing all funds to buy yourself mansions and get caught out.
Set up by those who Wasps really.
Who HATE WASPS.
Color me skeptical. Because I am.
The government thrives on divisiveness. BLM qualifies.
