A Republican-controlled committee in the U.S. House has issued a subpoena for records from The People's Forum, a New York City-based activist organization. The move puts the Manhattan group under congressional scrutiny as lawmakers seek information related to its funding and activities.
The subpoena comes from the House Ways and Means Committee, according to the report. The panel is examining documents connected to the organization, which has been involved in local demonstrations and immigrant rights activism in New York.
The People's Forum has been visible at protests involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reflecting its role in broader activist efforts in the city. The latest congressional action suggests that House Republicans are widening their review beyond public demonstrations to look at how the group operates and is financed.
While the full scope of the inquiry was not detailed in the available report, the subpoena marks a significant escalation. It signals formal demands for records from a high-profile activist group that has played a public role in New York protest politics.
