Walgreens’ Support for Pro-Sanctuary City Groups Under Fire at Annual Shareholder Meeting

As Trump White House Seeks Legal Means to Punish Sanctuary Cities, Free Enterprise Project Goes After Corporate Sponsor of Far-Left Immigration Groups Pushing Illegal Policy.

Scottsdale, AZ / Washington, DC – Walgreens executives today vowed to review the company’s charitable giving policies after being questioned by a representative of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project (FEP) at the annual meeting of Walgreens shareholders. FEP’s director confronted the retail drug giant’s leadership about the company’s donations to racialized groups that promote extreme policies in violation of federal law, such as sanctuary cities protecting illegal immigrants.

“I am pleased Walgreens committed to reviewing its charitable giving. It’s a shame, however, that executives wanted no part in answering the substance of our question during this public meeting,” said National Center General Counsel and FEP Director Justin Danhof, Esq., who attended today’s meeting and questioned Walgreens leadership. “Whether its executives acknowledge it or not, Walgreens is funding radical groups lobbying for illegal sanctuary city policies. They say their charitable contributions are not intended to weaken our immigration policies, but they were quick to cut me off when I reminded them that their money is fungible. Once Walgreens donates to a charity, it has no legal right to direct the charity’s actions.”

The wesbites of UnidosUS (formerly the National Council of La Raza) and the League of Latin American Citizens (LULAC) – both supporters of sanctuary cities and amnesty for illegal immigrants – indicate receiving charitable support from Walgreens.  MORE HERE
