As protests over police brutality and systemic racism in the U.S. justice system continues across the nation, a new analysis from government watchdog Accountable.US finds that nearly 40 different police-affiliated organizations have received as much as $15.8 million in COVID-19 relief aid from the Trump administration. At least sixteen law enforcement organizations received nearly $14 million from the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the CARES Act program that was billed as a lifeline for struggling mom-and-pop businesses to weather the pandemic. The remainder of organizations were awarded money under the less prominent Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.
