Several Republican senators are pressing the IRS to investigate nonprofit organizations that have backed pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, reported The Hill.

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, along with 15 other GOP lawmakers, asked that IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel probe Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation , the Tides Foundation, and the Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation , saying they "have engaged in conduct warranting revocation of their tax-exempt statuses on the basis of their financial support of" the National Students for Justice in Palestine group.

"In light of this abhorrent support for an FTO, we call on you to initiate an investigation to determine whether financial supporters of NJSP ... have engaged in conduct warranting their tax-exempt status to be stripped." The information, said Ernst, "provides ample grounds for you to initiate your own investigation of these entities' tax-exempt status."
