Congresswoman Virginia Foxx is scrutinizing the union representing Legal Aid lawyers after it passed an anti-Israel resolution that misrepresented the majority views of its members, according to a request for information document obtained exclusively by the Sun.

Nearly 35 percent of 1,637 voters in the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys opposed its resolution, adopted in December, that demanded “a Cease-fire in Gaza, an End to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, and Support for Workers’ Political Speech.” The union is facing a lawsuit from four of its own members and could lose funding for engaging in what critics say is a breach of fair representation and a conflict of interest for public defenders.
