DEERPARK, N.Y.—A New Paltz-based group with ties to China is using questionable environmental claims to raise money in its years-long effort to target a group of Chinese Americans and their performing arts school in Deerpark, New York.

The group, NYEnvironcom, launched a fundraiser on Facebook in late September, claiming it was seeking funding for an environmental lawsuit against the arts school.
