Some people will do anything for money - our once great Republic is at war within - domestic and foreign entities are financing this insurrection.

 

Funding for anti-ICE protests is national…and international?

Dark money flows in abundance.

Susan Quinn | January 14, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

It’s bad enough when we recognize that the protests and riots taking place against ICE officers are being organized by anti-American sources, but when international groups get involved in organizing and funding, someone has to take action.

Last week, after an ICE agent shot Renee Good when she struck him with her car, FBI Director Kash Patel responded quickly and announced investigations into the money behind the protests:

FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Thursday that his agents are investigating the organizers and funders of anti-immigration enforcement protests for impeding law enforcement activities and endangering public safety.

‘The FBI is investigating paid protest campaigns throughout the country including organizers, protesters and funding sources that drive illicit activities,’ Patel said.

Congress followed suit: Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) teamed with Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) and wrote to multiple organizations, including CHIRLA, to inquire about their alleged involvement in the anti-ICE protests:

 

Kiley had this to say:

‘The NGO known as CHIRLA was centrally involved in the LA riots. The organization, which has previously sponsored a campaign to abolish ICE, alerted the rioters to where ICE operations were occurring in real time. The agitators would then show up and disrupt ICE activities, including through the use of violence….’

Although it may be challenging to uncover CHIRLA’s role, since they have ways of re-routing funds through other organizations, the inquiry will continue.

Now, this is where things go international. One bad actor, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), allegedly has ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — the PSL has been notably active in the protests against ICE agents, as well as the pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses last year:

One group involved with the protests last week that eventually evolved into riots over the weekend is the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) — a Marxist group with reported ties to the Chinese Communist Party. That group has also helped organize the anti-Israel protests recently ravaging college campuses.

PSL said that the demonstrators have ‘taken a courageous stand against Trump’s reign of terror targeting immigrant families’ and that those ‘taking to the streets’ are being falsely labeled as ‘rioters.’

The PSL is part of a larger network of protest and organizing groups which have connections to the Singham Network, a collective of nonprofits, fiscal sponsors, and alternative news sources tied to pro-CCP businessman Neville Roy Singham, Just the News previously reported.

And, with Soros dollars propping up many organizations, money is abundant:

Far left radical groups, including one that garnered a whopping $7.8 million from liberal billionaire George Soros, are behind the Minnesota ICE protests, according to a New York Post report. Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota.

Minneapolis ICE protests are being driven by activist networks that organize demonstrations, legal assistance, and unified messaging as federal immigration enforcement activities continue to draw scrutiny. Among the groups involved is Indivisible Twin Cities, which does not list its leadership on its website. Other prominent organizers include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose Minnesota chapter executive director Jaylani Hussein has taken a visible role at recent demonstrations opposing ICE operations.

It will be a challenge for Congress, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies to find ways to connect these unlawful activities and those funding them. The Left will protest that their First Amendment rights are being violated. But the spigot must be closed if we are ever to stop our communities from devolving into chaos.

 

Protest lawfully! Protest with resistance to Federal Law Enforcement - is an absolute example of stupidity! Pay the price!

 

ICE protests and riots: Rallying to aid and abet evil

What is becoming of this country?

Eric Utter | January 13, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Riots are taking place across the country in support of a person who was an inveterate obstructor of law enforcement and a Trump hater.

Just as massive and violent riots took place after George Floyd, a career criminal, druggie, ne’er-do-well, and thug died in police custody several years ago after attempting to use a counterfeit bill to purchase a pack of cigarettes.

Yet there were no massive protests after 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was murdered by a career offender while riding in a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina. The assailant, Decarlos Brown, had previously been arrested — and released — 14 times.

Zarutska, who “loved America” according to her family, worked at a pizza restaurant and a senior center, and took care of animals in the neighborhood.

Maybe if she wasn’t white, and had an extensive criminal record, many would have protested her death. In fact, I’m certain they would have. It’s too bad America didn’t love her back.

But this has become a pattern in the U.S.

Law enforcement is reviled and attacked, while criminals are given “sanctuary,” and are released with little or no time served if they are ever apprehended. And then, if they accost and threaten law enforcement officers and are subsequently killed, they are treated as beloved martyrs, heroic symbols of “resistance” against the white patriarchy, capitalism, fascism, and xenophobia.

But it gets worse than that.

Competence, personal discipline, success, manners, hygiene, intelligence, logic, the traditional family and traditional mores -- and what used to be considered simple human decency are all mocked, libeled, and slandered as tools of “white supremacy.” Mostly by white people, especially the truly awful “AWFULs.”

Enter pop star Zara Larsson, a Swedish national, who recently used social media, in the form of an Instagram post, to state: “I love immigrants. I love criminals. I love trans people. I love abortions. I love queers. I love slutty women. I love contraception. I love welfare. I love socialism. I f****** hate ICE”

Larsson is a multi-platinum recording artist who boasts nearly 10 million Instagram followers. And she loves everything that destroys individual lives in specific and society in general. There isn’t a better definition of evil than that.

So this sickness afflicts the West in general, though that doesn't make it any easier to watch what has been happening to the (formerly) United States.

So it happens that if a mountain lion attacks a human, more “GoFundMe” money is pledged to the mountain lion than the human, a Christian priest is punished for reciting Bible passages while Muslim call to prayers ring out five times a day in several of our major cities, abortion is called “women’s health care,” people are arrested for silently praying outside of “women’s health care” centers, and Somali Learing Centers dot the landscape. You can’t misgender kids, but you must be in favor of mutilating or removing their genitalia.

All prior knowledge, wisdom, lived experience, and traditions are wrong. Sloth, crime, entitlement, bitterness, anti-racism racism, lies, and big government are good, everything that has heretofore been considered good is bad. This is, in effect, what so many people across the West are saying and why they are rioting. Choosing crime and chaos over decency-- and overtly choosing evil over good is sick. It is tragic. And it is an immediate and existential danger to our republic and others.

Forget NATO. The fate of Western nations — and indeed the world -- hinges on this battle between good and evil. A battle that is currently being fought almost entirely by one side.

Pray for our deliverance, as only the Lord GOD can save us if we refuse to save ourselves.

 

Protest peacefully - yes but when you restrict Federal Law Enforcement performing its Constitutional duties - you are a law breaker!

 

Dispersing illegal ICE protesters

Peacefully protesting and airing grievances is in American DNA, so too is respecting law enforcement in a law-abiding country.

Noel S. Williams | January 14, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Peacefully protesting and airing grievances is in American DNA, so too is respecting law enforcement in a law-abiding country. Many ICE protesters do neither.

By all means, protest peacefully, including obtaining the necessary permits to march down Main Street. However, ICE protesters who interfere in law enforcement operations are not above the law. Perhaps we need more creative ways to deal with those who cross the thin blue line, literally.

At that point they have become insurrectionist militants who insinuate themselves into constitutionally legitimate ICE operations; fomenting chaos, they no longer deserve the moniker of conscientious protester. They no longer deserve to be mollycoddled by protections provided by the country they despise. They need to be dispersed indignantly (at a minimum).

Goldfinger is a classic James Bond flick from the early 1960s. There’s a rip-roaring scene wherein would-be Fort Knox robbers disperse gas canisters to put the guarding soldiers to sleep. One wishes such techniques could be deployed against the anti-ICE militants -- put them out of their misery, at least temporarily, while we legitimately seize illegal-illegal aliens (i.e., those who commit crimes while here illegally).

What about an ear-piercing sonic boom? Sonic weapons were very effective in rendering narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro’s guards useless when our elite military men nabbed him. Exposing them to the sonic boom would surely shut up those hysterical leftist women with their obnoxious bullhorns. Let’s see how “brave” the little women really are when not being pampered by patient and indulgent agents.

Presuming secrecy has already been compromised, and ungodly obstructionist noise reverberates all over, here’s another potential method to disperse the illegal alien-loving, American-hating, militants: blare out some patriotic tunes.

Have you ever been stuck in an elevator that plays unwelcome music, like the song “Feelings” (which should never have seen the light of day)? It’s torture! Well, imagine how quickly the anti-ICE cockroaches would scamper away if some of these tunes were put on shuffle mode: ”God Bless the USA,” “America the Beautiful,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” etc. For those who dare remain in ICE’s presence, then crank up “YMCA.” For the pièce de résistance, there’s always the bouncy rap song “Ice Ice Baby.” That’d sure drown out their ghastly screams and honking as our agents apprehend aliens who are doubly illegal.

Thanks to the brave men and woman of ICE. Now is the time to up the ante, and that includes intolerance of anti-American militants who eagerly avail themselves of American values, despite detesting us. Their interfering methods constitute unlawful aiding and abetting (even insurrectionist) protests. Those who can’t be dispersed should be given due process… as they are removed from civil society. After all, they are uncivil in the extreme, and don’t deserve America’s beneficence.

Next up: The Soros clan. Both the gnarly, grotesque Dad (who should focus on his homeland’s problems, rather than the country that afforded him wealth), and his weak son who succumbed to the dark side. What are they even doing here if they hate us so much? Talk about “the enemy within.” Give Soros and his henchmen the “Goldfinger”: “No, Mr. Soros, I expect you to… [leave]” Few deserve sleeping gas more, or even a resounding, incapacitating sonic boom to put the fear of God into them.

 

Of course 'sanctuary cities and states will complain because the Federal government will withhold federal funds because of their illicit, illegal actions. Money talks!

 

Trump says he will cut federal funds to sanctuary cities and states — beginning in 3 weeks

Carlos Garcia January 13, 2026 theblaze.com

His previous efforts to cut federal funds were thwarted in court.

President Donald Trump said that he would seek to end federal funds to sanctuary cities and those states that have sanctuary cities by the beginning of February.

Trump made the comments during an address at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also advocated cutting credit card interest rates to a maximum of 10%.

'It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.'

"Starting February 1, we are not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," the president said.

"It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we’re not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities," he added.

When asked to elaborate on the decision, he offered no further details.

"You'll see," Trump said. "It'll be significant."

The Department of Justice had previously identified 11 states they considered to be sanctuary states that included California, New York, and Connecticut.

Trump has tried to cut federal funds twice before but was blocked by judges' rulings in both instances. In early January, he tried to cut $10 billion from child-care services but was blocked by a New York judge. In October, he cut almost $8 billion of funding from states that voted for Kamala Harris, but that effort was blocked by a Washington, D.C., judge.

He also touted his record on the economy during the speech.

"Growth is exploding, productivity is soaring, investment is booming, incomes are rising. Inflation is defeated," Trump said.

New York Immigration Coalition president Murad Awawdeh released a statement condemning the president's decision against sanctuary cities.

"Punishing states and cities that refuse to participate in the federal government's inhumane and cruel attacks on immigrants is simply a playground bullying tactic. New York's hardworking families, children, and elderly will pay the price if Trump gets his way," Awawdeh wrote.

"Federal funding belongs to us all, as part of our government's responsibility to ensure needs like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and public safety are met," he added. "We expect New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions to call this bully's bluff by litigating this egregious violation of our City and State's 10th Amendment rights and the federal government's responsibility to provide essential services to all counties, cities and states."
