Funding for anti-ICE protests is national…and international?
Dark money flows in abundance.

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.
