One of the groups leading anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is a taxpayer-funded activist organization with ties to the Democratic Party, while another has links to the Chinese Communist Party.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) — which received tens of millions of dollars in government grants during the Biden administration — staged a rally last week to denounce Immigration and Customs Enforcement arresting illegal migrants across the city, including those convicted of heinous crimes.
Protests against ICE escalated since then, with more than 1,000 rioters taking to the streets, assaulting immigration officers, slashing tires and defacing public buildings, the Department of Homeland Security said, prompting President Trump to call in around 2,000 National Guard troops Sunday to quell the violence.
According to financial records obtained by DataRepublican, CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in government grants, mostly from the state of California, in the fiscal year ending June 2023, a jump from the $12 million it received the previous year.
The radical group also received around $450,000 in grants for “citizenship education and training” between October 2021 and September 2024 from the DHS — the very agency the group was protesting last week. The federal agency cut ties with the group and terminated any further funding in March, including clawing back nearly $101,000 in funding that had yet to be paid out.
A CHIRLA spokesman denied that the group had anything to do with the violence in a statement to The Post on Sunday.

I’m finding it a little harder to give.a damn this time around.
Just like in Minneapolis 2020. Yeah that's their story and they are sticking to it.
Screw these people. I have no patience with them.
Those people are pathetic nuts.
These are not protests. They are riots, and the California politicians and media are throwing gas on the fire. Illegals protesting with Mexican flags, some dressed like Hamas. Probably paid. Burn your damn city, then you can live in cardboard boxes under bridges.
All I see are Antifa in the streets .
Declare Antifa a terrorist group and arrest all the rich
leftists like Steve Jobs wife as terrorist funders .
Where are you Bondi ?
Do it now .
You clearly don’t understand what is going on here. Their plan is to destroy Western Civilization…and arguably it is working. You call them nuts while they turn the UK, France, and Germany into Islamic No-go zones. Far from “nuts”…they are clever…and EVIL. Wake up please!
It’s time to use .22s and start knee capping these idiots.
