FBI Director Kash Patel said the Bureau is investigating the source of funding that is fueling the riots in Los Angeles, California.
Sections of Los Angeles have seen rioters engaging in property damage, looting stores, clashing with law enforcement authorities, and vandalizing police vehicles. The riots are a response to a series of raids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out in the area last week. However, many view the unrest as a statement against the Trump administration’s mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
In a statement to Just the News, Patel confirmed that the FBI “is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”
Just the News noted that the possibility of money sent by migrants to their families in Mexico could be a sticking point for those in the city.
Month-old footage of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatening to “mobilize” over legislative proposals to tax remittances to Mexico resurfaced in light of the protests, raising concerns about whether rhetoric from south of the border could be inflaming tensions. Sheinbaum responded to the violence on Monday, condemning it but promising Mexican government commitment to all Mexicans, “regardless of immigration status.”
It is not clear who could be funding the unrest in Los Angeles, but some have pointed to groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) as a possible culprit.
The DataRepublican X account listed several groups as possible funders. These include non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as CHIRLA, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSLWEB). Others also made the connection.
Seems like Kash says a lot of things
Finally, some common sense police work.
"What do I win if I guess right?"
Extreme hope those funding this are arrested and end up in prison.
CONTEXT for Los Angeles Riots: Approximately 12.3 million Mexicans live abroad, both legally and illegally, with 97% of them living and working in the United States, according to BBVA Research. Last year Mexicans living abroad sent $64.75 billion back home in remittances, largely from Texas and California to states in central and western Mexico.
According to data recently released, in April of this year remittances back to Mexico dropped 12.1%. The Mexico central bank said April saw 8.1% fewer transactions than a year earlier, that’s down to 12.4 million transactions. For Mexico this is a devastating outcome.
How dependent is the Mexican Govt on these remittances? Remittances sent home by Mexicans working outside the country surpassed petroleum revenues in 2015. {link} Oil Revenue in 2015 was 23.4 billion; remittances were $24.8 billion. Last year in 2024 remittances were $64.75 billion…. and in April of this year the remittances dropped by 12.1%.
If you don’t think there is a critical financial motive in this, think again.
CALIFORNIA – About 700 U.S. Marines were mobilized Monday to support the California National Guard to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles during protests there, officials said.
The mobilization of the Marines from their base in Twentynine Palms, California, is temporary, to give time for additional National Guard troops to arrive.
Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump said he would support arresting California Gov. Gavin Newsom for purportedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles.
Trump’s comment came shortly before Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta said they would sue Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for deploying National Guard troops to deal with protests over those enforcement actions.
The suit will ask a judge to rule that Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard was unlawful and to set aside the president’s order.
[…] Meanwhile, federal prosecutors charged labor leader David Huerta with felony conspiracy to impede an officer. Huerta, president of SEUI California, was arrested on Friday during a protest in L.A.
He appeared Monday in federal court, a judge ordered him released on a $50,000 bond, and warned him to keep away from federal agents and federal operations. (more)
Anyone who was following politics in 2007 and 2008 knows exactly what role the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) played in supporting candidate Barack Obama.
As Obama and Hillary Clinton battled for control of the Democrat apparatus, Barack made a deal with SEIU President Andy Stern. If the purple orcs would activate -violently if needed- on Obama’s behalf, when he became President Obama would remove the healthcare liability from the union retirement by creating nationalized healthcare, Obamacare.
Andy Stern agreed to the deal, marshalled his orcs and that was the army the Chicago machine used to defeat the Clinton machine. It was a bloody battle, and in the aftermath the PUMAs were born (Public Unity My Ass). SEIU President Stern became the #1 White House visitor to see Obama in 2009 and 2010, and the rest as they say is history.
The Chicago machine behind Obama is deeply enmeshed with classic communist objectives. In descending level of ideological severity, you will note: SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO and the UFCW. All of these labor organization are open borders activists, radical leftists with severe ideological leadership who know how to weaponize their membership to act as ‘shock troops’ within the U.S. political system.
That’s the background for the SEIU to align with La Raza and attack the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on Los Angeles.
With Democrats out of power in DC all the foot soldiers have once again been activated to achieve political objectives. ICE is the convenient target, but the larger objective is to create street level crisis similar to the BLM riots in 2020 and get back into power. Violence is once again accepted in order to achieve their political goals. The media runs cover for the violence, continually downplaying it – even as it gets worse.
These are the same communist foot soldiers behind Occupy Wall Street in 2012. These are the same foot soldiers who attacked Donald Trump supporters in 2016 (San Jose). These are the same foot soldiers behind the Minnesota riots in 2020. A mixture of Black Bloc radicals, Anarchists, ANTIFA, and radical race-based activist groups like BLM, La Raza and CAIR.
The organization and funding come from the labor unions and political activist groups atop them.
Before I got to the article, I thought the title was sarcastic.
Someone is bankrolling all these unemployed illegals and misfits.
Who?
Yeah. Which one of those cinder blocks is mine?
Kash Patel and Pam Bondi haters! crickets from you again!
or will you supply us with more of your infantile and mindless diatribes?
Maxine Waters was unceremoniously denied access to an ICE Detention facility after they had detained a leader from the SEIU. She looks visibly shaken at his detention, mentioning him by name, unreasonably concerned in my opinion: https://countylocalnews.com/breaking/2025/06/08/breaking-maxine-waters-denied-entry-in-shocking-la-standoff/
I think this mob was being monitored and tracked from the get go.
“I thought the title was sarcastic.”
That was exactly my take, too.

***************
As does Bondi. Mostly its sound and fury, signifying nothing.
If you pretend to be a patriot but your real purpose is anti-MAGA, then the only possible cause of your efforts is low IQ.
“...but some have pointed to groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) as a possible culprit.”
But who is funding them or whoever? Trace the money back and more than likely it’s Soros and/or democrat deep state.
Post # 18 is for anyone on here targeting Kash Patel with the usual empty criticisms.
