Who’s behind the anti-ICE protests?

On a daily basis, ICE officers battle protesters who oppose the enforcement of immigration law. These attacks are coming from multiple sources, and challenge not only the effectiveness of ICE, but endanger the agents’ lives. June 9 was the onset of the protests in Los Angeles, which are actually being funded by our tax dollars:

Los Angeles descended into turmoil this weekend as left-leaning activist organizations, funded by taxpayer dollars, are believed to have intensified protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). What started as a relatively small demonstration opposing the Trump administration’s crackdown on criminal illegal immigrants rapidly escalated into violent clashes with law enforcement. Groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), closely connected to Democratic leaders and allegedly supported by billionaires with foreign ties, have been fueling the unrest while claiming to defend illegal immigrants’ so-called rights.’

Now CHIRLA receives a hefty amount of taxpayer support:

According to Data Republican, CHIRLA and the Party for Socialism and Liberation are among the NGOs involved in the current unrest. Both organizations have a history of organizing protests targeting President Donald Trump.

Between October 2021 and September 2024, CHIRLA was awarded nearly $450,000 in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grants for citizenship education and training programs. When President Trump began his second term, approximately $100,000 remained from the grant. DHS’s immigration division froze the remaining funds, prompting CHIRLA to file a lawsuit. In response, DHS canceled the contract, and the lawsuit was later withdrawn.

Meanwhile, other organizations are getting into the act. One group called the Save America Movement (not to be confused with the Save America PAC that Donald Trump formed), has been bringing in large donations:

Simple internet search. Ai is very useful. Follow the money. They really don’t hide it. The real problem is that either government condones it under Democrats and ignores them under Republicans.

Who is behind the attacks on ICE? The usual suspects, the same entities that were funding the riots after the George Floyd death from fentanyl overdose, and the monied interests who were sweeping the illegal invaders away from the border to deep within the points in the US far from the US-Mexican border frontier.

Anti-American malefactors of great wealth. And the Deep State striking back.

Cartels. Human smuggling was a BIG money maker for them plus they had indentured servants after they got them across.

The Demockrazies. They’re afraid that with all of their voters being sent back home, they may not have the votes to steal another one from the American voters.
