Left-wing activists in Minneapolis are targeting ICE with a highly organized on-the-ground harassment and tracking operation, complete with hotel and license plate lists, “noise demonstrations,” and training on how to “stop ICE.” The extremist groups at the forefront of this operation have received millions of dollars from the left’s most powerful money machines, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
At the center is the Sunrise Movement, which has shifted from climate activism into anti-ICE agitation in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Sunrise operatives on the ground in the Twin Cities are circulating lists of hotels housing ICE agents and coordinating late-night disruption campaigns—often involving noisemakers—aimed at coercing hotels and other local businesses into refusing to serve ICE personnel. Sunrise has received $2 million from Open Society since 2019, $150,000 from Ford in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, and $250,000 from MacArthur in 2024, according to grant databases and tax filings.
Sunrise Twin Cities works alongside two other local groups—Unidos MN and Defend the 612—known for “rapid response” efforts in which activists are dispatched to the scene of ICE activity. Both maintain ties to MN ICE Watch, a covertly maintained Instagram page that posts training slides calling on its followers—a group that reportedly included Renee Good’s wife—to block, push, and otherwise obstruct officers making an arrest. Unidos received $400,000 from Ford in 2024 and $150,000 from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, while Defend the 612 fundraises through a Minneapolis-based “social and environmental justice” nonprofit that has received funding from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

Good investigative work on the part of Eliana Johnson at the Washington Free Beacon.
They need to bring back blackjacks, billy clubs, night sticks, water cannons and German shepherds, lots and lots of German Shepherds.
The zombies will run.
RICO is not just a euphemism.
$$$$millions from lefty’s most powerful money machines, fund activists targeting ICE w/ a highly organized on-the-ground harassment and tracking operation, complete with hotel and license plate lists, “noise demonstrations,” and training on how to “stop ICE,” including:

NOTE: It is a crime for a nonprofit organization to fund any activity that is itself illegal or that urges, promotes, or facilitates the violation of the law. Nonprofits, particularly those with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, are expected to operate for a public purpose, and engaging in substantial illegal activity, including planned violence or terrorism, can lead to the revocation of their tax-exempt status and potential criminal prosecution of the organization and its officers.
Thanks Liz.
Wasn’t a foundation called Arabella a huge contributor too? Didn’t see that on the list. When are these so-called foundations going to be charged with racketeering? They’ve all been around for a while now. You mean nobody has ever had them on the radar?
The IRS doesn’t possess the collective stones to go after any of the big ‘charitable’ organizations.
Trump needs to charge all these people with sedition and pursue accordingly.
Pronto.
Those are the same groups funding PBS.
Where is Pam Bondi? On anything.
Why does PBS still exist, except to make leftard “intellectuals” feel important (see Eric Hoffer). Not worth it.
The liberal money pipeline needs to be investigated and reported on, again and again.

The government and MAGA activists need to find ways to “harass” these organizations in meaningful ways that hurt.
When will the Justice Department prosecute the demon Soros?
For the record, what do you think Soros actually did?
You know, if I was funding something the government didn’t like, I’d be arrested and thrown in jail faster than you could say George Soros.
It’s obvious that the protests have been funded by deep pockets, yet somehow, the government, (I’m looking at you Patel and Bondi), can’t figure out what’s going on.
“Where is Pam Bondi? On anything.”
Doing her makeup so she can get some more camera time.
