Taxpayer dollars are funding anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles that have been linked directly to the Chinese Communist Party, exposing a dangerous web of foreign influence undermining America’s sovereignty.
Key Takeaways
- The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), which received $34 million in government grants last year, has been identified as a driving force behind anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
- Another group involved in the protests, the Marxist Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), has direct financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party through socialist billionaire Neville Singham.
- ICE officers faced violent mobs of over 1,000 rioters, with agents experiencing a 413% increase in assaults while their family members have been doxxed and targeted.
- Despite the violence against federal agents, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have criticized the ICE operations while refusing National Guard assistance.
- President Trump has warned that the federal government will intervene if local Democratic leadership continues to fail at maintaining order.
American Taxpayers Unwittingly Fund Anti-American Protests
The violent protests that erupted in Los Angeles following immigration raids were not spontaneous demonstrations but organized events backed by taxpayer dollars. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a group with deep Democratic Party connections, received nearly $34 million in government grants in the fiscal year ending June 2023, primarily from California. This represents a staggering increase from $12 million the previous year. Additionally, CHIRLA received approximately $450,000 from the Department of Homeland Security between October 2021 and September 2024 for “citizenship education and training.”
CHIRLA has attempted to distance itself from the violence, claiming they only organized a press event and sent legal observers to immigration courts and detention centers. However, their rhetoric and mobilization efforts directly contributed to the chaos that ensued. The Department of Homeland Security recognized the problematic nature of funding such organizations and terminated their relationship with CHIRLA in March, reclaiming nearly $101,000 in unpaid funds.
Chinese Communist Party Connection Revealed
Even more alarming than taxpayer funding is the revelation that the Marxist Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), another group heavily involved in the protests, has direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This connection comes through socialist billionaire Neville Singham, who has invested millions in groups with connections to the Chinese government after selling his software company for $785 million in 2017. The foreign influence in domestic protests represents a serious national security concern that transcends typical political disagreements about immigration policy.
“A message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down. @ICEgov will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
These CCP-linked entities are engaging in American political activism at a time when ICE is conducting legitimate law enforcement operations. In the nationwide operation that sparked the protests, ICE arrested 2,000 illegal immigrants, including 118 in Los Angeles. Many of those detained had criminal histories or gang affiliations, representing legitimate public safety threats to American communities.
Democratic Leadership Undermines Law Enforcement
The response from Democratic leadership has been nothing short of appalling. Federal officials have criticized Democrat politicians for their “dangerous” rhetoric about ICE agents, which has contributed to the 413% increase in assaults against officers. The LAPD’s delayed response to the Roybal Federal Building, where over 1,000 rioters surrounded and assaulted ICE officers, has been condemned by DHS officials. The situation became so dire that tear gas had to be deployed in Paramount, California during a raid-related protest.
“The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end. The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens. … From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end,” Said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
Instead of supporting law enforcement, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the federal immigration raids and opposed the deployment of National Guard troops. Their failure to maintain order prompted President Trump to issue a stern warning that the federal government would step in if necessary. The contrast between the effective response of the NYPD to similar protests in New York City and the chaotic situation in Los Angeles highlights the consequences of failed Democratic leadership.
Federal Response to Protect American Sovereignty
President Trump has made it clear that he will not allow foreign-influenced organizations to undermine American sovereignty or threaten law enforcement. “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” declared President Trump. His administration is committed to protecting ICE officers who are simply enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.
The situation in Los Angeles serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of allowing taxpayer dollars to fund organizations with foreign ties. As the federal government continues to crack down on illegal immigration, Americans must remain vigilant about where their tax dollars are going and demand accountability from elected officials who prioritize political agendas over national security and public safety.
