What began as a so-called “spontaneous protest” against ICE enforcement operations in Los Angeles has now been exposed as something far more insidious: a well-funded, coordinated riot, with ties to radical left-wing organizations, government-funded NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda.

According to a damning exposé by investigative account @DataRepublican, several nonprofit organizations and shadowy political fronts played a pivotal role in igniting the chaos that saw federal officers attacked, flags burned, and city streets blocked.

But what’s more alarming: tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money may have indirectly fueled the unrest.

At the center of the funding web is CHIRLA—the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. Documents reveal the group saw a shocking jump from $12 million to $34 million in government grants in just one year.

While most of that is believed to come from the State of California, the group has received federal funding as well.

According to @DataRepublican, photos from the scene of the riots show CHIRLA-linked materials and professionally printed signs that trace back to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)—a Communist group operating in the U.S. with no transparency and no registered nonprofit status.

“Our community is under attack and has been terrorized,” Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, or CHIRLA, told the crowd of protesters, per LA Times. “These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers.”

The group behind the Los Angeles ICE riots endorsed the late Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign. Schiff’s clone or doppelganger even spoke alongside the far-left open borders advocacy group “CHIRLA” during his 2024 campaign.

Behind the curtains is Neville Singham, a socialist billionaire and known financier of Chinese propaganda efforts abroad.

The notorious Shanghai-based Marxist millionaire behind a sprawling anti-U.S and anti-Israel disinformation network has a cadre of operatives embedded at Columbia University, The Post has learned.

Singham has funneled over $20 million into radical groups, including those involved in recent campus takeovers at Columbia University.

According to @DataRepublican, Singham is linked to PSL, the ANSWER Coalition, and the People’s Forum—all of which played a part in the LA riots.

Even the SEIU-CA (California’s Service Employees International Union) president was reportedly arrested during the protests.

Meanwhile, groups like the Million Voters Project were caught amplifying the demonstrations online. MVP, while privately funded, is closely tied to the broader “Democracy” agenda of the progressive Left.

RRN Update:

US Marines in California today arrested California National Guard Command Chief Master Sgt. Lynn E. Williams, after Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command intercepted a telephone call he'd had with LA Mayor Karen Bass Saturday morning.

On that call, Williams told Bass he'd do whatever he could to convince his superiors to resist President Trump's anti-immigrant operation.
