Fires.
Looting.
Chaos.
Organized.
Not spontaneous.
And worse…
You’re paying for it with your tax dollars.
In Los Angeles, what the media and politicians call “peaceful protests” are organized, well-funded riots with a political goal.
And behind the scenes?
Radical groups are using your tax dollars to fuel the flames.
Here are 7 Shocking Things You Should Know:
- $35 Million… from you, the taxpayer
Your tax money has been handed to a radical activist network.
One group alone – The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) – received $34 million of California taxpayers’ money in 2023.
Plus another $450,000 from the federal government.
What did they do with it?
- Pay for protest supplies – including expensive gas masks
- Provide legal defense for rioters
- Mobilize social media agitators
- Deploy trained organizers
Why?
All designed to create unrest… mobilize activists…stop ICE – and anything they disagree with.
And they didn’t stop there.
- Foreign Backing for the Riots
The FBI is investigating all funding sources for the rioters.
One organization that is backing the riots is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a communist political organization tied to a pro-Beijing tech tycoon.[1]
Another group closely tied to the Party for Socialism and Liberation is The People’s Forum, based in Manhattan.
This group is financed by the same pro-Beijing businessman, and supports the causes of the CCP. [2]
- Riots Sparked by a Radical Political Machine, Not a Random Crowd
The riots were:
- Not spontaneous.
- Not peaceful.
- Absolutely not underfunded.
CHIRLA has decades of organizing and mobilizing behind it.
They’ve called for ICE to be abolished since 2018.
They operate L.A.’s “Rapid Response Network.”
Its goal?
Track ICE.
Intercept and harass law enforcement.
Mobilize “resistance” within hours.
And it’s all fueled by your tax dollars.
This is a weaponized political group disguised as a nonprofit.
But that’s not all.
- The Riot Had Union Connection
Follow the power.
The Unions are deeply embedded in this.
SEIU president David Huerta was arrested at the scene of the first anti-ICE protest.
SEIU encouraged its members to join the protests.
Thousands answered the call.
And they’re not alone.
Other unions also stand behind radical groups like CHIRLA.
What you’re seeing is coordinated.
And it’s happening with the powerful political backing of California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass.
- The Riot Was Pre-Planned and Organized
This riot didn’t spontaneously erupt.
It was ignited.
The spark?
A Friday ICE operation in LA.
Violent criminals were being arrested.
And instantly, the response came.
CHIRLA launched a full-scale organized protest.
Organizers were ready.
Media was mobilized.
Lawyers were in place.
This was a rapid-fire rollout.
And it turned violent fast.
Here is the reality.
You’re financing your own destruction with your tax money.
It’s bad enough that George Soros and other millionaires and billionaires fund radicalism.
But now YOU are too?
Through government grants.
Through union money.
Through “nonprofit” activism.
- Social Media is Lying to You.
Here’s the truth:
ICE officers and agents executed search warrants at 3 locations last Friday, June 6th.
They arrested and detained 44 illegal immigrants.[3]
Several of them had violent criminal histories:[4]
- A Vietnamese national
- A Filipino national
- A Peruvian national
- Two Mexican nationals
- A previously deported child molester
You didn’t hear about any of these arrests from immigration advocates.
Here are the lies:
The executive director of CHIRLA claimed that ICE made arrests in 7 locations – but didn’t name them.
Perhaps one of the arrests she was referring to was a high school student in Torrance – a city 25 miles south of downtown L.A.
She was arrested because her dad was being deported for a criminal act.
Desiring NOT to separate the family, ICE is deporting the family and not leaving the teenager alone in the U.S.
But you weren’t told this.
Instead, she held a press conference for the rioters and said, “Our community is under attack and is being terrorized. These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers, and this has to stop.”[5]
Also, The Party for Socialism and Liberation described the arrests of illegal immigrants as a “war being waged in immigrant communities.”
They accused ICE of “kidnapping our neighbors, friends and families.”[6]
- California Politicians Support the Rioters, not Law Enforcement
Both California Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass support illegal immigration.
It’s no wonder.
Los Angeles has been a sanctuary city since 2017.
The city doesn’t cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
And in 2017, then-Mayor Eric Garcetti issued an executive order stating that city resources cannot be used to assist ICE in deportations.
So nothing was done by the Governor or the Mayor to protect ICE agents from harm by rioters – or to protect private property from damage and vandalism.
But when President Trump took action to protect government employees and federal property, what did they do?
They whined and complained.
And Gov. Newsom sued the President.
These petty and childish and destructive actions must end.
