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-backed NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
🚨🔥 WHO'S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? 🔥🚨
Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn't "spontaneous outrage."
This was organized. Funded. Coordinated.
Here’s a breakdown of the… pic.twitter.com/vdJWrZBAOU

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 is 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.
CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants. pic.twitter.com/u7GK7UILPM

According to @DataRepublican:
[P]hotos 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.
The group which printed the signs for protests, Party for Socialism and Liberation, is not a nonprofit – they are a literal Communist party. pic.twitter.com/5PlrCEe9m5

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

EXC: The group behind the Los Angeles ICE riots endorsed Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign.

Behind the curtains is Neville Singham, a socialist billionaire and known financier of Chinese propaganda efforts abroad. 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.
It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. (🐄💩)
However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. pic.twitter.com/IGrjche0m7

Is this war on ICE and America being funded by Neville Singham.
Is it being funded by China?
Was BLM riots funded by China?
Is Antifa Communists funded by China?
Are the cartels linked?
This is an actual war being waged against our country. https://t.co/vVoy1hIryA

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.
Singham also financed the People's Forum – giving it over 20 million dollars. All 3 Singham-financed organizations were also heavily involved in the Columbia protests. pic.twitter.com/5tCBOKLbtU

More from Data Republican on LA Mayor Karen Bass:
Most people know her as the Mayor of Los Angeles, and some remember her botched handling of this year’s wildfire crisis.
But there’s a lot more beneath the surface.
Let us dig in:
Karen Bass once served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded NGO notorious for meddling in foreign governments under the banner of ‘promoting democracy.’ Translation: soft power regime change.
NED has been exposed repeatedly for funding color revolutions, pushing Western-aligned NGOs, and helping topple governments that do not play ball with U.S. interests. Bass was right in the middle of it.
And then there’s the scholarship scandal.
LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas was federally indicted for receiving a scholarship from USC’s School of Social Work and allegedly trading favors.
Bass? She received the exact same scholarship. But no charges. Not even a slap on the wrist.
Why the double standard?
When you’re part of the machine… when you’ve got D.C. connections, NGO backing, and ties to the intel-adjacent nonprofit world: you get protection.
She’s not a DEI figurehead—she’s in the system.
This thread will walk through her career, her quiet rise through soft power institutions, and how she became a key player in the globalist swamp.

Final thoughts: The sh*t is deep and spread wide too. Doubtful it will all be cleaned up without military involvement and Martial Law.
