FBI Investigates Leftist Groups Fueling Los Angeles Anti-ICE Riots

Recent riots in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were sparked by coordinated social media campaigns led by leftist and socialist groups, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), with involvement from the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). These protests escalated into violent clashes involving rioters equipped with protective gear such as face shields and gas masks, supplied by nonprofits like Operation Healthy Hearts, which openly distributed 'F–k ICE' packs to demonstrators. The FBI is investigating the financial backing behind the riots, uncovering links to a network funded by Neville Singham, a pro-China millionaire connected to the PSL and its affiliated organizations, which have been accused of promoting pro-CCP propaganda. Governor Newsom’s defiant social media posts and President Donald Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard have heightened political tensions around the enforcement actions targeting convicted illegal immigrants. The protests have resulted in property destruction, arrests, and calls from radical leaders to resist law enforcement, while some community leaders downplay the violence as actions by a minority. The ongoing unrest highlights the complex interplay between immigration enforcement, left-wing activism, foreign influence, and political confrontation under President Trump's administration.
