INSURGENCY: Anti-ICE campaigns Funded by Left-Wing Billionaire Donors: Sources

This isn’t a grassroots protest — it’s a coordinated, well-funded revolutionary movement.

What unfolded in Minnesota was not spontaneous outrage but a disciplined, well-funded campaign aimed at dismantling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and, by extension, the rule of law itself. The same radical networks, foreign-linked funders, and professional agitators are driving it — including China-connected billionaire pipelines and hard-left communist factions.

What’s new — and dangerous — is that these extremists are now marching openly alongside mainstream unions and legacy institutions. The firewall is gone. The revolution no longer hides at the margins.

This isn’t protest.
It’s insurgency — financed, coordinated, and sold to the public as “concern.”

‘Grassroots’ anti-ICE campaigns funded by left-wing billionaire donors: sources

By Chadwick Moore, NY Post, Feb. 3, 2026

Its the same dark money, with new signs.

Anti-ICE protests in Minnesota may appear to be “grassroots” campaigns organized by concerned citizens, but they’re really funded with megadonor money — some coming from China.

A so-called “ICE Out” march attracted an estimated 15,000 leftwing political activists to a frozen, snow-covered Minneapolis Friday, with attendees chanting “ICE out now” and demanding an end to federal immigration enforcement in the city.

Although framed as a spontaneous uprising of concerned, everyday people, the demonstration — like countless that have regularly metastasized during Trump’s presidencies — featured a familiar cast of politically-obsessed activists and terminally online characters.

A protest against ICE features a sign with a black bird shooting a red laser from its eye at a red star.

The demonstration was the latest civil unrest exploit in the Twin Cities positioned as a grassroots mass uprising of ordinary people opposed to federal immigration laws.

They organize on radical message boards and encrypted texting apps, but are backed by funds created by radical leftist billionaires.

“My team’s best judgement is that it’s the Neville Singham network that is most active [in Minnesota], partly because that’s the most crazy network. But they aren’t alone,” Scott Walter, president of Capital Research and an expert on dark money outfits, told The Post.

Walter was referring to The People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, both funded by China-based former software exec Singham.

Both groups promoted the “ICE Out” protests — which were organized by another group, called 50501 — through social media and Walter said their members were in attendance, but he noted they have recently getting their members to blend in more with the crowds.

“What’s new is, we are seeing truly extreme communist splinter groups showing up alongside an American Federation for Teachers union or the Ford Foundation.

“That’s a disturbing trend for us who follow these things. Normally, they wouldn’t have been cheek by jowl publicly with those people,” Walter said.

“That kind of self-policing on the left seems to be disappearing.”

Singham, who did not respond to a request for comment, has become a major funder of left-wing activist networks, including protests in Minnesota and other cities, all coordinated from his base in Shanghai.

Communist agitation groups allegedly funded by China-based millionaire Neville Singham have been leading the insurgency in Minneapolis, influence experts tell The Post.

“They work together through Byzantine networks of understanding. An average protestor might have a dim understanding of the Neville Singham network, but [will be] friends with people in several other groups. He, himself probably belongs to half a dozen groups, because their groups are constantly metastasizing new names,” Walter said.

Lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee and other GOP members are investigating whether his financial support constitutes foreign influence or violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), exploring possible ties between his network and Chinese Communist Party propaganda efforts.

“Have you noticed there’s no pro-Palestinian and anti-ICE protests going on at the same time? If it was organic, you would see multiple protests going on simultaneously, but you don’t see that,” Ian Oxnevad, a senior foreign affairs fellow at the National Association of Scholars, told The Post.

Hungarian billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation gives money to several protest groups witnesses claim have been operating in Minneapolis since the civil unrest began late last year.

“There’s no mass protests like this against what is going on in Iran, for example, or any of number of genocides that have happened. It’s always very specific causes that are anti-Western, essentially,” he added referring to anti-regime unrest in Iran that has allegedly seen 36,000 protestors killed in recent weeks.

Friday’s Minneapolis protest occurred under the umbrella of the 50501 network, which operates largely in the shadows.

50501 lists its nonprofit “partners” on its website, including the Ford Foundation-funded Voices of Florida, a “black and queer-led” pro-abortion nonprofit, and former Bernie Sanders PAC Political Revolution.

The New York-based Ford Foundation philanthropic endowment, which gave Voices of Florida $100,000, is the 90-year-old philanthropic network founded by the carmaker Henry Ford which now states its mission to be reducing inequality and promoting social justice.

Other prominent left-wing activist groups present across Minnesota since mass civil disruptions began late last year included Indivisible — funded by Hungarian billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundation — the Sunrise Movement, and Unidos Minnesota.

Tax filings and other records reviewed by The Post show since 2016 the Sunrise Movement took in at least $2 million from funders in the so-called Arabella network, a DC-based progressive network.

Indivisible got $107,000 from the Arabella network, $6.5 million from 90-year-old Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, and $7.6 million from Open Society Foundation.
