Radical leftist groups, including one that got $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the protests against ICE in Minnesota, according to the New York Post.
Indivisible Twin Cities, which calls itself a grassroots group of volunteers, has organized many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota. On Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed after allegedly trying to run over an ICE agent with her car.
According to public records, Soros’ Open Society Foundations gave the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, $7,850,000 between 2018 and 2023. The project calls itself a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda.”
Last year, the group that caused the protests in favor of Venezuela and the “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration across the country was also behind them.
Indivisible Twin Cities is one of the protest groups, but it doesn’t say who its leaders are on its website. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is another protest group, and its Minnesota chapter’s executive director, Jaylani Hussein, has spoken out against ICE at protests.
“A young observer killed in the line of observing, we believe in a peaceful manner. They are lying, as you hear today. They already shared lies about what took place,” Hussein said, speaking into a megaphone at an anti-ICE demonstration on Wednesday.
Leftist sources have called Good a “legal observer” during the ICE raid on her home, where she died.
The Post recently reported that Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and a member of “ICE Watch,” a group of activists who want to stop ICE raids in Minneapolis.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who started the Racial Justice Network, has also been in charge of the protests.
According to posts on social media, the Minnesota lawyer and civil rights activist is one of the people who is helping to organize the so-called “legal observers” who go to raids all over the city to record what the federal agents do.
She also uses her social media accounts to share information about vigils and protests. Reports say that Armstrong was a big part of the protests that happened after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May 2020.
Armstrong called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s decision not to run for re-election this week a “retreat” because of a large welfare fraud case in the state.
“When Democrats respond to bad-faith attacks by retreating, they don’t just lose candidates,” Armstrong said in a Facebook post.
“They legitimize the tactic. They teach voters that propaganda works, that cruelty carries no cost, and that marginalized communities can be used as political weapons without consequence. Whatever the intentions, the cumulative effect is strategic capitulation.”
Edwin Torres DeSantiago is another leader of the protests. He is in charge of the Immigrant Defense Network, which calls itself an umbrella group for more than 90 nonprofits and religious groups that work to protect immigrants’ rights.
DeSantiago is the first undocumented immigrant to get a doctorate from the University of Minnesota. He was born in El Salvador.
After Good died, DeSantiago told President Trump that he was spreading “terror and chaos” in Minneapolis.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that the spouse of Renee Good may have committed a crime in connection with a Jan. 7 encounter between ICE agents and Good in Minneapolis that resulted in Good’s death.
Jarrett made the remarks on “Fox & Friends,” suggesting that Rebecca Good could face charges such as aiding and abetting if evidence shows she encouraged or assisted actions that impeded law enforcement. He said the legal evaluation would hinge on motive and whether there was intent to obstruct officers.
Jarrett told co-host Lawrence Jones that Rebecca Good may have engaged in “aiding and abetting fleeing police with a domestic terrorism motive.”
