FBI Probes Organizers and Funding Behind Anti-ICE Protests Nationwide

Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel said agents are investigating organizers, protesters and funding sources tied to anti-immigration enforcement demonstrations.
• Patel described the inquiry as focusing on paid protest campaigns that may drive illicit activity and endanger public safety.
• The announcement came a day after a Minneapolis incident in which a woman trying to block ICE operations struck an agent with her car and was fatally shot while attempting to flee.
• Just the News has reported that Chinese state-run media promoted U.S. protests after President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
• The outlet also reported that some demonstrations appear connected to a CCP-linked financial network, a claim not confirmed by the FBI.
