REPORT EXPOSES WHO IS FUNDING BEHIND MINNEAPOLIS ANTI-ICE RIOTS AS "LEGAL OBSERVER" NARRATIVE CRUMBLES
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The mask has been ripped off the "resistance." What the mainstream media portrays as organic, grassroots protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota has now been revealed as a well-oiled machine funded by the deepest pockets of the radical left. A bombshell report confirms that organizations tied to billionaire George Soros are bankrolling the chaos on our streets.
The $7.8 Million Connection According to public records obtained by the New York Post, Indivisible Twin Cities—the group organizing many of the aggressive anti-ICE demonstrations—is linked to the Indivisible Project in Washington, D.C. The records show that Soros’ Open Society Foundations funneled a staggering $7,850,000 to the Indivisible Project between 2018 and 2023.
This is not a neighborhood watch. This is a multi-million dollar operation designed to defeat the "Trump agenda" by any means necessary, including the physical obstruction of federal law enforcement.
The "Legal Observer" Myth The funding revelation comes as the narrative surrounding the death of Renee Nicole Good collapses. Leftist activists and groups like CAIR have tried to paint Good as a peaceful "legal observer" who was "killed in the line of observing."
The reality on the ground tells a different story. Reports indicate Good was an "anti-ICE warrior" and a member of "ICE Watch," a radical group dedicated to stalking and stopping ICE raids. She was shot only after she allegedly used her vehicle to strike a federal agent—an act of lethal force, not observation.
The Radical Leadership The report exposes a roster of radical leaders coordinating these dangerous confrontations:
Jaylani Hussein (CAIR-MN): The executive director who screamed into a megaphone that federal agents were "lying" about the attack, stoking further division.
Nekima Levy Armstrong: A veteran of the 2020 George Floyd riots and founder of the Racial Justice Network. She organizes the so-called "legal observers" to film agents and recently blasted Governor Tim Walz for "retreating" in the face of the fraud scandal.
Edwin Torres DeSantiago: The first undocumented immigrant to receive a doctorate from the University of Minnesota, who leads the Immigrant Defense Network. He had the audacity to accuse President Trump of spreading "terror and chaos," while his group protects those breaking the law.
Legal Consequences Looming The fallout may extend beyond the streets to the courtroom. Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett suggested that Renee Good’s spouse, Rebecca Good, could face serious criminal charges. “Aiding and abetting fleeing police with a domestic terrorism motive,” Jarrett theorized, noting that if evidence shows she encouraged the obstruction, she is complicit in the attack on federal officers.
The Big Picture This is a coordinated assault on the rule of law. With $7.8 million in Soros cash, a network of 90 nonprofits, and leaders who openly defy deportation orders, the "resistance" in Minneapolis is a professional insurgency disguised as civil rights activism. But with the Trump administration’s DOJ watching and the money trail now exposed, the question isn't if they will be stopped, but when.
Supreme Court Delivers Key Second Amendment Decision
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge this week to the constitutionality of a federal law that bans the possession of a firearm by someone who has been the subject of a domestic violence restraining order.
The court holds that when an individual has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to another’s physical safety, that individual may be temporarily disarmed, consistent with the Second Amendment.
The vote is 8-1, with Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that, “Since the founding, our Nation’s firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms. As applied to the facts of this case, Section 922(g)(8) fits comfortably within this tradition.”
Discussing the application by the lower courts of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, Roberts writes, “Some courts have misunderstood the methodology of our recent Second Amendment cases. These precedents were not meant to suggest a law trapped in amber.”
Otherwise, Roberts explained, the Second Amendment would only protect “muskets and sabers.”
“Why and how the regulation burdens the right are central to this inquiry. For example, if laws at the founding regulated firearm use to address particular problems, that will be a strong indicator that contemporary laws imposing similar restrictions of similar reasons fall within a permissible category of regulations.”
The Supreme Court has been busy lately.
The Department of Justice recently backed the state of Texas in its redistricting dispute, arguing that the new congressional map approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature does not constitute an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
The ruling, for now, clears the way for the Lone Star State to implement its newly redrawn maps ahead of the 2026 midterms.
In an amicus brief, Solicitor General John Sauer, representing the Trump administration, said the lower court erred in blocking the map from taking effect. He urged the Supreme Court to intervene and overturn the ruling. Sauer wrote in his filing: “This is not a close case.”
Sauer argued that the lower court misinterpreted the rationale behind the Legislature’s decision to adjust five congressional districts in a way that favored Republicans.
He said the changes were driven by political considerations, not race, and therefore did not violate federal voting laws or the Constitution.
Shortly after the letter was issued, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, added redistricting to the Legislature’s agenda, prompting a dramatic walkout in which state Democrats temporarily left the state in protest.
The lower court “misinterpreted the letter’s meaning; and more importantly, the court misunderstood the letter’s significance to the legislature’s adoption of the 2025 map,” Sauer argued.
The plaintiffs involved in the case, consisting of various voting and immigrant rights organizations, contended that Dhillon’s letter called for the disbanding of the coalition districts and the concentration of Black and Latino voters into different districts.
Texas’ mid-cycle redistricting battle is one of several conflicts emerging nationwide as President Donald Trump faces the possibility of a less favorable Republican House map in 2026.
In California, voters approved a last-minute ballot measure that would offset the five Republican gains made in Texas. Utah adopted a new map that benefits Democrats, while Virginia has begun steps toward another redrawing process that would also benefit Democrats.
Louisiana’s map, which favors the GOP, is currently awaiting review by the Supreme Court. Missouri also underwent redistricting, adding a GOP-favored seat, and Indiana’s legislature is considering the same thing next month, which would benefit Republicans.
The Department of Justice recently filed suit against California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, contending that the state’s new redistricting plan was unconstitutionally driven by race — a position that contrasts with its stance in the Texas case, Fox News reported.
Justice Samuel Alito issued an administrative stay of the panel’s ruling, and the full Supreme Court could issue a more definitive decision on the map at any time.
Representative Ilhan Omar
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has dramatically escalated her opposition to the Trump administration’s domestic immigration strategy, labeling the city of Minneapolis as being "under occupation" by federal forces. In a series of defiant remarks to constituents and national media, Omar called for the immediate resignation or impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The "Occupation" NarrativeOmar’s critique centers on Operation Metro Surge, a federal initiative aimed at apprehending illegal immigrants with criminal convictions. However, Omar argues the operation has devolved into a "paramilitary" occupation that has paralyzed daily life.
School Impact: Omar claimed that in some local schools, two-thirds of students are too afraid to attend due to the presence of federal agents.Hospital Safety: She further alleged that residents are avoiding medical care because "occupying paramilitary forces" have been spotted at local hospitals."We do not exaggerate when we say our city is currently under occupation," Omar told a crowd in Minneapolis on Monday.
She specifically targeted Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser, calling him the "architect of the terror" and comparing his policies to those of historical fascist regimes.Fatalities and Body CamerasThe tension follows two high-profile deaths during federal operations: Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Both individuals were reportedly killed while interfering with ICE enforcement actions.Pretti Incident: Occurred on January 24. While some CBP officers were equipped with body cameras, the full footage has yet to be released.Good Incident: Details remain scarce on whether ICE officers were wearing cameras at the time of the fatal encounter.In response to the mounting political pressure from leaders like Omar and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Secretary Noem announced an immediate mandate for all federal immigration officers in Minneapolis to wear body-worn cameras.
Governor Tim Walz welcomed the move but noted it came "too late" for those already lost.[Image: Map of Minneapolis showing "Operation Metro Surge" activity zones and protest flashpoints]A Widening Political GapThe conflict in Minneapolis has become a focal point in the broader battle over Department of Homeland Security funding.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has signaled that Democrats will demand additional conditions on immigration enforcement before approving long-term DHS appropriations. As the Saturday morning shutdown looms, the rhetoric from Minneapolis suggests that the gap between the White House and Congressional Democrats is widening into a chasm.
