Not sure if this is the whole story but an interesting look behind the scenes.
The FBI is investigating what is fueling the riots against immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, the agency’s director Kash Patel said, rising concerns about possible Chinese influence behind the chaos.
One group backing the unrest is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a communist political party linked to networks funded by pro-Beijing tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham.
The group has been posting updates about the riots on social media platform X, describing ([url]https://archive.is/U2J7V[/url]) the arrests of illegal immigrants as a “war being waged on immigrant communities” while accusing ([url]https://archive.is/iJejw[/url]) Immigration and Customs Enforcement of “kidnapping our neighbors, friends and families.”
Closely allied with the Party for Socialism and Liberation is The People’s Forum, a Singham-funded organization based in the New York City borough of Manhattan that has advocated for the ruling Chinese regime’s causes.
Manolo De Los Santos, co-executive director of The People’s Forum and a New York City resident, has praised China’s COVID-19 pandemic policies. The group has hosted events in Manhattan that have hailed the ascent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a “decades-long epic battle that transformed not only China, but also the world,” according to a description on X.
The two organizations have been cross-posting on X in solidarity with the rioters. Both have been calling for more protests in their respective locales.
The People’s Forum, in an X post on the afternoon of June 10, asked people to gather in Manhattan’s Foley Square at 5 p.m. to “demand ICE get out of [their] communities.” A poster attached listed the Party for Socialism and Liberation, as well as CODEPINK—an anti-war activist group that Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, co-founded—as event endorsers.
