  • Far-left groups, including Unión del Barrio and Antifa, violently protested at an L.A. ICE facility, burning flags and clashing with police.
  • The unrest mirrors 2020 BLM riots, now rebranded under a Mexican Marxist movement opposing U.S. sovereignty.
  • Unión del Barrio, a Marxist-Leninist group, called for the protest, advocating the overthrow of capitalism and ICE abolition.
  • Funding ties reveal billionaire-backed networks and NGOs, with suspicions of foreign influence fueling the chaos.
  • Critics warn this is a coordinated attack on law and order, echoing past left-wing insurrections.
Los Angeles descended into chaos this weekend as far-left agitators, including members of Unión del Barrio and Antifa, besieged an ICE facility, chanting anti-police slogans and burning American flags. The protest, which quickly spiraled into violence, mirrors the destructive 2020 BLM riots, only this time, the radical left has rebranded its tactics under a new banner: a Mexican Marxist movement that is openly hostile to U.S. sovereignty. With funding ties to shadowy NGOs and billionaire-backed networks, the unrest appears to be another coordinated effort to destabilize American institutions under the guise of "immigrant rights." Critics warn this is not grassroots activism but a calculated assault on law and order, backed by the same forces that fueled past left-wing insurrections.

Radical groups mobilize for "emergency protest"

On Friday, Unión del Barrio, a group with explicit Marxist-Leninist roots, issued a call to action on Facebook, urging followers to rally against what they called "ICE terrorists." The post claimed ICE was "kidnapping" hundreds of immigrants and holding them in the basement of the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building. "Emergency protest TODAY in LA! 4:30 PM… Join us to denounce ICE terrorizing our communities!" the post declared. Journalist Andy Ngo reported that Antifa and other far-left factions amplified the message, ensuring a volatile turnout. By evening, the scene outside the courthouse devolved into mayhem, with protesters blocking streets, hurling objects at law enforcement, and setting fires.

Unión del Barrio: The Mexican BLM?

A closer look at Unión del Barrio’s manifesto reveals alarming parallels to Black Lives Matter’s radical agenda. The group openly advocates for:
  • The overthrow of U.S. capitalism and imperialism
  • The abolition of ICE and border enforcement
  • Socialist "pan-Latino unity" movements
  • Marxist indoctrination through youth programs like Escuelita Aztlán
Like BLM, Unión del Barrio operates as a revolutionary force, not a reformist one. Its goal isn’t policy change; it’s the dismantling of America itself.

Who’s funding the chaos?

Evidence suggests these protests were not spontaneous but meticulously organized and well-funded. Investigators point to groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights (CHIRLA), which saw its government grants skyrocket from $12 million to $34 million in just one year. While CHIRLA’s executive director, Angelica Salas, frames the issue in humanitarian terms ("These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers"), the reality is far more sinister. Billionaire Neville Singham, a known financier of communist causes, has funneled millions into radical organizations like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), which played a visible role in the L.A. riots. Singham’s ties to Chinese propaganda networks raise even graver concerns about foreign influence in domestic unrest. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asked: "Is this war on ICE and America being funded by Neville Singham? Is it being funded by China?"

A repeat of 2020?

The parallels to the 2020 BLM riots are impossible to ignore. Masked agitators burned flags, spat on the Stars and Stripes, and chanted "F- Trump" as they clashed with police. The LAPD declared an "unlawful assembly," but the damage was already done. President Trump deployed the National Guard after California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass failed to quell the violence. Newsom, in a predictable display of hypocrisy, accused Trump of a "serious breach of state sovereignty", ignoring the fact that his own inaction allowed the riots to escalate. This isn’t about immigration reform. It’s about revolution. The same forces that turned American cities into war zones in 2020 are back, this time under a different name but with the same destructive agenda. If history is any guide, these riots won’t be the last. The radical left, bankrolled by dark-money networks and foreign interests, will continue its assault on law enforcement, national borders, and the very fabric of American society.
