Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.
Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE agent with her vehicle.
Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.
The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.
In addition to Indivisible Twin Cities — which does not identify its leaders on its website — other protest leaders include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied 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 Wednesday.
Good, a sometime poet, has been described by leftist sources as a “legal observer” during the residential ICE action where she died.
Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and a member of “ICE Watch,” a coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in Minneapolis, The Post recently revealed.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network, has also been a leader of the demonstrations.
The Minnesota attorney and civil rights activist is one of the people helping organize the so-called “legal observers” who show up at raids throughout the city to document the federal agents’ activities, according to social media posts.
She also posts information about vigils and demonstrations on her social media accounts. Armstrong played a prominent role during the protests after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May 2020, according to reports.
When embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced that he would not be seeking re-election amid a sprawling welfare fraud in the state earlier this week, Armstrong criticized his move as a “retreat.”
“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.”
Other protest leaders include Edwin Torres DeSantiago, who heads up the Immigrant Defense Network, which describes itself as an umbrella group for more than 90 nonprofits and religious groups working to protect the rights of immigrants.
Born in El Salvador, DeSantiago is the first undocumented immigrant to pursue a doctorate at the University of Minnesota.
Following Good’s death, DeSantiago accused President Trump of sowing “terror and chaos” in Minneapolis.
