Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump described some LA protestors as ‘paid insurrectionist or agitator or troublemakers,’ suggesting they were financed by clandestine groups, which the president did not name.
His comments heightened scrutiny over the protests, which erupted in downtown LA on Friday in response to federal immigration raids and escalated into clashes with law enforcers, property being vandalized and rampant looting.
The masks and other gear worn by some protestors, and trademark riot techniques such as breaking apart curbs to lob concrete at police vehicles, have raised questions about whether experienced agitators are involved.
Online investigators, including Matt Palumbo and DataRepublican, and politicians including Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna have taken to social media to name the groups they claim are behind the protests that led to the violence, and the money that backs them.
They describe a web of connections between the immigrant rights and leftist activists on the streets of LA with such billionaires as George Soros, Neville Singham and even the Chinese Communist Party.
‘The protests we’re seeing aren’t organic – the usual suspects are at it again,’ Palumbo, the author of books on Soros and his son, Alex Soros, told the Daily Mail.
‘There’s a direct line of funding that includes our very own federal government, the state of California and billionaires who have contempt for the nation that enabled their success.’

The following report was published in January 2025 pertaining to the role of USNORTHCOM in Closing the border with Mexico.
USNORTHCOM is a a military command structure based in Colorado.
What is at stake is the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act, namely the militarization of law enforcement activities including ICE.
Trump’s executive order directs NORTHCOM to ‘seal’ the border
The executive order requires the command to deliver both a contingency and campaign plan to “provide steady-state southern border security.”
A new executive order from President Donald Trump tasks the U.S. Northern Command to secure America’s borders as part of his major political promise to crack down on immigration.
The order first directs the defense secretary to assign NORTHCOM the mission to “seal the borders and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States by repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”
The directive also orders NORTHCOM to develop a level 3 contingency plan — such documents address emergencies that require significant coordination and resource allocation.
Gen. Gregory Guillot, who leads NORTHCOM, has 30 days to prepare a plan that lays out just how the command will go about “sealing” the border.
NORTHCOM is primarily responsible for homeland defense and civil support within the North American continent. It assists civilian agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, during natural disasters. Its mission also includes counter-drug operations.
Along with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), NORTHCOM is responsible for air and missile warning, airspace control and maritime warning.
“The order relies on the president’s commander in chief authority, uses the phrase “repel the invasion,” and directs the secretary of defense to implement a “campaign planning requirement.” This is the language of military operations, not support to law enforcement,” Goitein wrote on the social platform X.
“In this executive order, Trump seems to be bypassing the Insurrection Act and going straight to the president’s inherent constitutional authority to repel foreign invasions—with enormous implications for the use of force, cross-border operations, detention authority, etc.“
“I spoke to a military expert who said the NORTHCOM order is also highly irregular. NORTHCOM’s resolution of these issues might be a “campaign” that focuses on providing logistical support to DHS—basically harmonizing this order with other orders that quite clearly treat unlawful migration as remaining in the purview of civilian agencies.”
