A Chinese Communist Party-linked activist network began helping lead renewed anti-ICE protests nationwide in the wake of a fatal shooting in Minneapolis, the same day a House committee voted to subpoena the wealthy Marxist businessman helping fund their far-left activities.
Political battle lines quickly formed in the wake of an ICE agent firing upon a woman Wednesday morning in a vehicle driving at him in Minneapolis, with the Department of Homeland Security labeling the woman a âdomestic terroristâ while some Democrats quickly labeled the federal officer a âmurderer.â
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., posted on Instagram earlier this week that âI have formally made a motion to subpoena Neville Singham, an American billionaire with ties to the CCP.â In her comments during the House Oversight Committee session on Wednesday, Luna said that Singham âhas been funding extremist organizations fueling division and civil unrest in this country and especially regarding the ICE riots last summer.â
House Committee approves subpoena to Singham
According to Politico, Luna made her case to the House committee on Wednesday about why Singham should be compelled to testify, and the motion to issue a subpoena was approved by a voice vote. That vote also included approval of unrelated subpoenas, including targets of the Jeffrey Epstein matter.
âNeville Singham was referred to the Department of Justice, I believe, for FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] violations by then Senator Rubio when he served on the ⊠Senate Intelligence Committee,â Luna said. âNeville Singham, regardless of what you might feel about your colleagues, has been a mechanism and funding arm of the Chinese Communist Party.â
Luna added: âHeâs not a registered agent under FARA, and has been connected to a number of riots, including the anti-ICE riots being funded in Los Angeles ⊠and has been avoiding our request to have him come bring information to Congress. He is definitely someone that is anti-American ideologically⊠and is funding groups known to sow discord in this country⊠He is a known foreign agent to China. ⊠He should face a subpoena. ⊠In the event that he does not comply with this subpoena, I will be making a motion for inherent contempt.â
Rep. David Min, D-Calif., briefly raised concerns on Wednesday about the process by which Lunaâs motion was being brought, but Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., intervened and recommended that the Democrats vote yes.
Luna added that Singham has been avoiding receipt of the Houseâs request for information for months and has been funding groups aimed at dividing Americans.
The House Oversight Committee had previously sent a June 2025Â letter to Singham, lamenting that âthe Biden Department of Justice failed to curb your support of civil unrest, and your activities have recently expanded to include the foment of unrest and civil disobedience in Los Angelesâprompting President Trump to call in the National Guard to counterattacks on federal law enforcement officials.â
âThe Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating your reported funding of various extremist entities in the United States. Reportedly, you have supported these groups with the aim of causing destruction and division in our country â including most recently through ongoing riots and violence in Los Angeles, California,â the House letter to Singham said. âMoreover, the Committee is concerned that you may be engaging in such activities on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party â and that your activity may violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.â
The letter demanded Singham hand over âall documents and communications referencing any form of agreement between you among or between the PSL, the Peopleâs Forum, the ANSWER Coalition, and any group with ties to the CCP.âÂ
Luna had said Wednesday that Singham ignored them.
Singham-sponsored groups organizing protests
A review by Just the News found that many of the anti-ICE protests which quickly sprang up on Wednesday and Thursday were organized and promoted by the far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with help from the Marxist revolutionary group known as The Peopleâs Forum, and with some participation from the radical anti-war group Code Pink and the leftist Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition.
Singham married Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink, in 2017. Her group touts itself as antiwar and has become increasingly pro-China in recent years.
Just the News previously reported on how these and other radical activist groups have leadership links or financial ties to a funding network backed by wealthy Marxist businessman Neville Roy Singham, who himself has connections to the CCP. Coincidentally or fortuitously, the GOP-led House Oversight Committee voted on Thursday to subpoena Singham for information about this sprawling activist network.
FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Thursday that his agents are investigating the organizers and funders of anti-immigration enforcement protests for impeding law enforcement activities and endangering public safety.
The PSL says it has dozens of chapters nationwide â and it has activated them to protest ICE and to combat the Trump Administrationâs efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
The PSL is closely tied to a number of groups which are part of Singhamâs funding network, including the Marxist-oriented Peopleâs Forum and the far-left BreakThrough News media outlet â both of which also quickly swung into anti-ICE action. The forum is a Marxist revolutionary group that is pro-Communism, pro-China, and anti-Israel â and it played a key role in organizing anti-ICE protests in New York City on Wednesday and picketing against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in Manhattan on Thursday.
Just the News previously reported last year that the PSL â which openly calls for revolution to bring down the current American system and which publicly sympathizes with murderous Communist regimes â had been a leader in organizing and fueling anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles as well as in other cities nationwide in 2025.
Just the News also reported this week about how Chinese state-run propaganda outlets are promoting U.S. protests against the Trump Administrationâs arrest of Venezuelan strongman NicolĂĄs Maduro â and about how those anti-Trump and pro-Maduro protests are also being organized by the same Singham financial network.
The PSL, BreakThrough News, and the Peopleâs Forum did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
CCP-linked network quickly activates same day as ICE shooting, call it “murder”
The PSL seemed to take the anti-ICE protest lead for the Singham network on Wednesday, hours after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent after she allegedly disobeyed law enforcement orders to exit her vehicle and drove at an agent standing in front of her car.
âBREAKING: ICE agents have shot and killed a legal observer while conducting a raid in Minneapolis. Video evidence clearly shows that ICE is lying when they claim self-defense,â the PSLÂ tweeted Wednesday afternoon. âThe ICE operation in the city is part of a racist crackdown directed especially at Somalis in the city. We demand that these murderers leave our communities immediately and stop kidnapping our neighbors!â
The post on X included a graphic declaring âICE Murderers Out of Our Communitiesâ and the tweet was reshared by the ANSWER Coalition.
The PSL soon claimed that âthe video evidence confirms this was a cold-blooded murder, and any claim that the ICE killer was acting in self-defense is an outrageous lie.â The group added: âThe ICE operation in the city is part of a racist crackdown directed especially at Somalis in the city. We demand that these murderers leave our communities immediately and stop kidnapping our neighbors!â
Ramping up outrage, protests nationwide
The PSL also touted an anti-ICE march in Tucson featuring a large protest headed by a group carrying a large PSL banner, and also promoted Wednesday marches in Seattle and Boston with video of the protests where numerous PSL signs were displayed. The socialist group also promoted videos of Wednesday marches in Milwaukee, Columbus, New York, and elsewhere.
The PSL also retweeted a post by leftwing activist Claudia De La Cruz â PSLâs presidential nominee in the 2024 race against Donald Trump and Kamala Harris â arguing that âwe must urgently organize and mobilize our communities to stand up and say enough is enough. Justice for Renee Nicole Good!â
De La Cruz said in a 2024 interview about her campaign as the PSL nominee to be U.S. president that âI co-founded and co-directed ⊠the Peopleâs Forum.â The forum says that De la Cruz âis a central committee member of The Party for Socialism and Liberationâ and that âin 2018, she co-founded The Peopleâs Forum.â De La Cruz is listed as a director at the forum in tax records.
The âProgram of the Party for Socialism and Liberationâ â essentially PSLâs political platform â declares that the groupâs members are âMarxists in the United States.â The platform is heavy on calls for Communist revolution.
Blending Minnesota ICE shooting with Maduro’s capture
The Peopleâs Forum also took quick action on Wednesday. The forumâs director, Manolo De Los Santos, declared on X that âthe cold blooded killing of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis and Trumpâs bombing of over 100 people in Venezuela are connected acts of the same brutal machine. We must dismantle the U.S. empire, or it will dismantle us.â
The Manhattan-based Peopleâs Forum tweeted on Wednesday that âICE murdered a legal observer in Minneapolis this morning. We won’t allow ICE terror in our communities. TAKE THE STREETS TONIGHT!â This was reposted by the ANSWER Coalition.
âNOW: just hours after the brutal ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good, New Yorkers have taken the [sic] streets to make it heard loud and clear: from Minneapolis to NYCâStop ICE terror!â the forum tweeted later in the day. âWe wonât stand for ICE to murder our people and terrorize our communities.â
In the video shared by the forum, Santos claimed that âReneeâs killers werenât just the ones wearing ICE uniforms today. Reneeâs murder is state-sanctioned murder. Reneeâs murder has Trumpâs signature on it.â
The forum announced its future protests on Wednesday, saying on X that âtomorrow, Kristi Noem, the leader of ICE, is coming to NYC. Join us in Foley Square at 9AM to tell her she isnât welcome here! ICE OUT OF NEW YORK!â
The Peopleâs Forum said in a follow-on tweet: âTELL KRISTI NOEM: YOU’RE NOT WELCOME HEREâEMERGENCY RALLY TOMORROW! … ICE OUT OF NEW YORK, ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!â
Code Pink also got in on the action, with co-founder Medea Benjamin posting that âthis is what state terrorism really looks like. ⊠ICE out of our communities! Now!
The Singham-linked BreakThrough News outlet â closely tied to the Peopleâs Forum â also documented and promoted anti-ICE protests throughout the day on Wednesday. The tax forms for the outlet show that many of the groupâs top leaders are all tied to the PSL as well.
BreakThrough News posted multiple times about a Minneapolis vigil for Good on Wednesday, and tweeted that evening, âHAPPENING NOW: Impromptu march erupts in Minneapolis for Renee Nicole Good, killed by ICE.â
The outlet also promoted anti-ICE marches on Wednesday located in Milwaukee, New York City, San Antonio, Columbus, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, Anchorage, Tucson and New Orleans.
The Peopleâs Forum proceeded to share multiple videos of their anti-ICE and anti-Noem protest in New York City â calling it a âmassive picket at World Trade Centerâ â with numerous PSL signs being waved by protesters.
Manolo De Los Santos led a call-and-response at the Thursday protest: âThereâs a cold-blooded murderer giving a press conference on the 50th floor â Kristi Noem whose hands are not even dry yet with the blood of our sister Renee.â Santos referred to ICE as âher army of thugs, killers, and kidnappers.â
BreakThrough News also posted a video stating that âNYC marches against Head of DHS Kristi Noem. Noem is delivering a press conference at NYC ICE headquarters today just one day after the murder of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.â
About Neville âComradeâ Singham and the CCP
Singham, the wealthy tech executive, is lauded by The People’s Forum and others as a true Marxist.
âFor months weâve been the target of a campaign that alleges our funding comes from âdark money.â A few years ago we met Roy Singham, a Marxist comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to non-profits that focus on political education, culture, & internationalism,â the Peopleâs Forum tweeted in December 2021.
The New York Times reported that Singham works in Shanghai, that his efforts there are linked to the CCP, and that he has attended at least one CCP workshop on promoting the party globally.
The outlet also said Singham shares offices with a Chinese media company called Maku Group. The Chinese groupâs âAbout Usâ page â which has since been deleted but which was archived by the Wayback Machine in 2023 â says the goal of the company is to promote a positive vision of China worldwide.
Singham also wrote that he had served on the Central Committee of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers. The league, according to the Marxists Internet Archive, âplayed a key role in inspiring the Black Liberation Movement and spreading Marxist-Leninist ideas among Black workers and workers in general.â Singham reportedly worked as a âstrategic technical consultantâ with the Chinese government-linked Chinese telecom giant Huawei from 2001 to 2008, according to New Lines Magazine.
Then-senator and now Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Biden Justice Department that âit appears that organizations tied to Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. citizen, have been receiving direction from the CCP.â
âI categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of, work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives,â Singham told The New York Times in 2023. âI am solely guided by my beliefs, which are my long-held personal views.â
With Singhamâs socialist militant groups again leading nationwide protests, and with the House now prepared to issue the Marxist businessman a congressional subpoena, the spotlight on these revolutionaries, the organization and funding of the anti-Ice and pro-Maduro protests and their links to the CCP will likely only continue to grow.
