Soros Pumps $3.3 Million into Minnesota Anti-ICE Activist Groups

by Nick R. Hamilton

A network of left-wing activist groups opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota has received millions of dollars in backing from a Soros family nonprofit.

The discovery is raising fresh questions about who is funding the protests that have repeatedly disrupted the state in recent weeks.

An independent analysis found that sixteen anti-ICE activist groups in Minnesota have received a combined $3,321,013 in funding and non-cash assistance since 2014 from the Headwaters Foundation for Justice.

The Minneapolis-based nonprofit is funded by the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations (OSF).

OSF was founded by radical billionaire George Soros and is now led by his son and heir Alex.

The funding has underwritten efforts to monitor, protest, and interfere with ICE enforcement, including a January 23 demonstration at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport that resulted in approximately 100 arrests after protesters blocked roadways and violated permit conditions, according to police.

Headwaters did not respond to requests for comment.

Among the recipients are Jewish Community Action ($183,013), Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en la Lucha ($1,085,750), and Unidos MN ($90,250), according to reporting by The Daily Caller.

Many of these organizations helped coordinate “ICE Out” marches held statewide on January 23.

Open Society Foundations donated $300,000 to Headwaters in 2020 alone.

During the airport protest, Emma Kippley-Ogman, a board member of Jewish Community Action, was among those arrested.
