A breaking report has found that anti-ICE riots in Minneapolis have allegedly been fueled by groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation and The People’s Forum, subsidized by U.S. tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, now in Shanghai with reported CCP ties.
For context, Singham, who has funneled over $250 million to a slew of leftist, dark-money networks, according to a 2023 NYT exposé, faces congressional probes but is shielded from subpoenas abroad. Former prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky calls the protests organized and criminal.
Explaining the situation, former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky stated, “A subpoena can’t be enforced essentially outside of our borders. It is very difficult to get somebody who is overseas to sit in front of Congress or in some cases to participate in criminal proceedings.”
“That said, if you’re an American citizen, hold an American passport, [then] the State Department does have certain capabilities to essentially force you back to the homeland. If there’s a criminal prosecution, an indictment, an arrest warrant, it can cause all sorts of extradition and return to the United States,” he clarified.
Offering more context, Cherkasky declared, “It’s undeniable that the protests that are going on in Minneapolis are supported by organizations or groups of people that are essentially collaborating to get these folks out there and engage in what turns out to be repeated acts of criminal misconduct.”
“When it comes to 501(c)(3)s, the influx of that money isn’t reportable. In the same way, when you donate to a charity, those charities don’t have to keep a list of the people who are donating, and so they set up these charities that are really not doing anything specific, it seems,” he clarified.
Concluding his comments, the former prosecutor noted, “The people who are funding those organizations try to distance themselves from the actual conduct of the organizations because they’re just giving money. They don’t know what the end goal is, and they try to claim clean hands in that.”

Setting off the story, the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, which read, “Mr. Singham, who resides in the People’s Republic of China, has a long track record of assisting far-left entities, such as Code Pink, that oppose U.S. interests and support U.S. adversaries.”
Likewise, the House Ways and Means Committee, in another letter to then-IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, broke down the issue. “Mr. Singham is actively fueling CCP propaganda and financing indoctrination efforts abroad by providing hundreds of millions of dollars to groups that mix progressive advocacy with CCP talking points.”
Continuing, the letter stated, “Despite this foreign activity and engagement with CCP-tied organizations across the world, Mr. Singham’s American-based nonprofit organizations continue to do business as usual, supporting political activity and pro-CCP propaganda.”
Likewise, the House Oversight Committee, in its own letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, asserted that it is “investigating CCP influence operations that may fall within the purview of [FARA] 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq and other federal laws.”
