DOJ reportedly investigating possible fraud by Black Lives Matter
Various organizations and leaders related to Black Lives Matter are under investigation for possible fraud, according to sources that spoke to the Associated Press.
Sources familiar with the matter told the AP that at least one search warrant has been served and that several subpoenas have been issued in the Department of Justice investigation.
The foundation last reported in financial filings that it had amassed over $28 million in assets.
The report said that the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc. was one of the groups being investigated. The foundation last reported in financial filings that it had amassed over $28 million in assets.
The AP report said the sources spoke to the outlet anonymously because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
While there were no indications of criminal charges yet, the report showed a renewed focus on investigating radical leftist groups by the DOJ. President Donald Trump has declared that law enforcement officials will root out the funding for violent rioting related to politics.
A spokesperson for the DOJ declined to comment to the AP report.
Support for the group increased after the death of George Floyd while he was in police custody in 2020, but the large-scale rioting across the U.S. in the months afterward led to many turning away from the movement.
The foundation said Thursday it was not a target “of any federal criminal investigation” in a statement to the AP.
“We remain committed to full transparency, accountability, and the responsible stewardship of resources dedicated to building a better future for Black communities,” reads a statement from the foundation.

Soros-linked protesters to host ‘rally/vigil’ at Home Depot over ICE raids
Progressive groups are organizing more than 100 anti-immigration enforcement protests at Home Depot and detention center locations nationwide this weekend.
‘All over the country, ICE agents are targeting immigrants in and around Home Depot, attacking and terrorizing workers, customers, and surrounding communities.’
The demonstrations are advertised as a “rally/vigil” to honor “all the workers who have been kidnapped by ICE on Home Depot properties.”
Organizers accused Home Depot of “becom[ing] ICE’s passive partner,” claiming that the company “has not resisted or condemned these raids.”
“Tell Home Depot: ICE Out!” the ads read.
The planned demonstrations appear to be in response to the death of Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, a 52-year-old from Guatemala. In August, Montoya Valdez was fatally struck by a vehicle when he ran onto a California highway while attempting to flee the scene of a Home Depot, where federal agents were performing immigration enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that Montoya Valdez was not being pursued by any federal law enforcement agents at the time.

“All over the country, ICE agents are targeting immigrants in and around Home Depot, attacking and terrorizing workers, customers, and surrounding communities. The raids are terrifying, chaotic, and sometimes deadly,” the ad for the protest read.
Organizers are hosting a Día de los Muertos protest outside a Pasadena Home Depot on Saturday, in honor of Montoya Valdez and two other individuals who died in separate incidents tied to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, according to Pasadena Now. The local outlet noted that the event will feature an altar, music, and speakers.

The protests are a part of the Disappeared in America project, hosted by the Public Citizen Foundation, the National Day Laborers Organizing Network, the Workers Circle, and the Detention Watch Network.
The George Soros’ Open Society Foundations has made nearly two dozen grant donations, totaling over $6 million, to the Public Citizen Foundation since 2016. It has donated $700,000 directly to the Detention Watch Network and another $835,000 to the Tides Center “to support the Detention Watch Network.”
“We aren’t notified that immigration enforcement activities are going to happen, and we aren’t involved in the operations. We’re required to follow all federal and local rules and regulations in every market where we operate,” Home Depot told Blaze News.
Open Society Foundations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Woke Dallas pastor claims abortion PREVENTS abortion
Texas pastor Dwight McKissic took to X to shockingly credit Democrats with lowering abortion rates — and suggested that God is concerned with protecting “the whole of life,” not just birth.
“God can hit a straight lick with a crooked stick. The Democrats have actually reduced abortions more so than Republicans. In the sovereignty of God he is revealing to us, his ways are above our ways. Democracy [sic] who are pro-life understand that voting for Donald Trump was not going to save one baby,” McKissic wrote in a post on X.
“Abortions have decreased when Democrats were in office, and increased when Republican presidents were/are in office. God is demonstrating to us, he is concerned about the whole of life … not just pro-birth, but all aspects of life. God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform,” he added.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not buying it.
“This is a Democratic operative who calls himself a religious leader, who calls himself a Christian,” Whitlock says.
“He’s co-signed and said, ‘Hey look, you know, even when we’re putting Planned Parenthoods everywhere, even when we’re putting abortion trucks outside the Democrat National Convention, hey, this is all working in conjunction with God. And the more babies we kill, the actual less babies die,’” he continues.
“What Dwight McKissic is saying is actually reminiscent of what his contingent has been saying for a very long time,” BlazeTV contributor Chad Jackson says.
“I remember when Roland Martin said something similar. … He said that, ‘Well, Democrats are actually more pro-life than Republicans because we actually care about the entire life, the whole life. If you’re so pro-life, then why aren’t you supporting things like, you know, universal basic income?’” he adds.
“And so, what he’s saying is that the only life worth living, if you are an unborn child coming into the world, is a life that is basically socialist in nature,” he continues.
“And so, the fact of the matter is, Dwight McKissic is somebody who calls himself a pastor, but he has traded in his role as a pastor behind the pulpit for advancing a political agenda more so than advancing the kingdom of God. And it’s quite troubling because you see the same thing happening in many so-called black pulpits across this country and, I mean, they’re leading people straight to hell,” he says.

ICE officer shoots at driver who tried to run over agent during vehicle stop in California, DHS says
A driver tried to run over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was involved in a vehicle stop in California, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Ontario Police Department said it provided aid to the agents after receiving a call Thursday morning about a shooting.
One of the officers fired ‘defensive shots’ at the vehicle out of fear for his life.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the agents performed the traffic stop at about 6:30 a.m. on Vineyard Avenue when another car pulled up in front of them, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The officers ordered the other driver to leave, McLaughlin said, and he seemed about to comply when “the car stopped and attempted to run officers over by reversing directly at them without stopping.”
One of the officers fired “defensive shots” at the vehicle out of fear for his life, according to McLaughlin.
“The subject fled the scene and abandoned his vehicle,” she added.
Ontario police were not involved in the shooting and offered only traffic control and security while DHS investigated the incident.
Video from KTTV showed scenes recorded from a news helicopter.

Ontario was also recently the scene of a horrific accident that took the lives of at least three people when the driver of a commercial truck plowed into stopped traffic on the 10 freeway. The driver was identified as a 21-year-old illegal alien from India named Jashanpreet Singh.
