From Fox News: Late last month, after the killing of local Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti by federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, MS NOW interviewed a protester identified as “Andrew” who said he flew in from Colorado to help drive the feds out of the city.
Hours later, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) framed the killing as a “murder,” identified “Andrew” as “DSA National Political Committee member Andrew, @andrewized who “joined community members in Minneapolis today, to protest the murder of Alex Pretti. ‘We are going to beat the Trump administration.’”
Soon after, in a rhetorical stab at law enforcement officials, the local chapter organized a training on personal protective equipment to use against what “the pigs are using.”
A week later, media outlets reported that “demonstrators” were protesting at a Target store in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis, demanding the company stop supporting the alleged “campaign of terror that ICE is waging” against area residents and workers.
On an Instagram account for the DSA local Twin Cities chapter, the group continues to tout their scheduled protests and training events in order to obstruct and stop ICE.
Fox News points to multiple DSA chapters across the country who are organizing anti-ICE protests, from Los Angeles to Boston.
The Network Contagion Research Institute, a research nonprofit based in Princeton, N.J., just released a scathing new report pointing out that DSA’s rhetoric matches the anti-U.S. propaganda of foreign adversaries.
“The same rhetoric used to attack America abroad gets recycled at home to attack American law enforcement. Different stage, same script,” said Adam Sohn, co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute.
Sohn is scheduled to testify Tuesday at a 10 a.m. hearing before the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, titled, “Foreign Influence in American Non-profits: Unmasking Threats from Beijing and Beyond.”
NCRI announced in a post on X, “NCRI assesses that the Democratic Socialists of America acts as an unregistered foreign agent inside the United States. We assess that DSA coordinates with hostile foreign states through delegations and joint activity, receives undisclosed material support such as in-kind benefits and luxury travel, and fails to report this support on required tax filings. We further assess that DSA imports the narratives and tactics developed abroad into the United States and deploys them to drive protests against ICE, law enforcement, and other domestic institutions, creating a direct pipeline from foreign coordination to domestic unrest.”
