Patel: Funders of Minneapolis Protests Identified by FBI

 By Charlie McCarthy    |   Monday, 26 January 2026 01:15 PM EST

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday the bureau has identified people and groups who are funding leftist protests aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota.

During an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast, Patel confirmed that the FBI's investigation into the unrest is active and expanding.

"We've got … investigations ongoing into the funding of this," Patel told Johnson, stressing that the protests are "not happening organically" and that investigators have made "substantial progress" in uncovering groups and individuals financially backing them.

Patel also asserted that federal authorities are examining encrypted left-wing chats connected to protest organizers in Minnesota — warning those involved that they "should be worried" if they have violated federal statutes.

The revelations come as Minnesota remains a flashpoint in national debates over immigration enforcement.

Federal immigration operations in the Twin Cities, including "Operation Metro Surge," which has seen thousands of arrests, have drawn fierce criticism from local officials and left-leaning groups.

I hope they froze the accounts before they announced that.

Otherwise, they're off to a series of NGOs and LLCs and God knows what else.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Everyone is frustrated --- what the heck is being done about anything?  Nothing but lip service and inaction.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Completely impotent response by this administration. How very disappointing.

As has been said previously, "The Republic is lost!"
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

They need to announce this while they perp walk the a$$hat in to be processed.

Until then, anything else just pisses me off.

Bigun wails (in bold text, no less):
"The Republic is lost!"

And Smokin' Joe fulminates with:
"Cloward-Piven in action."

When are those on the right going to come to the realization that not all 50 states can or should remain part of the [now crumbling] "Union" ?

To keep hoping for as much will lead only to... despair.

Well, it might be possible to bring the antifa/communist states "back into the fold".
But that will only be accomplished by turning to the modern-day equivalent of these guys:

THEY knew how to get the commies out...
