FBI Probes Foreign Financial Ties to L.A. Riots Amid Rising Concerns Over Communist-Linked Groups
The FBI is investigating financial networks suspected of fueling recent riots in Los Angeles following federal immigration enforcement actions, Director Kash Patel confirmed this week. Speaking to The Epoch Times, Patel stated the bureau is examining “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots,” as scrutiny intensifies over foreign-backed communist groups allegedly influencing domestic unrest.
Among the organizations under federal and congressional scrutiny is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a hardline communist group reportedly funded by Neville Roy Singham, a pro-Beijing tech millionaire with documented ties to Chinese Communist Party-aligned entities.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation has used social media to frame immigration arrests as a “war being waged on immigrant communities” and accused ICE of “kidnapping our neighbors, friends and families.” Closely aligned with the group is The People’s Forum, a Manhattan-based nonprofit also funded by Singham. The organization has openly praised China’s authoritarian policies, hosted events glorifying the Chinese Communist Party, and organized solidarity actions for L.A. protesters.
On June 10, The People’s Forum rallied demonstrators in Manhattan’s Foley Square, chanting “ICE out of our communities” and featuring support from Code Pink—a group co-founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, known for its “China Is Not Our Enemy” campaign. Code Pink activists have previously disrupted congressional hearings to push pro-Beijing narratives.
Photos from a 2023 propaganda forum in Shanghai showed Singham seated beside a Marxist professor at Fudan University, taking notes in a red-covered booklet—a scene emblematic of the ideological and financial ties now under federal investigation. The People’s Forum has not denied its foreign affiliations, stating in January 2024: “we have nothing to hide” while reaffirming opposition to “the U.S. war drive on Russia and China.”
The group’s activities have drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers. In April, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley urged the Department of Justice to assess whether The People’s Forum and Code Pink should register as foreign agents.
More recently, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) announced the House Oversight Committee will demand documents from Singham regarding his alleged financial support for groups linked to the L.A. riots and the Chinese Communist Party. “If he refuses to appear, he will be subpoenaed,” Luna warned, adding that noncompliance could trigger DOJ prosecution.
The investigation highlights growing concerns over foreign influence in U.S. domestic affairs, particularly through well-funded activist networks. As federal authorities and lawmakers intensify scrutiny, the case could set a precedent for how the U.S. addresses foreign-backed interference in civil unrest. With tensions escalating—evidenced by Code Pink activists confronting Rep. Luna—the clash between government oversight and alleged foreign-linked activism shows no signs of abating.
