In the context of illegal immigrant deportation operations promoted by the Donald Trump administration, mobilizations are being recorded in different cities in the United States, led by far-left groups that seek to interfere with the procedures of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In this context, cases have emerged that opened the debate about the true origin and organization of these protests, as well as about the possibility that many of them are financed by external actors with the objective of generating unrest.
One of the most recent cases occurred in the city of Minneapolis, where Fox News journalist Laura Ingraham spoke in the street with a demonstrator who was actively participating in a protest against ICE.

During the exchange, which took place while a mobilization was underway, the journalist asked her a direct question about her employment situation. "Do you have a job?", Ingraham asked. The demonstrator's response drew attention for its bluntness: "They are paying me right now", she shouted.
The episode caused controversy and showed that the demonstrators who participate in protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies do not do so spontaneously, but as part of organized and financed actions.
The exchange took place in the context of protests that tend to arise recurrently whenever deportation operations of illegal immigrants are activated in different cities in the country.
A second case exposes a similar scenario, although in a different context. After the capture of the narco-terrorist leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, during a special United States military operation in Caracas, mobilizations by far-left groups were recorded in rejection of President Donald Trump's action and in defense of the Venezuelan dictator.

In this context, it was recently revealed that among the convening organizations is the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), a group that received funding from the Open Society Foundation, linked to businessman George Soros. According to the information released, this organization promoted a series of mobilizations at a global level through posters and public slogans.
In these materials, AFGJ called for protests in front of "U.S. embassies, military bases, city halls, and other sites", with the stated objective of "defending Venezuelan sovereignty and its right to resist".
Both episodes, presented in different contexts but with common elements, demonstrate that, far from being citizens' protests with genuine expressions, they are far-left demonstrators financed with specific political objectives.
