Missouri Senator Josh Hawley claims to have testimony from a
source indicating the existence of millions of dollars in funds of dubious
origin used to support the protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) in Minnesota.
According to the senator, approximately $60 million was
channeled through various organizations and activist networks to finance
mobilizations, logistics, communication campaigns, and other activities related
to the protests. Hawley described these funds as “dark money,” a term often
used to describe political contributions whose origin or funding structure is
not clearly disclosed.
The senator also indicated that, according to the
information provided by the witness, at least 14 groups were involved in the
distribution of these funds. Among them, he mentioned organizations that, he
claimed, maintain ties with the network of foundations associated with the
controversial Hungarian George Soros, a figure who frequently appears in
political debates related to the financing of progressive causes.
The accusations have generated mixed reactions. While some
sectors consider this a potential case that warrants an investigation into
transparency and political financing, others, particularly radical leftists,
warn that such allegations must be supported by verifiable evidence to avoid
premature conclusions or the politicization of the issue.
