Radical left-wing activist organizations have been identified as key drivers behind recent protests opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minnesota, according to reporting by the New York Post. Among the most visible groups is Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots volunteer network but has played a central role in organizing demonstrations against ICE activity across the state.

The protests intensified after the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot during an ICE-related incident after allegedly attempting to strike an agent with her vehicle. Activist groups have disputed law enforcement accounts, portraying Good as a peaceful “legal observer” rather than a threat. Her death has since become a rallying point for anti-ICE demonstrations.

Financial records show that the Indivisible Project, the Washington, D.C.–based organization linked to Indivisible Twin Cities, received approximately $7.85 million from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023. The national group openly states that its mission is to oppose the Trump political agenda, raising questions about how localized the Minnesota protests truly are.

Other organizations have also been involved, including the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Its executive director, Jaylani Hussein, has spoken at protests, accusing authorities of spreading false information about Good’s death. Additional reporting describes Good as an active member of “ICE Watch,” a Minneapolis-based activist group focused on monitoring and disrupting immigration enforcement.

Civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong has emerged as another prominent organizer. She has helped coordinate networks of legal observers, promoted protests and vigils on social media, and previously played a major role in demonstrations following the death of George Floyd in 2020. Armstrong has also publicly criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s recent political decisions.

Immigrant Defense Network leader Edwin Torres DeSantiago has likewise been involved, accusing former President Trump of spreading fear through immigration policy. Meanwhile, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett suggested that Good’s spouse could face potential legal scrutiny if evidence shows obstruction of law enforcement. The situation remains politically charged as investigations and protests continue.
