FBI will investigate 'any evidence of a criminal conspiracy' in LA riots

The FBI says they'll investigate "any evidence of a criminal conspiracy" as the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles continue to rage amid a federal response including National Guard.

Dozens have been arrested in Los Angeles as cars have been burned and tensions between rioters and law enforcement tended to escalate later in the day over the weekend, and more unrest could occur on Monday night. 

President Donald Trump has sent in National Guard troops to reign in the riots, which the state of California is suing over, as Democratic leaders argue it's only instigating.

Andy Ngo of The Post Millennial reported that Antifa and others are likely playing a role in the riots, as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said that she’ll be introducing legislation to "designated ANTIFA as a terrorist organization."

The group had a public plan to pour $200 million to support candidates across the country in 2024, including Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid.

CHRILA told the New York Post that they have "not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally."

The Post reported that CHIRLA won $450,000 in grants from the Biden-era DHS, but $100,936 of "remaining, unobligated federal funding" for the award given to the group was scrapped by the Trump administration in March, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted to X on Sunday. 

The organization received millions in grants while President Joe Biden was in office, according to the outlet. The Post further reported that the PSL has ties to the Chinese Communist Party because of its backing from tech billionaire Neville Singham.

Fox News Digital has reached out to SEIU, the PSL, and CHIRLA for comment.
