When ICE conducted raids Friday morning at multiple locations in downtown Los Angeles, violent protesters impeded their work at both the staging location at a Home Depot in Paramount and outside the targeted business in downtown. Things might have stayed somewhat contained but for the involvement of two powerful and high-profile leftist community “leaders.”

One of those people, SEIU California President David Huerta, was arrested for interfering with federal officers after he got in the way of ICE officers. After his arrest, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Gil Cisneros, and other Democrat elected officials decried the action.

Then Angelica Salas, Executive Director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) held a press conference calling for broad demonstrations against ICE, and tensions and violence escalated from there.

Hundreds of “protesters” turned into thousands of rioters before long, complete with matching t-shirts and professionally printed signs, signaling the involvement of organizations with some degree of funding behind them.

As Data Republican found, CHIRLA and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSLWEB) are two of the NGOs implicated in this ongoing riot.

According to NIH records, Libo Shan and Ping He received more than $7.6 million in total funding between two sponsored projects, awarded one to each scientist. Both NIH projects (R35GM144275 and R35GM149197) were cited in at least two research papers involving both Jian and Liu, the indicted Chinese nationals. 

Other research papers on which both Jian and Liu were authors cite awards from the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

Citizens of the People’s Republic of China, Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu, have been charged with conspiracy and smuggling a fungus classified as a bioweapon into the United States.

Scientific literature identifies the fungus “Fusarium graminearum” as a potential agroterrorism weapon because it causes “head blight” — a destructive plant disease, according to an announcement Tuesday from the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) in the Eastern District of Michigan.

The statement adds that the disease affects “wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.”

Additionally, the noxious fungus produces toxins that “cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Jian in connection with allegations related to her and Liu’s smuggling activities, according to the USAO.

“The alleged actions of these Chinese nationals—including a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party—are of the gravest national security concerns. These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon’ into in the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme,” said Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr., United States Attorney.

According to the complaint, Jian allegedly received funding from the Chinese government to conduct research on this pathogen in China, the press release noted.

Her electronic devices allegedly contain evidence of her affiliation with and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the complaint obtained by the USAO said.

The complaint further alleges that Jian’s boyfriend, Liu, is a researcher at a Chinese university studying the same pathogen. (RELATED: Editor Daily Rundown: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent To Meet CCP Officials For Trade Talks)

The complaint alleged he initially denied and then later admitted to smuggling the fungus into the U.S. through Detroit Metropolitan Airport to conduct research at the University of Michigan lab where Jian worked, the press release stated.

“Today’s criminal charges levied upon Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu are indicative of CBP’s critical role in protecting the American people from biological threats that

it involves a researcher from a major university attempting to clandestinely bring potentially harmful biological materials into the United States,” said Marty C. Raybon, Director of Field Operations for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

“This was a complex investigation involving CBP offices from across the country, alongside our federal partners. I’m grateful for their tireless efforts, ensuring our borders remain secure from all types of threats while safeguarding America’s national security interests,” Raybon added.

Jian will be appearing in federal court Tuesday in Detroit for her initial appearance on the complaint, according to the USAO. (RELATED: Students Reportedly Uncover Chinese Espionage At Top California University)

This case is under investigation by the FBI and CBP.

Newly obtained donor records revealed that hundreds of thousands of dollars have flowed from entities linked to the Chinese government into the coffers of the University of California, Berkeley, one of the most prestigious public institutions in the nation.

Members of the Chinese Communist Party, a sanctioned Chinese research university, and Chinese state-owned enterprises have all routed donations to UC Berkeley, according to documents received by the Washington Free Beacon via a public records request. The outlet’s report came on the heels of the Trump administration launching an investigation into the university over its failure to disclose a $220 million research deal with China’s Tsinghua University — a state-run institution with deep ties to the People’s Liberation Army.

Tsinghua isn’t the only Chinese university with questionable ties that UC Berkeley has financially entangled itself with. The University of Science and Technology of China sent $60,000 to UC Berkeley to support its chemistry program in 2023. Just a year later, the Department of Commerce blacklisted the Chinese university for “acquiring and attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items in support of advancing China’s quantum technology capabilities, which has serious ramifications for U.S. national security given the military applications of quantum technologies.”

The federal government spent more than $27 million on a nonprofit that texts sexually explicit health advice to children, tells them how to use sex toys and tests them for HIV without notifying or seeking permission from parents.

The Center for Innovative Public Health Research said researchers obtained “waivers” from a review board under the oversight of the Health and Human Services Department to secretly enroll children in government-funded studies of teenage sexual behavior.

Researchers at the center, administering a program on teen pregnancy called “Girls2Girls,” explained they did not want parents to know about their children’s involvement.

“We were granted a waiver of parental permission so that girls who wished to participate would not have to put themselves in a potentially unsafe situation by disclosing their sexual identity to their parents,” Center Director Michele L. Ybarra wrote in a report about the program.

Researchers said the program tested ways to lower pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers as young as 14, through text messaging and to determine if the program “helps teens make healthier choices.”

Teen birth rates are on the decline in the United States, HHS reported. The department cited interventions such as sex education and access to contraception.

But critics say the secret HHS studies, even though aimed at cutting teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, violate parental rights.

“It’s deeply unethical, and this has been going on for 10 years,” said Hannah Grossman, a researcher and reporter with the Manhattan Institute who uncovered the non-profit’s secret texting program. “Parents are not aware that there are adults texting their children about sex and sex activities. And this has all been funded by the federal government.”
