Summary
FBI co-deputy director Chris Raia said the bureau’s Joint Mission Center has identified subjects tied to financing violent interstate protests and has moved from intelligence gathering into building prosecutable cases.
The center is tracing commingled nonprofit and advocacy money with FBI, Treasury and IRS specialists, as investigators try to separate legitimate funding from illicit support for political violence.
A related grand jury probe in Manhattan is seeking financial records tied to Neville Roy Singham and nonprofits that received about $285 million since 2017, though Raia did not discuss that case directly.
The unit was created this year after Trump’s NSPM-7 and now treats recurring unrest as a hybrid threat, with Raia citing anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, Newark and New York as examples of repeat actors.
