Democrat Senator has been funding left-wing group behind anti-ICE protests, mass unrest strategy
|
[JustTheNews] Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., created a political committee that has funded the Indivisible Project, a group at the center of coordinating anti-ICE protests alongside anti-Israel, Marxist and left-wing organizations, several with questionable foreign actor relationships.
The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the "Resistance" talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country.
Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show.
Indivisible says that it “drives coordinated campaigns, powering the grassroots Indivisible movement to defeat the rightwing takeover of American government” and it claims that “an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy.”
Indivisible is part of a network of left-wing organizations that have recently been at the center of various protest movements against the Trump administration, from being the lead organizer of the No Kings rallies, to anti-ICE protests, to opposing the U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro earlier this year.
NETWORK INCLUDES ENTITIES UNDER SUBPOENA REGARDING THE FOREIGN AGENT REGISTRATION ACT
Some of its partners in this network, including the People’s Forum, funded by self-proclaimed Marxist Neville Roy Singham, have drawn scrutiny from lawmakers for alleged foreign ties, specifically to China and Cuba, as well as possible violations of nonprofit laws. This network has been responsible for organizing the most prominent demonstrations against the Trump administration. Just the News previously reported on the subpoena targeting Singham.
Murphy’s PAC has also partnered with organizations that provide legal representation to illegal immigrants in both Texas and Minnesota. Both states have been rocked by anti-ICE protests and alleged left-wing anarchist activity targeting immigration facilities.
The American Mobilization PAC did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.
The Connecticut senator said the purpose behind the new PAC was to achieve “mass mobilization” to ensure that President Trump is unable to “convert a democracy to something very different.”
“We may not have another election, at least a free and fair election, if we don’t stop this slide away from free speech and democracy quickly,” Murphy said. And what we know from history is that the only way to stop a, you know, would-be tyrant from cratering, from destroying a democracy is mass mobilization.”
Murphy, who was first elected to the Senate in 2012, originally built a reputation in the chamber as a bipartisan operator willing to seek out deals with the other side. But, after President Trump returned to office last year, the senator went all in on a new, aggressively partisan message, a shift that he has publicly acknowledged.
MURPHY: "THIS THREAT IS UNIQUE"
“This may look a little schizophrenic, having gone from spending two years writing big bipartisan deals on guns or on immigration to now being out front in trying to fight for the survival of the democracy and using really tough language about my Republican colleagues,” Murphy told NBC News in an interview in March 2025.
“I mean, every Democrat could just continue to run in the same direction they’ve been running for the last 10 years. Or you could realize that this moment is different, that this threat is unique—and to me, you know, we don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months,” he explained.
The rebranded Murphy took to Instagram and Facebook, spending lavishly on ads, to boost his new message. His PAC has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2025. Recipients include Democratic candidates across the country, immigrant rights groups, and environmental organizations, according to Federal Election Commission records for the PAC.
Indivisible is unique as one of the single largest recipients of funds from Murphy’s PAC in 2025. In December 2025, the American Mobilization PAC donated $100,000 in two separate payments to Indivisible, one from its political account and one from its non-contribution account, records show.
Murphy's own website confirms the partnership, describing the funds as going to help Indivisible "ramp up for their next chapter of work and build up durable mass mobilization capacity across the country," including "training staff and volunteers, paying for materials, recruiting volunteers, acquiring permits, and more."
The Indivisible Project was the primary organizer for No Kings protests in 2025, coordinating demonstrations in nearly every U.S. state. The NoKings.org website identifies Indivisible as a founding coalition partner.
At the same time, its "Halt the ICE Terror Machine" campaign, was primarily geared towards pushing back on the administration’s enforcement actions in Minnesota last year, where confrontations between protesters and immigration officers resulted in two shootings. The Trump administration eventually scaled back its operations there in response to the pushback.
YEARS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING
Indivisible was again at the forefront of the latest round of organized anti-ICE demonstrations, this time in Newark, New Jersey, that have been ongoing for weeks, at Delaney Hall, the Newark, N.J., ICE detention facility. The local New York chapter of Indivisible teamed up with a coterie of anti-Israel, Marxist and Democratic organizations, including "Palestine Solidarity Working Group" to Al-Awda and 50501.
A Fox News Digital investigation found that the protests there are far from a spontaneous demonstration of rage, but rather are the “result of years of strategic planning” by the network of groups seeking to exploit a local controversy to carry out a wider attack on the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations.
The operation bears other signs of advanced planning, including tents stocked with respirators, goggles, protective pads, and decontamination supplies, Fox News Digital reported.
Just the News has previously reported on the work of the at times amorphous network of protest groups and organizers that surface at such demonstrations. For example, the radical Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the left-wing BreakThrough News media outlet, and the Manhattan-based Marxist revolutionary People’s Forum were all involved in either promoting or organizing Minnesota-based anti-ICE protests and boycotts.
Murphy's American Mobilization Project represents a significant and deliberate shift for the Connecticut senator, from bipartisan dealmaker to financier of the activist left's protest infrastructure, whose organization is helping build, fund, and sustain a nationwide protest apparatus whose reach extends well beyond the Democratic mainstream Murphy long called home.
