Meet the Soros-funded groups stopping deportations
Left-wing activist groups funded by billionaire George Soros’ network are behind a push to stop the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens.
The Justice Action Center and Human Rights First sued the Trump administration after President Donald Trump signed an executive order revoking the parole of 532,000 illegal aliens. The migrants, who came from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti, had been granted parole by the Biden administration. Trump has given them the option of self-deporting or risk facing deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The activist groups succeeded in obtaining a ruling from Obama-appointed District Judge Indira Talwani last week that blocked the Trump administration from canceling the Biden parole program. In 2023, the Justice Action Center was paid $450,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
“JAC envisions a future where the freedom to move is respected, immigrant narratives are rooted in dignity and belonging, and people seeking safety can access protection through systems that value humanity over exclusion,” the organization says on its website. “To ensure an immigrant-inclusive world, this future must also embody intersectional justice, with racial, economic, gender, disability, and climate justice for all.”
Human Rights First received over $6 million from Open Society Foundations between 2016 and 2021.
Democracy Forward, another organization linked to Soros, helped drive the legal effort to stop the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens.
‘A grafting machine’
In February, billionaire Elon Musk took another public swipe at Soros, after last year asserting that Soros “fundamentally hates humanity.” On The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk explained how Soros leverages nonprofit organizations.
"George Soros is a systems hacker. He is a genius at arbitrage,” said the Tesla founder. “He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a non-profit, then lobby politicians to send a ton of money to that nonprofit so you can take what might be a $10M donation to a nonprofit, to create a nonprofit, and leverage it into a $1B NGO.
“Then the government continues to fund it every year, and it will have a nice sounding name like 'The Institute for Peace,' or something like that, but really it's a grafting machine.”
