Gabbard highlighted that federal assets would be deployed to uncover financial influencers encouraging these protests, especially those opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/psaki-biden-to-unveil-immigration-agenda-next-tuesday\/\" title=\"Psaki: Biden to unveil immigration agenda next Tuesday\">illegal immigration<\/a>. She criticized California governor Gavin newsom for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >allegedly supporting drug cartel interests<\/a> by not condemning violent protests.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard claimed instances of advertisements posted on platforms like Craigslist, offering significant payment for participation in these riots, even though it was noted by the Associated Press that a specific ad she referenced was a hoax. Despite this, the larger issue of identifying financial backers for the protests remains relevant. One group, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, which has received substantial government funding, organized a rally against ICE. Their funding significantly increased, reportedly from $12 million to $34 million from state sources, raising questions about their role in associated protests. A spokesperson for the coalition denied any involvement in violent actions, asserting their focus on legal observance in immigration contexts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed that the Justice Department will be examining who may have funded recent riots in cities like Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard said in a Wednesday interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters that federal assets will be deployed to determine who may have been financially enticing the rioters, who opposed the efforts of ICE to deport illegal aliens.<\/p>\n<p>She also contended that California Democratic Gov.
