Lawmakers raise alarm over Neville Roy Singham’s $278M network spreading CCP propaganda in the U.S.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Members of Congress are raising concerns about a surge in pro-Chinese Communist Party propaganda and rhetoric in the U.S., citing organizations tied to Shanghai-based Marxist mogul Neville Roy Singham.
During interviews with Fox News Digital, a number of House and Senate members warned that nonprofits funded by Singham may be sowing discord in the U.S. by promoting communist propaganda and anti-American rhetoric.
«When you talk about the non-profits, you have to look at how China adversely uses or how China uses our non-profit 501(c)(3) status organizations to work as. CCP influencers,» Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital.

«Singham’s group is one of these, as they try to spread and influence other organizations and participate with other organizations in protests, in demonstrations that are going to create chaos in the streets of U.S. cities,» she said.

«When it comes to China specifically, they have used soft propaganda as a main point of entry with the United States,» she added.
According to a Fox News Digital investigation, Singham has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017. Officials from the Justice, State and Treasury departments are investigating financial activity tied to the network, including $22.5 million in funding directed to a group called The People’s Forum.
Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, is the co-founder of CodePink, a nonprofit that received $1.33 million from Singham, according to the Fox News Digital investigation. Over the years, CodePink has supported communist regimes, including the Chinese Communist Party and Cuba’s government.

While CodePink’s funding comes directly from Singham, not the government of China, critics allege that the difference is without a distinction.
«CodePink are AstroTurf weirdos bought and paid for by Communist China. They get their money from the most oppressive regime on the planet,» Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. «They’re a joke.»
CodePink filed an ethics complaint against Hawley for what he said was simply «exposing that they take blood money from China.»
Members of Congress raised concerns about how CodePink and the Singham network are able to operate without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires individuals doing public relations, engaging in political work or lobbying for any foreign government to disclose activities and finances to the Department of Justice.

«How they’re not registered under FARA is hard to understand because they’re very consistent. I mean, let’s at least give them credit for that,» Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.
Even former members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers are required to register under FARA if they lobby for a country or organization backed by a foreign country.
«It should be no surprise that, whether it’s folks associated with the Communist Party of China or, frankly, other anti-American groups, would be funding these groups in the United States. [These groups’] sole role is pretty evident, to protect, defend and support anti-Americans,» he added. «Whether it is terrorist groups [or] terrorist regimes like the one in Iran or the one in Cuba.»
SINGHAM-BACKED, PRO-CHINA GROUP DROPS HUGE SUM ON MANHATTAN HQ AS FEDS PROBE SHADOWY NETWORK
Singham sold his technology consulting company, Thoughtworks, in 2017 for an estimated $785 million and moved to Shanghai. In 2023, The New York Times published an exposé that connected him to the CCP and chronicled his determination to spread his radical, anti-West ideology in the U.S. and across the globe.
In its investigation, Fox News Digital followed the money trail and network that Singham uses to promote communist and Marxist ideologies among Americans, finding that he established an organizing hub in the U.S. with actions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protests against Israel, the U.S. and the nation’s domestic and foreign policies.
«The real crux of the matter is the genesis of that money — is [Singham] really that rich,» Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., asked Fox News Digital. «Or is it a false rich that, yeah, he’s got a billion dollars, but the billion dollars came from China communist China that they are actually funneling him, and then making believe, ‘Oh, no, he made that on his own.’ We’ve got to find out exactly where that money came from.»

Gimenez also noted what other lawmakers are pointing out: Individual agitators and demonstrators, in addition to Singham himself, are not registered with the Justice Department’s FARA office.
While Singham’s dealings have been investigated by a number of Congressional committees in the past, his residence in Shanghai shields him from being subpoenaed to appear before Congress
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has described Singham as «an individual who lives in Shanghai, maintains business ties with companies and individuals linked to the CCP, works with and physically alongside a foreign propaganda company, and attends CCP forums on how to promote the party abroad.»

Los bloqueos por el alza de combustibles dejan seis agentes heridos y varios arrestos en Guatemala
La Policía Nacional Civil (PNC) confirmó que seis agentes resultaron heridos durante el desalojo de un bloqueo el viernes 11 de septiembre, en el kilómetro 168 de la ruta a Cuyotenango, Suchitepéquez, en una jornada de protestas contra el aumento de los combustibles que también dejó vehículos incendiados en Zacapa y cortes en varios departamentos de Guatemala.
Un cierre continuaba activo el sábado 12 de septiembre a las 06:45 en el kilómetro 225 de la ruta departamental QUE-03, en la aldea Santo Domingo, Colomba Costa Cuca. El bloqueo había comenzado cuatro minutos antes, afectaba ambos sentidos de circulación y era el único punto cerrado en el reporte matutino de la Dirección General de Protección y Seguridad Vial (Provial); las demás rutas figuraban habilitadas.
El policía Ronal Gavino Morales Chávez sufrió un disparo en el estómago y fue trasladado en helicóptero a un centro asistencial de la Ciudad de Guatemala, después de ser estabilizado en el Instituto Guatemalteco de Seguridad Social de Mazatenango. Los otros cinco efectivos padecieron lesiones por explosiones de morteros, el impacto de una piedra en el cráneo y golpes en distintas partes del cuerpo.
La corporación indicó que sus Fuerzas Antidisturbios despejaron más del 90% de los puntos bloqueados en el país. El despliegue respondió a una orden de la Corte de Constitucionalidad para liberar las rutas con apoyo del Ministerio de Gobernación y el Ejército.
Dos focos de conflicto en Zacapa y Villa Nueva
Los incidentes persistían al cierre de la jornada en sectores de Zacapa y Villa Nueva, donde la PNC afirmó haber detectado la presencia de pandillas y estructuras del crimen organizado dentro de las manifestaciones. La institución acusó a esos grupos de usar a mujeres, adultos mayores y niños como escudos humanos.
La fuerza de seguridad solicitó la intervención de la Procuraduría de los Derechos Humanos y de la Procuraduría General de la Nación para proteger las garantías de los menores y las mujeres presentes en las zonas de conflicto. También pidió a los habitantes de los lugares donde continuaban los enfrentamientos que permanecieran en sus hogares mientras avanzaba el operativo.
“Atentar contra la paz en presencia de la niñez guatemalteca es un acto criminal que no quedará impune”, advirtió la policía. La institución requirió denuncias anónimas sobre actividades delictivas, instigación o presencia de personas infiltradas.
La PNC señaló que, con base en el artículo 257 del Código Procesal Penal, detendría en flagrancia a quienes obstruyeran las vías. Los vehículos y camiones utilizados deliberadamente para bloquear carreteras serían puestos a disposición de los tribunales para su comiso.
“Los promotores e instigadores de estos ataques violentos están debidamente perfilados e individualizados y enfrentarán todo el peso de la ley”, sostuvo la corporación.
Durante el operativo en Cuyotenango, las autoridades detuvieron a Armando Constancia Martínez, a quien le decomisaron piedras, hondas, morteros y otros objetos presuntamente utilizados para agredir a los agentes. El arresto se sumó a cuatro capturas previas por disturbios en San Miguel Petapa y Suchitepéquez.
En la zona cinco de Mixco, sobre la calzada San Juan, agentes de la comisaría 16 arrestaron a Juan “N”, de 44 años, y Joseline “N”, de 29, cuando arrojaban objetos contundentes contra policías que buscaban despejar la cuarta avenida.
Otros dos hombres fueron capturados en el kilómetro 19,5 de la ruta al Pacífico. William “N”, de 33 años, y Hugo “N”, de 28, estaban en un bloqueo que reunía a 150 personas, donde también se registró el lanzamiento de piedras contra los efectivos de seguridad.
La presencia policial fue reforzada en la colonia Bethania, el Anillo Periférico, Villa Nueva, la ruta al Atlántico y los sectores de Río Hondo y Zacapa, que concentraron algunos de los cierres más prolongados.
Camiones incendiados y reclamo de estado de excepción
La Cámara Guatemalteca de Transporte de Carga condenó los hechos de violencia, vandalismo y destrucción registrados durante las protestas, con especial referencia a la quema de vehículos y camiones de transporte pesado en la aldea Santa Cruz, en el kilómetro 124 de Zacapa.
“El derecho a manifestar nunca puede convertirse en una licencia para delinquir”, expresó la organización. El gremio sostuvo que ninguna causa justifica la destrucción de propiedad privada, las agresiones contra trabajadores ni la interrupción forzada de las principales vías de comunicación.
La cámara exigió al Gobierno de Guatemala el restablecimiento inmediato del orden y de la libre circulación en la carretera CA-9 y en todos los sectores afectados por bloqueos violentos. También reclamó al Ministerio Público una persecución penal inmediata contra los responsables materiales e intelectuales de la destrucción, los incendios de vehículos y las amenazas contra transportistas.
“Solicitamos respetuosamente, pero con absoluta firmeza”, al presidente que evalúe declarar un estado de excepción en los municipios donde la violencia haya superado la capacidad ordinaria de las autoridades, planteó el gremio.
Las movilizaciones surgieron después de que el Congreso de la República aprobara, con trámite de urgencia nacional, un decreto que establece precios máximos de referencia para el diésel y las gasolinas, además de un fondo de compensación para los importadores. Diversos sectores del transporte consideran insuficiente la medida frente al aumento de los combustibles registrado en los últimos meses.

Blue state governor’s pardon of convicted felon torpedos a major Supreme Court immigration fight
Judge called out for releasing MS-13 murder suspect in California
DHS general counsel James Percival warns of an ‘epidemic of judicial activism’ after a federal judge in California orders the release of an MS-13 murder suspect. Percival argues that individuals wanted for murder must remain in immigration detention during removal proceedings.

The Supreme Court will no longer hear an oral argument for a case centered on bond rights for noncitizens detained for lengthy periods, ruling the case moot after New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul pardoned a lawfully present Dominican citizen, who pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.
Hochul pardoned Keisy Guerrero Mariano, who is identified in court documents as «Keisy GM,» in late August, effectively killing the Trump administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court arguing that noncitizens, including those with green card status, do not have a legal right to a bond hearing for a prolonged detention if they have committed crimes that are grounds for mandatory deportation.
Hochul, who is staunchly opposed to President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown, issued the pardon for Mariano just as the brief was due.

Solicitor General John Sauer agreed Friday that Genalo v. Black is now moot, but said the Trump administration will seek an «alternative vehicle» to challenge the Second Circuit’s 2024 ruling that prolonged immigration detention can trigger a constitutional right to a bond hearing.
Sauer said the administration intends to find another case through which the Supreme Court can resolve the issue during its 2026-27 term.
The lawsuit centered on the challenges of plaintiffs Carol Williams Black, a Jamaican national with lawful standing, and Mariano — both convicted criminals detained by ICE.
APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN FROM HOLDING MIGRANTS WITHOUT BOND FOR OVER 90 DAYS
Mariano was first arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in 2020 over a 2015 second-degree assault conviction for which he served time, making him eligible for deportation.
He spent nearly two years in ICE detention, but was released in 2022 due to a nationwide injunction that required the release of detainees because of COVID-19 health risks.
Prior to his release, Judge John P. Cronan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied Mariano’s habeas corpus request in November 2021.

But in May 2024, the Second Circuit overruled Cronan’s decision, ruling that the government must grant noncitizens a bond hearing once detention becomes «unreasonably long.» Failure to do so, the court ruled, would violate the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause.
The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case June 15; however, the high court ruled Black’s case moot because he had left the United States and filed a court declaration that he would not be returning to the country.
Black was convicted in New York in 2000 of sexually abusing a minor under the age of 11.

DHS BLASTS MINNESOTA BOARD FOR UNANIMOUSLY PARDONING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CONVICTED OF 3 ASSAULTS
Hochul’s decision to issue a pardon to Mariano has garnered fierce criticism from legal experts.
«Pretty wild to fully pardon an aggravated felon to (1) stop the felon from getting deported and (2) stop the Supreme Court from ruling on an issue. (Especially as this litigation has been going on for years),» Eric Wessan, Iowa’s solicitor general, posted on X.
He praised Sauer’s decision to fight back on the Second Circuit’s ruling.
«I wonder how many non-American felons Governors like Hochul will choose to fully pardon and free to avoid them facing consequences for their actions,» Wessan added.

Abdul El-Sayed touts ‘whole a–’ medical credentials while defending sex changes for children
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said the government should not restrict sex changes, arguing that «whole a–» doctors like himself should be allowed to make their own determinations for patients’ treatment plans.
The remarks came during El-Sayed’s Friday rally held at Michigan State University, during which the former Detroit Health Department head responded to a student’s question about protecting sex changes. Since launching his campaign, El-Sayed has flaunted that he is a «physician» and, if elected, he would be the first doctor to serve as a Democratic senator in 50 years. However, Fox News Digital previously reported El-Sayed has never held a medical license in Michigan or New York.
«I went to a whole a– medical school, everybody I graduated with also went to whole a– medical school,» El-Sayed said. «And then… they went to whole a– residency. Right? And some of them went to whole a– fellowship. They took whole a– exams to provide whole a– healthcare.»

«They are the experts that a patient wants to see when they seek care,» El-Sayed continued. «And the decision about what healthcare is necessary ought to be held between a patient — and or their parents if they’re under the age of 18 — and their doctor. That’s it.»
The remarks come as the Trump administration has made major strides in restricting minors’ access to «sex-rejecting» procedures, which include hormone therapy and surgeries.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced that Mount Sinai had joined other hospitals, like Texas Children’s Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Connecticut Children’s Hospital, to halt sex change procedures for children after reaching an agreement with the Trump administration.
MEDICAID ENDS FUNDING FOR CHILD SEX-CHANGE PROCEDURES AS TRUMP ADMIN SLAMS ‘EXPERIMENTAL’ TREATMENTS
El-Sayed has made the promise of «Medicare-for-all» — government-run healthcare — as the major selling point of his campaign; he said that even though the government will be covering the bill, it needs to stay out of the doctor’s decisions about a patient’s treatment plan.
«I don’t think the government gets to have a say about what healthcare is provided in what circumstances and why,» El-Sayed said. «And to me, that is the standard on which we decide how we make healthcare decisions.»
THE MEDICARE FOR ALL TRADE-OFFS SOCIALISTS AREN’T TALKING ABOUT, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS

«Not what the government says you can or can’t do, but what a patient and/or their parent, if they’re under 18, and their provider to decide. That’s the most important thing,» El-Sayed continued. «And there’s a lot of disinformation about us, what we’re talking about, when we talk about reproductive rights and when we’re talking about healthcare for the trans folks. But, in the end, the place where the rubber meets the rope is in that clinical room between a patient and a provider, and that to me is the center we should engage on.»
El-Sayed argued that Republicans agree with his belief that treatment decisions should be between a patient and their doctor, pointing to the Right to Try Act, which allows terminally ill patients to try experimental drug treatments that aren’t yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration after they have exhausted all other treatment options.
«Because conservatives fought for a very long time for this legislation called ‘Right to Try’ legislation, which is the idea that the government couldn’t tell you [that] you couldn’t have a certain medication,» El-Sayed said.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROBE COULD UPEND WIDELY USED TRANSGENDER YOUTH TREATMENT GUIDELINES

«So they agree that the decision about healthcare ought to be between the person and their provider. That’s it. So let’s use that standard, and keep to that standard, and make sure the government doesn’t have the ability to tell you what you can or cannot do with your own life,» El-Sayed said.
However, the research on the efficacy of treating individuals with gender dysphoria by allowing them to change sexes with «cross-sex» hormones and puberty blockers is limited.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, whose guidelines are used by leading medical associations like the American Academy of Peditatrics, is currently facing a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission stemming from allegations that its guidelines misled parents about the «medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness» of sex change procedures.
The FTC has accused WPATH of failing to disclose the side effects associated with some procedures, such as patients experiencing incontinence, erectile pain, mood disturbances, pelvic pain and vaginal pain stemming from «cross-sex» hormones.
Meanwhile, countries that have socialized medicine have put restrictions in place for minors seeking sex changes. In England, the National Health Service put a pause on «cross-sex» hormones for 16- and 17-year-olds in March after finding research was «really weak» to support it.
The country already had a ban in place restricting children under 16 years old from taking sex-change hormones.
El-Sayed’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment regarding his medical credentials.
