Taxpayer-funded NGO in NYC accused of bussing ‘non-citizens’ to No Kings protest

An undercover investigation by Muckraker uncovered that the No Kings protest wasn’t as grassroots as some would have you believe.

The outlet is accusing Make the Road New York, an organization that has “received millions of dollars from the federal government,” of “mobilizing and busing non-citizens into Manhattan to join the recent No Kings protest.”

From the video’s opening:

Bussing these people to the No Kings protest, if you can even imagine that. This is what’s going on right now in Brentwood, New York.

So as you have seen, organizations that are receiving your tax dollars have been bussing individuals, who may very well be non-citizens, to this protest here today.

Notice how many of them are wearing masks. They are hiding their identity do not want you to know what’s going on. We are at war.

The nearly 10-minute video dives into Make the Road New York and how an undercover journalist infiltrated one of its offices with a hidden camera. In one of the clips, an organizer seems to confirm that undocumented people are being included in the mobilization for these protests.

“The majority of our members here are undocumented,” community organizer Angel Vera says, according to the undercover video.

The day of the protest, one person confronted the journalist, asking whether non-citizens would be bused in, and was told he needed to “leave” because he was being “a pest” and trying to “harm people.”

X users had a lot to say about the video:

Why do these NGOs get taxpayer money in the first place! We need to stop funding them and take away their tax exempt status!

Last summer in NYC, I saw a woman signing up homeless people to participate in No Kings while sitting in a deli. They got lunch from the deli, a prepaid cellphone, a $250 gift card up front, and another $250 gift card after the protest.

The pest says the reporter is being a pest ..

Projection is always evident in their accusations.

They tell on themselves.

Busses running around with new foreigners, even today.

The NGO shell games are still going on.@POTUS @DHSgov

This is absolutely treasonous if true. People responsible for this should be held criminally liable.
