A wealthy American living in Communist China is now at the center of allegations that foreign-linked “dark money” helped fuel anti-ICE chaos in Minneapolis.
Allegations Put Foreign Influence Back in the Spotlight
Fox News Digital’s investigation centers on Neville Roy Singham, a former tech mogul who sold his IT consulting company in 2017 for $785 million and later relocated to Shanghai. The report alleges he has funneled more than a quarter-billion dollars into U.S. “dark money” organizations that, in turn, support far-left groups tied to protest mobilizations in Minneapolis. The core claim is influence-by-checkbook, with the funder living beyond easy reach of U.S. authorities.
According to the reporting, Singham’s footprint includes links to organizations described as central to activist organizing, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, The People’s Forum, and Code Pink. The investigation also describes an infrastructure designed to blur financial tracing—vague organization names, limited public transparency, and even mailbox-style office locations. The article further notes Singham’s proximity to pro-CCP media work through the Maku Group, which reportedly aims to “tell China’s story well.”
Congressional Scrutiny Targets “Virtually Untouchable” Networks
Congressional Republicans have framed the allegations as a national security and oversight problem, not merely a local protest story. The House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting that Singham, from inside the People’s Republic of China, has a history of assisting far-left entities that oppose U.S. interests and support U.S. adversaries. That letter, as described in the reporting, highlights jurisdictional realities: a U.S. citizen residing in China is harder to subpoena and investigate.
Separately, House Ways and Means Committee activity—reported as a 2024 letter led by Rep. Jason Smith—pressed the IRS about tax-exempt organizations alleged to promote CCP propaganda and related initiatives, including The People’s Forum. That matters because the tax code grants powerful privileges to nonprofits, and Congress has a duty to ensure those privileges are not being used to subsidize ideological projects tied to foreign messaging. The reporting stops short of proving command-and-control, but it documents escalating official concern.
Minneapolis Protests Turn Personal—and Target Institutions
The Minneapolis-area conflict described in the research is not abstract: it has spilled into churches, offices, and public order. On Jan. 19, 2026, anti-ICE agitators stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, an incident tied in reporting to organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong. Armstrong claimed a church pastor was a leader at ICE, a serious allegation that helped drive the confrontation. For many Americans, targeting religious services crosses a bright line, even when protesters claim political motivations.
Additional reporting describes agitators swarming Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s office at the state Capitol while demanding “immigration justice.” These episodes illustrate how immigration enforcement, a federal responsibility tied to sovereignty and the rule of law, becomes a flashpoint for street-level pressure campaigns. The research does not provide a full accounting of charges or outcomes from each incident, but it does show repeated disruption that local residents and congregations have had to absorb in real time.
Nonprofit Numbers Raise Questions About Mission Versus Activism
Financial disclosures highlighted in the research add another layer: how nonprofit money is spent versus what donors and the public may assume it supports. Fox News Digital cites 2024 tax filings showing the Wayfinder Foundation awarded $158,811 in grants while paying Armstrong $215,726 in salary plus $40,548 in additional compensation. Over 2019–2024, Armstrong reportedly received $936,395 in total compensation while the foundation disbursed about $700,052 in grants from $5,246,387 in revenue.
Those figures do not, by themselves, prove wrongdoing, because compensation can be lawful and grants can be structured in different ways. Still, they create a measurable accountability issue: when executive compensation outpaces outward grantmaking, watchdogs and donors typically ask what outcomes were delivered and whether the organization’s tax-advantaged purpose is being met. The reporting also notes a $20,000 donation to Wayfinder from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in 2023, adding to questions about interconnected activist funding.
What the Public Can Say With Confidence—and What Remains Unproven
The research provides documented datapoints—public tax filings, congressional letters, and a history of official attention—alongside allegations about downstream protest organization. It also includes expert commentary, including a former federal prosecutor who said Singham’s presence in China shields him from subpoenas, making him “virtually untouchable,” and a former Air Force JAG officer who argued Minneapolis protests reflect coordinated support that can lead to repeated criminal misconduct. Several named parties did not respond to requests for comment, and the reporting acknowledges limits on proving direct operational control.

For a country trying to restore border enforcement and rebuild respect for law after years of political chaos, the core constitutional concern is transparency: Americans should know when foreign-linked money, routed through opaque networks, is shaping domestic unrest and pressuring institutions. Congress can ask questions, but the next step will require enforceable oversight, clearer nonprofit accountability, and strong federal resolve to protect lawful enforcement activities from intimidation—no matter who is writing the checks or where they live.
