Fact check: What organizations have publicly supported anti-ICE demonstrations?

Checked on June 15, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Multiple sources confirm several major organizations have publicly supported anti-ICE demonstrations. The key organizations consistently mentioned across sources are:

  • Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) [1] [2]
  • Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and SEIU California [1] [2] [3]
  • Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) [1] [2]
  • Socialist Alternative LA and The People's Struggle San Fernando Valley [4]
  • Rise and Resist [3]

The demonstrations have occurred in over 40 cities across the United States, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Tampa, and San Francisco [3] [5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements were missing from the original question:

  • The demonstrations received support from prominent political figures including Bernie Sanders and Corey Booker [5]
  • The Million Voters Project (MVP) was also involved in organizing these demonstrations [6]
  • Some of these organizations have received significant public funding [2]
  • The protests were part of a larger coalition, with Emily Tovar organizing demonstrations in Los Angeles [4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question's simplicity could lead to several misconceptions:

  • It doesn't acknowledge the complex funding structures behind these organizations. Some receive public funding [2], which raises questions about the use of taxpayer money in political activism
  • The question doesn't address that these aren't isolated demonstrations but part of a larger coordinated effort across multiple cities [5]
  • The involvement of ANTIFA-affiliated networks [1] adds a political dimension that could be relevant to understanding the full scope of the demonstrations
  • Organizations involved have varying degrees of political alignment, from labor unions (SEIU) to explicitly socialist organizations (PSL), suggesting a broader political coalition rather than a single-issue movement [1] [2] [3]
