Soros-backed group accuses NJ Gov. Sherrill of spreading MAGA propaganda

A nonprofit organization backed by Soros held a demonstration outside New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s office on Monday afternoon, saying the Democratic governor is engaging in “MAGA propaganda” and not doing enough for immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Delaney Hall in Newark, N.J.

The protest mirrored the backlash Sherrill faced from far-left members of his own party. On its donation page, Cooper River Indivisible directs donors to the politically powerful Indivisible Project, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group that has been very active in supporting Democratic politicians.

They work closely with their 501(c)(3) sister organization, Indivisible Civics.

Indivisible receives money from the Open Society Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) fund backed by notorious Democratic donor George Soros.

NEW JERSEY BREAKERS ARE BITTING, KICKING AND PUNCHING THE ICE STUFF AS THE DELANEY HALL SCHOOL CONTINUES; 9 MORE ARRESTED: DHS

On Saturday morning, Sherrill said state police were present at the riot to protect agitators from ICE agents, but the violent confrontation the night before was primarily between local law enforcement and rioters, according to firsthand testimony from Fox News Digital.

State troopers, including some on horseback, deployed heavy riot control tactics Friday night, including noise bombs, tear gas grenades, pepper spray and riot shields, in an effort to disperse the crowds. Police had set up barriers for the area in the early afternoon and rioters had taken over it to fight against police.

“My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe, and the increased icing in the area outside Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety,” Sherrill wrote to X on Saturday morning. “We know lives will be at risk if this happens. And I will not accept that risk.”
