Trump Demands George Soros, Son Face Federal Charges
President Donald Trump is calling for federal racketeering charges against Democratic megadonor George Soros and his son, Alexander, according to a social media post on Wednesday.
“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump added.
Alex Soros has begun taking over his father’s foundation operations.
Both have drawn significant attacks from MAGA Republicans for his long history of financial support for Democrats and left-wing causes such as backing and helping elect local prosecutors who refuse to crack down on dangerous career criminals.
Former President Joe Biden awarded George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — shortly before leaving the White House in January.
As U.S. and Israeli forces continued joint military strikes against Iran earlier this week, a small protest took place in South Florida outside the new headquarters of Palantir Technologies. During the demonstration in Aventura, a woman struck a piñata resembling Trump while several attendees watched and applauded.
The protest occurred outside Palantir’s facility near Miami. The company is a government contractor that supports U.S. military and law enforcement operations through data analytics and artificial intelligence tools.
Among its projects is Project Maven, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze large volumes of data for military targeting and surveillance purposes. As Fox News noted further:
There, hammering away at the piñata was Britney Cooke, a member of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, a pro-China group that openly says it wants an “international socialist revolution.”
It has railed against “US hegemony” and the “American empire” and advocated for an “anti-imperialist mass revolutionary movement” in the U.S. from within the “belly of the beast.”
While local coverage framed the gathering as “a crowd” of “protesters” with “plenty of passion,” a Fox News Digital review of nonprofit filings, grant records and organizing materials indicates the event was orchestrated by groups operating within a sophisticated, donor-backed protest network with ties to far-left tycoons George Soros and Neville Roy Singham.
The findings raise important questions about how coordinated activist campaigns—led by organizations such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which openly oppose U.S. “imperialism” and support foreign adversarial regimes—are mobilizing against American military contractors. This is happening amid escalating conflicts abroad and increasing technological competition with China.
A spokesperson for Palantir declined to comment, and Singham did not respond to Fox News’ requests for comment.
“This type of fake activism disturbs me,” Chuck Flint, president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former assistant prosecutor in Florida, told Fox. “These groups are helping China and hurting the United States.”

“This is certainly not grassroots activism,” Flint added. “It looks more like a foreign influence operation that is actually weaponizing American tax laws to undermine American national security interests.”
With the help of Soros, apparently.
He noted, “It’s coming at a time when U.S. troops are relying on Palantir technology in active combat right now.”
The activities supporting these campaigns illustrate what experts call a well-organized protest infrastructure. This includes tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, digital messaging toolkits, and coordinated protest actions in various cities, all backed by shared leadership, research, messaging, and organizing efforts.
“As China wages an AI race with the U.S., the network has also supported regimes with well-documented histories of aggressive surveillance of their citizens and suppression of human rights,” Fox added.
Top DHS Special Agent And His Wife Found Dead
A Department of Homeland Security special agent and his wife were found dead in their New Jersey home in what appears to be a murder-suicide, prosecutors said.
Police in Sayreville responded to the couple’s home on Glynn Court around 8 p.m. July 3 and found Kelly Latauro, 46, dead inside the residence, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Her husband, 52-year-old Christopher Latauro, was discovered dead in the backyard.
Both appear to have been shot.
Authorities said Christopher is believed to be the shooter and the case is being investigated as a murder-suicide.
Police told residents to keep away from Glynn Court, from Deerfield Road to Scarlet Drive, briefly because of police activity.
The area was reopened about 40 minutes later, but police remained on scene.
According to NJ101.5, citing DHS records from 2019 and 2020, Christopher was a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security.
Authorities have not said what may have sparked the violence.
Kelly’s sister-in-law Robyn Perlman-Spencer confirmed her death in a Facebook post on July 7, remembering her in a heartbreaking tribute.
“As many of you may now know, my beautiful sister in law Kelly Iatauro was senselessly and suddenly taken from us on Friday. Kelly was a bright light- kind, thoughtful, hysterical, inappropriate, and just one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known. She left a lasting impression on anyone that was lucky enough to know her,” Robyn wrote in part.
Sayreville police confirmed officers responded to the Glynn Court residence on July 3 and found both people dead of gunshot wounds.
The incident is being treated as a murder-suicide, and Christopher is suspected to be the shooter, the spokesperson said.
The Department of Homeland Security and Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment on the case.
What began as a heavy police response to a deadly scene left two people dead and the quiet Middlesex County neighborhood stunned.
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened inside the home leading up to the gunfire.
Separately, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made headlines last week with an election-related announcement.
Mullin on Friday said officials who don’t cooperate with the administration’s election security efforts may be slapped with fines — and potentially prison time.
“If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections — and they chose not to — then those individuals can also be held accountable by fines, by penalties, and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time,” Mullin said during a press conference at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Mullin also promised DHS would work to “speed up our security enhancements” for states.
He vowed to hold up federal election security grants until state officials took steps the administration demanded, including running their voter registration lists through a system that checks for non-citizen voters on the rolls.
Mullin made his comments after President Donald Trump’s primetime address on election security Thursday night, when he repeated already known concerns about the security of voting systems, alleged Chinese efforts to get into voter rolls, and aired old gripes about the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.
In his remarks on Friday, the DHS secretary focused on DHS’s work with states to secure election systems and scrub voter registration rolls for fraud and concerns about noncitizen voting.
The Justice Department also sent letters this month threatening prosecution to election officials across the country if they don’t remove noncitizens from their voter rolls.
On Friday, Mullin seemed to suggest that the agency was able to estimate the numbers using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and said 23 states are already working with DHS to analyze voter rolls.
And he criticized the legal challenges that are hindering the administration’s efforts: Last month, a judge blocked the Trump administration from creating a database of information about Americans, including Social Security numbers and citizenship status.
