George Soros wrecked American criminal justice — one leftist DA at a time

This week a Washington Post puff piece leaped to the defense of the progressive district attorneys propelled into office by the campaign cash of billionaire George Soros, portraying these prosecutors as well-meaning reformers besieged by racist Republicans.

But while Soros’ left-wing fans thrill to the way his funding has fundamentally transformed criminal justice across America, here’s what they won’t acknowledge: The results have been disastrous.

Through both direct and indirect donations, Soros has poured money into a staggering number of DA races across the country. ...

Soros realized these races are particularly vulnerable to outside influence: Few voters know who their district attorney is, despite the DA’s major role in shaping crime enforcement. ...

In 2021 Philadelphia, under Soros DA Larry Krasner, broke its all-time murder record — as did 12 other cities with progressive DAs.

In Chicago under DA Kim Foxx, overall reported crime skyrocketed by 369% between 2019 and 2023, driven largely by huge jumps in property crimes like motor vehicle theft.

Other major cities saw similar spikes.

In Oregon, under the direction of Soros-funded DA Mike Schmidt, drug decriminalization policies coincided with a huge spike in drug overdose fatalities, which more than tripled from 280 in 2019 to 956 in 2022.

A network of left-wing activist groups opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota has received millions of dollars in backing from a Soros family nonprofit.

The discovery is raising fresh questions about who is funding the protests that have repeatedly disrupted the state in recent weeks.

An independent analysis found that sixteen anti-ICE activist groups in Minnesota have received a combined $3,321,013 in funding and non-cash assistance since 2014 from the Headwaters Foundation for Justice.

The Minneapolis-based nonprofit is funded by the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations (OSF).

OSF was founded by radical billionaire George Soros and is now led by his son and heir Alex.

The funding has underwritten efforts to monitor, protest, and interfere with ICE enforcement, including a January 23 demonstration at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport that resulted in approximately 100 arrests after protesters blocked roadways and violated permit conditions, according to police.

The only way we will be safe from the murderous machinations of Gates, Soros, Schwab and similar billionaires The government should not get their money. Open to suggestions on who should get it.
