EXCLUSIVE: Activist Affiliated With Soros-Funded Group Faces Deportation

Claudia Rueda, a California State University-Los Angeles (CSULA) student detained by Border Patrol last week, is also an activist with the Immigrant Youth Coalition (IYC) – a group whose fiscal sponsor has received funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and other global, deep-pocketed donors. Rueda, an unlawfully present immigrant, now faces deportation and L.A.’s progressive community is rallying on her behalf.

“One of our most active and powerful students was picked up by border patrol,” wrote Melina Abdullah, a professor at CSULA, who also leads the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter. “We must stand up for Claudia.”
