(Zero Hedge)—The Department of Justice has been tightening the noose around the Vera Institute of Justice, a leftist, billionaire-backed nonprofit that has long acted as a shield for illegal aliens. The DOJ has slashed millions in taxpayer funding to the rogue nonprofit, which is reportedly operating a real-time alert system designed to track ICE raids and warn criminal illegal aliens to avoid certain areas and evade arrest.
By now, the DOJ has likely seen, or at least we can hope, the latest undercover investigation by James O’Keefe’s team, which features a secretly recorded interview with Santiago Mueckay, associate director of Vera’s Advancing Universal Representation initiative.
In the footage, Mueckay openly admits to the undercover reporter that leftist billionaires are bankrolling Vera’s operations.
“It’s usually like foundations, like the Gates Foundation, or Jeff Bezos, or some of these huge philanthropists, who have millions of dollars,” Mueckay said in the video.
Mueckay shared information with the reporter that points to Vera creating a database monitoring ICE trends nationwide to alert criminal illegal aliens about impending raids.
“We know which states are being targeted… If you see someone [from ICE], you can text the group and it’ll go on a website, so people [illegals] can avoid the area,” Mueckay said, adding, “We [Vera] keep track of everything that’s happening with ICE.”

Mueckay has since had his social media accounts, such as LinkedIn and X, scrubbed from the internet.

O’Keefe published a statement from Vera, denying that the leftist billionaires are funding their “immigration work.”
Meanwhile, on the Gates Foundation’s website…
According to its charter and mission statements, the nonprofit claims to work toward: “Securing equal justice, ending mass incarceration, and strengthening families and communities.”
However, in practice, Vera has become a known supporter of illegal aliens, most notably by tipping off illegal aliens, which only undermines national security and puts public safety at risk. Let’s not forget these databases could be used by ‘civil terrorism’ agents to attack ICE agents.

Here’s how One City Rising co-founder and strategist Jason Curtis Anderson views Vera:
The thing about this story that bothers me the most isn’t just the disregard for federal immigration law—it’s the open willingness to put American law enforcement officers in direct danger. When an organization like the Vera Institute of Justice leaks information about ICE operations to illegal immigrants, they are not just undermining public safety—they’re actively enabling potentially violent individuals, including transnational gang members like Tren de Aragua and cartel operatives, to prepare for or evade arrest.
These aren’t hypotheticals. ICE officers are already seeing an 830% increase in violent attacks—and it’s only getting worse. We know that hundreds of gang members and nearly 300 individuals on the terrorist watchlist have been caught at the border, and many more have likely slipped through. Yet somehow, the narrative pushed by groups like Vera flips the script: the person resisting arrest is automatically treated as a victim, while the officer doing their job is painted as the enemy.
A quick look at Vera’s 990s shows major funding from the same foundations—Tides, Ford, Open Society—that have created a billion-dollar advocacy ecosystem bent on dismantling law enforcement under the guise of reform. This isn’t reform—it’s subversion, and it empowers criminal networks while leaving American communities and the officers who serve them to deal with the actual dangers.
The big question is: Why subvert national security? Is it to exploit illegal aliens as cheap, disposable labor for the billionaire-controlled globalist corporations, or maybe to stack future elections with blue votes? Whatever the motive, this isn’t ‘America First’, it’s ‘America Last.’ And it puts law-abiding citizens’ lives at risk as this nonprofit tips off illegals for their leftist billionaire friends.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
Undercover ICE Agents disguised as plumbers, electricians, door dash, etc?
The big question isn’t why would the nonprofits do this or foundations fund it, the big question is why aren’t these agencies and foundations arrested and fined for obstruction of Justice and aiding and abetting criminals? And the correlate question, why haven’t the leakers been ferreted out, fired, and arrested for treason?
