Peter Schweizer joined Allie Beth Stuckey on Blaze TV to discuss his book the protests in Minneapolis and how they relate to his latest #1 New York Times bestseller, The Invisible Coup.
“What’s happening in Minneapolis is sort of a microcosm of a larger issue. And that is what I call the ‘weaponization of immigration.’ Our immigration debate, which is good and healthy, is about how it affects our economy, safety in our streets, getting these rapists off the streets,” Schweizer tells Stuckey.
“But there’s something more going on,” he said. “There are foreign actors: foreign governments like China and Mexico, foreign movements like the Muslim Brotherhood, who have weaponized immigration by importing or bringing foreign political and sometimes violent networks into our country.”
“The clash and the violence, and the corruption that we’re seeing in Minneapolis is also happening around the country from Los Angeles to New York City. It’s part of a larger civilizational struggle between the United States and these nefarious actors,” Schweizer said.
Stuckey asks about Mexican involvement and Schweizer explains from the book that there are Mexican politicians in the US, often working out of Mexico’s large network of consulates, to foment domestic political protest.
He tells of a Mexican official named Alejandro Robles. “He’s the head of international operations for the Morena party, which is the ruling party of Mexico,” Schweizer said. “And he, in 2025, was going across the United States to, in his words, ‘organize the militancy.’ He bragged about how he and migrants and people he was working with were at the forefront of civil resistance in America.”
“This is a foreign government official who lives in Ontario, California,” Schweizer said. “He [Robles] was meeting with the People’s Forum, which is an Antifa group in New York, and with many others. Then you look at what’s going on in Minneapolis, and you notice that Saint Paul has a Mexican consulate there. And there are several groups, such as CLUES [Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio] and another one called MIRAC [Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee], which are involved in some of these violent protests who do a lot of work with the Mexican embassy.”
He explains to Stuckey how this pattern repeats with the communist regime of China.
“Two of the very radical groups that you see pop up all the time in these street battles — Minneapolis, Los Angeles, certainly during BLM, certainly during the anti-Israel protests all across the eastern seaboard –are the Freedom Road Socialist Organization and PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation,” Schweizer said. “These are small, but they are extremely active. They believe in ‘direct action,’ which means, basically, violence.”
“And these two groups have committed themselves ideologically work with the Chinese Communist Party. Some of these groups are getting funding from a gentleman named Roy Singham, an American billionaire who lives in Shanghai and describes himself as a Maoist who is close to the CCP,” Schweizer added.
Stuckey argues that people like Renee Good and Alex Presti who put themselves in front of ICE officers justify this kind of agitation and impeding law enforcement operations, are encouraged to do it to generate images that are used as a catalyst for even more activism. “And within all of that, are these agitators and propagandists, aligned with foreign governments that are stoking the flames of this confusion?” she asks.
“That’s exactly right,” Schweizer agreed. “Let’s be honest, what they want is to ramp up the conflict. When you say we need to try to tone it down, the assumption there is that the other side also wants to tone it down, but the sad reality is these hardcore activists want martyrs. They want people that are getting shot and getting killed because it’s good for their cause… And it undermines American civilization,” Schweizer said.
