A taxpayer-funded NGO called Make the Road New York bused noncitizens straight into the No Kings protests in Manhattan. This organization pulled in over 16 million dollars in government grants in 2023 alone, with 1.6 million of that coming directly from federal taxpayers.
Muckraker’s undercover work nailed it down: Make the Road NY organized the transport, rounded up noncitizens, and surged them into the streets to attack President Trump’s agenda on immigration enforcement and American sovereignty.
Mobilization in New York City
This operation targeted the heart of New York City during the March 28 No Kings events. Protesters shut down Midtown streets, blocked traffic, and screamed against ICE and federal border policies.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. A taxpayer-funded NGO has been exposed busing NONCITIZENS into the No Kings protests

Make the Road NY did not hide its role. The group coordinates immigrant communities, pushes for laws that shield illegal entrants, and mobilizes bodies to create chaos that pressures lawmakers to weaken enforcement. Every busload delivered more voices demanding open borders while American citizens foot the bill for the entire show.
The Mechanics of Noncitizen Power
Make the Road NY operates as a machine built to expand noncitizen power inside the United States (More Info on gazetteller.com). It claims 30,000 members focused on workers, tenants, and immigrants. In reality, it funnels public money into organizing that directly opposes Donald Trump’s efforts to secure the border and deport criminal aliens.
The group lobbies for driver’s licenses for illegals, fights local cooperation with ICE, and builds networks that treat American borders as suggestions rather than law. Tax dollars flow to this outfit through federal grants and state contracts, then get recycled into busing operations that pack protests with people who have no legal right to shape U.S. policy.

Engineered Protests and Funding Networks
The No Kings protests formed part of a larger coordinated push. A network of roughly 500 activist groups with combined revenues near 3 billion dollars backed the events nationwide. These outfits push the same anti-enforcement line: end ICE operations, stop deportations, and keep the flood of noncitizens coming.
Make the Road NY sits at the center in New York, using its taxpayer lifeline to deliver bodies on demand. Undercover footage confirms the buses carried noncitizens who joined the march against Trump’s immigration crackdown. This is engineered turnout paid for by the very Americans whose communities suffer from unchecked illegal immigration.
Opposition to the America First Mandate
President Trump entered his second term with a clear mandate to restore order at the border. He moved immediately to ramp up deportations, cut off sanctuary protections, and dismantle the incentives that draw millions across the line. Make the Road NY and its allies answer that mandate with manufactured street pressure.
They bus in noncitizens who benefit directly from weak borders—people who use public services, drive down wages for American workers, and strain housing and hospitals in cities like New York. Every dollar Make the Road NY receives subsidizes this resistance.
Federal grants to this NGO covered:
- Legal services
- Community organizing
- Survival support

These services double as mobilization infrastructure. The same staff and resources that help noncitizens navigate benefits also schedule buses, print signs, and turn out crowds for No Kings. Taxpayers watched their money underwrite protests that blocked streets, disrupted commerce, and targeted the administration working to protect them.
Impact on Working Americans
The damage hits working Americans hardest. Illegal immigration drives up crime in certain neighborhoods, overwhelms schools, and forces local budgets to stretch thin on services for noncitizens instead of citizens.
Make the Road NY fights every attempt to prioritize Americans (More Info on gazetteller.com). It pushes bills to block state resources from supporting deportations and demands more funding for “excluded workers”—code for those here illegally. The group’s actions during No Kings exposed the pipeline: public money in, protest surge out, policy pressure against Trump.
Calls for Congressional Action
Congress holds the power to end this immediately. Every grant to Make the Road NY must get cut. Federal agencies must audit past disbursements and claw back funds used for political mobilization. States like New York must follow suit and defund any contracts tied to this network.
President Trump’s team already signals zero tolerance for waste that undermines America First. Defunding outfits like Make the Road NY forms a direct strike against the infrastructure fueling anti-sovereignty protests.
This exposure confirms the pattern. NGOs funded by taxpayers operate as opposition research and street muscle against the elected president. They import participants who lack citizenship yet demand veto power over border security.

The No Kings events in NYC showed the scale: thousands in the streets, many delivered by Make the Road NY buses carrying noncitizens. The goal stays clear—overwhelm enforcement, exhaust public support for deportations, and preserve the open-border status quo.
Muckraker’s confirmation leaves no room for denial. Make the Road NY took millions in taxpayer cash and deployed it to bus noncitizens into protests aimed at stopping Trump’s restoration of American sovereignty.
The funding pipeline must get severed now (More Info on gazetteller.com). Every continued dollar prolongs the assault on citizens who voted to secure the border and put America first.
Cut the funding, dismantle the machine, and let the protests collapse without public subsidy. This ends here.
