Amid ongoing anti-ICE protests, Adam Swart, CEO of California-based firm Crowds on Demand, revealed that his company has received high-budget requests to supply demonstrators but declined them to avoid any involvement in illegal activities. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Swart detailed how his firm supports advocacy efforts but distinguishes itself from more aggressive or unethical operations.

He explained that some protest groups use geolocation and encrypted apps to deploy paid activists rapidly—an indicator of non-organic participation. Swart cautioned that violent agitators often hijack genuine movements and shouldn’t define peaceful protests. He also speculated that some activist groups may have informants within ICE, allowing rapid protest mobilization ahead of raids. While he admits lacking direct proof of paid protesters, Swart suspects financial incentives, citing instances of legal defense packages and luxury accommodations as indirect compensation. He emphasized that these practices reward disruptive behavior discreetly and could undermine the credibility of legitimate activism.
