THE “AM I NEXT?” PROJECT: A $100M ELITE SCAM TO SHIELD CRIMINALS UNDER THE GUISE OF “ART”

Los Angeles is currently the scene of a massive, illuminated gaslighting operation. While the Trump administration moves to restore the rule of law, the woke elite—led by the California Community Foundation (CalFund) and Karen Bass—have launched a high-tech “protest art” campaign called “Am I Next?” They are projecting billboard-sized portraits of “everyday Angelenos” onto downtown buildings, trying to convince you that federal agents are “snatching” innocent people. But let’s look past the black-and-white photography. This isn’t about “civil liberties”; it’s about the unholy alliance between multi-million dollar non-profits and the open-borders lobby to protect a system of lawlessness that has been bleeding LA dry for years.

The “Victim” Narrative: Masking the 65,000 Detainees

The campaign uses names like “Mauricio,” “Rosalina,” and “Juan” to tug at your heartstrings. They claim these people are being “snatched” from bus stops and construction sites. But here is the number they don’t want you to focus on: 65,000. That is the number of people currently in federal detention.

The activists claim 74% have no “criminal convictions,” but they are intentionally ignoring the federal crime of illegal entry and the violation of deportation orders. By framing law enforcement as “masked cowards,” CalFund CEO Miguel Santana isn’t protecting citizens; he’s leading a coordinated effort to delegitimize the very agents tasked with keeping the city safe from the gangs and cartels that thrive in the shadows of sanctuary status.

The Controversy Everyone is Ignoring: Who Is Funding the Propaganda?

The “Am I Next?” project isn’t a grassroots movement; it is a highly funded corporate operation. CalFund manages over $2.3 billion in assets. They aren’t “the oppressed”—they are the Institutional Elite.

While the average Angeleno struggles with 10% inflation and rising crime, these non-profits are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on high-powered projectors and Pulitzer-winning photographers. They are using your city as a canvas for a political war, all while their wealthy donors sit safely behind gated communities in Bel Air, far away from the ICE raids they claim to despise. Why are billionaires so desperate to keep the border open? Follow the cheap labor, and you’ll find your answer.

The “Cold Hard Truth” from the Insiders

What are the insiders saying behind closed doors? Sources within the Department of Homeland Security are laughing at the “Am I Next?” projections. They point out that the Japanese American National Museum—which is participating in the project—was the site of a raid in August 2025 during a Gavin Newsom event.

The insiders’ roast is brutal: “They want to compare 1942 to 2025? It’s a joke.” In 1942, citizens were targeted based on race. In 2025, agents are targeting specific individuals with final orders of removal. The activists are using the trauma of the past to shield the illegalities of the present. Even Karen Bass and George Takei have lent their faces to this, proving that the LA political machine cares more about a photo-op than the actual safety of the tax-paying citizens of Los Angeles.

Deep Background: The “Taken” Lies

The “Taken” section of the project claims people are being snatched without “due process.” This is a bold-faced lie. Most of these individuals have had years of court dates, appeals, and stays. They were told to leave by a judge, and they refused.

When Barbara Davidson takes these “striking” photos, she’s documenting people who chose to ignore federal law. The “trauma” being cited by Miguel Santana is the natural consequence of breaking the law. If you carry a passport around Los Angeles as a native citizen, as Santana claims he does, you aren’t a victim—you’re a performer in a political play.

The “What’s Next” Section: The Indefinite Siege

Santana says the project will run “indefinitely.” They are settling in for a long-term psychological war against federal enforcement. As more institutions in Long Beach, San Francisco, and New York join in, the divide in America is only going to grow.
