'Red flags' expose paid agitators in violent anti-ICE riots, CEO says

Crowds on Demand CEO points to tactical gear and rapid deployment as
telltale indicators of funded agitators

As tensions rise about who is behind the violent anti-ICE riots, a
California-based company that specializes in providing on-demand
crowds for protests says there are indicators to spot the difference
between hired demonstrators and normal crowds.

"We receive inquiries regarding practically every major social cause
imaginable, and the anti-ICE demonstrations are no exception," Adam
Swart, the CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand, told Fox News Digital.
"The fact that we receive requests does not mean we take them, in many
cases because the budget does not match the ambition."

Swart added that they have received "numerous high budget requests"
regarding the anti-ICE demonstrations, but declined those offers due
to the fact "that they do not want to get close to any form of illegal
activity, including violence, vandalism or blocking off roads without
a permit."
