Protests and riots against immigration enforcement have been taking over Phoenix streets these recent weeks, similar in their disruptive scope to those across the nation.
One young couple are leading the charge on these protests: Alexia Isais and Jordan Napier. The pair are organizers with the Phoenix chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), an entity responsible for many of recent weeks’ anti-immigration enforcement riots.
Viral videos show both Isais and Napier leading crowds in chants as they march along Phoenix streets and gather outside the state capitol.
PSL has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The national organization harbors connections with Neville Roy Singham and the various initiatives he funds. Singham is a CCP-affiliated major financier and tech entrepreneur — connections explored at length by a number of investigative outlets.
Both Isais and Napier are self-described communists, as reflected by their social media handles: “Comrade Alexia” and “Marxist Jordan.” The two refer to one another — and their peers — as “comrade.”

Isais teaches seventh graders at Vista Verde Middle School within the Paradise Valley Unified School District. Before she was a rabble-rousing teacher, Isais was a rabble-rousing Arizona State University (ASU) student.
(Editor’s Note: Isais taught at Vista Verde Middle School before it was closed down by the Paradise Valley Unified School District last year, according to Mat Droge, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Paradise Valley Unified School District.)
Isais honed her activist skills while at ASU.
In early 2019, her first year at university, Isais was front and center in protests against Phoenix police following the shooting of a 14-year-old burglar carrying a fake gun.
Later that year in a different group — the ASU chapter of the anti-immigration enforcement group No Mas Muertes — Isais was again featured protesting against the imprisonment of ASU faculty associate Scott Warren, charged with aiding illegal aliens.
In the days leading up to and on Independence Day in 2020, Isais was an ASU student senator when she earned more media attention for wishing “Death to America” and praising the Chinese Communist Party. At the time, Isais was also the president of Students for Socialism ASU.

Several months later, ASU’s student-run paper, The State Press, fired Isais from her columnist role for different tweets — ones expressing glee at the prospect of murdered police officers.
“Did anyone else get a blue alert??? Apparently thts [sic] when law enforcement is in danger … the serotinin [sic] is kicking in,” said Isais. “Sorry but police aren’t actually human … they can all go fall into the abyss and society would be better without them.”
The “blue alert” in reference was a mass text alerting to danger for police officers.
Napier has a more subtle online presence and less of a storied media footprint than his beau. He keeps his personal Instagram private and his X account hasn’t seen action since last fall, but he does appear frequently in PSL content.
In a recent Instagram reel for PSL, Napier led the anti-immigration enforcement crowds as they marched through the streets.
“We will not stop until Donald Trump and his billionaire agenda stops separating our families and stops separating and tearing apart our communities,” said Napier.
In a protest last week in front of the Arizona state capitol, Napier amped up hundreds in a crowd with chants to protest immigration enforcement.
“No one is illegal! Viva Mexico!” shouted Napier.
The more time I spend with my comrades, struggling against the same enemy and fighting for the same cause, the more I realize that our enemies don't stand a chance. My comrades work their asses off and that is why I KNOW that the people will see revolution in our lifetime.

Protests against immigration enforcement is just the latest in the resistance efforts arranged by Isais and Napier. The two have also led protests against U.S. siding with Israel while praising Hamas in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In these times, comradery & revolutionary optimism should be stronger than ever to fight for a better world than the one we've got. pic.twitter.com/IZFkMaC12x

PSL Phoenix organized protests for Sunday, Jan. 26 at West Indian School Road; Friday, Jan. 31 at the Arizona State Capitol; Saturday, Feb. 1 at South Avenida del Yaqui; Sunday, Feb. 2 at South Avenida del Yaqui; and Wednesday, Feb. 5 at South Avenida del Yaqui. PSL Phoenix also disclosed it would post about “immediate public mobilizations” to its Telegram channel “We Fight Back Network.”
These spontaneous demonstrations have presented trouble for public safety, since law enforcement can’t prepare for them in advance.
Late last week and over the weekend, protestors obstructed traffic as they took over roadways.
Obstructing traffic is against the law, though it currently carries only misdemeanor charges. Republicans attempted to make the crime a felony in 2023 with SB 1073, but Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed the legislation.
During the protests on Sunday and Monday, the protesting began to devolve into rioting: obstructing traffic, setting off fireworks, speeding and doing doughnuts in cars, climbing traffic signals, breaching the state capitol, setting fires, and damaging police property.
One woman, Shayla Fermic, was arrested for breaking a police drone used to give orders to rioters as they set off fireworks and entered the state capitol. One still-unidentified suspect stole a police cruiser and abandoned it. Another still-unidentified suspect kicked in the windshield of a different police cruiser.
Glendale police reported damages to five patrol cars: broken and shattered windows, slashed tires, and damaged body panels.
PSL also planned protests for Friday, Feb. 7 starting at Valley Coffee Company on West Portland Street; both Saturday, Feb. 8 and Sunday, Feb. 9 starting at El Cafezito on West Indian School Road; Saturday, Feb. 8 starting at Marivue Park on West Osborn Road.
Before their planned protest on Friday, PSL Phoenix is hosting a recruitment effort at Eastlake Park. On Feb. 12 at that same location, PSL Phoenix will feature its national presidential candidate Claudia de la Cruz.

Excellent Article ADI! ASU has several flaming Marxist in the faculty and its own chapter of Young Democratic Socialists (AKA Young Marxists), not to mention its underground branch of ANTIFA. Go Devils!
Stay safe Roger! You never know when you just might need a Police Officer.
Ok folks now you know who to sue if you are physically harmed or your car or home are damaged by these communists.
The fact that these youngster’s “education” was paid for by the taxpayer, and now, at least one of them is an actual public school 7th grade teacher – just about the most vulnerable age to the Marxist madness – is all I need to know. Public schools have been taken over by people who hate the government and people they supposedly work for.
Public schools must be defunded and eliminated. If someone wants a marxist education, they should pay for it themselves. Ditto if someone wants a real education. The second can be had for much less money than the first.
A lot of strong feelings in these comments. You might not agree with their political views but it’s not like they’re doing anything illegal. I mean, if they did something completely crazy, (like, hypothetically, if they stormed the capital as part of an uncontrolled mob, murdering a police officer in the process) then yeah I can see the how people would be upset about it. If this offends you more than (again, hypothetically) nazi salutes being thrown around by individuals in our highest levels of government, then maybe it’s time to take a hard look in the mirror. Also that dude Jordan is a handsome young man.
“(like, hypothetically, if they stormed the capital as part of an uncontrolled mob, murdering a police officer in the process)” last I heard the Police Officer that died was a result of some kind of personal heart issue. Nobody ‘murdered’ anyone! So, what are you really saying; you’re infatuated with Jordan?
BTW, no Nazi salutes were “thrown” anywhere! That’s just your ignorant opinion!!
I’ve always wanted my son to be taught by a communist (not.) They aren’t keeping their political views to themselves but instead push that commie (same as Nazi) crap into young minds. So by Nazi salutes, I guess you mean everytime some democrap throws up an arm for any reason, right…. Karen? And the police officer at the capitol wasn’t killed in the line of duty. How about the scum that shot a veteran and got a medal, even though he had a history of malfeasance and shouldn’t even had a badge. Read some news instead of propaganda. Go salute a statue of Lenin. Karen.
Get out of the classrooms, out of our towns, out of our state, out of our country.
These POS people are breaking the law and it’s about time to arrest them and convict them of felonies perpetrated against our Police and their equipment.
“SpaceKaren” says it all…..Time to beam up to the mother ship, snowflake!
“Sorry but police aren’t actually human … they can all go fall into the abyss and society would be better without them”
Imagine what she and her cohorts would get up to if there were no police to keep order. Anybody disagreeing with them would be the target of mob action, pelted with verbal and physical abuse. Sort of like the brownshirt goons of the SA in pre-WW II Germany. Or the Bolsheviks in revolutionary Russia who organized Soviets to enforce the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ against all who disagreed.
Typical communist tactic. Destroy the current system. Create complete anarchy and remove any structures that can keep order so the strong arm of the party can control all the action. After all, the needs of the state come first. Come to think of it, if you substitute gang for party, that just might be the mobster’s tactic too.
Do you want these people deciding who is human and who isn’t?
This Anti-American couple is the success of ASU’s Anti-American Philosophy.
Good job ASU
Doing what they do best, promoting Marxism.
and folks thought asu was an institution of higher learning! It never was or will be, why do you think its nickname was JOCK U? now it appears to be nothing but an INDOCTRINATION center abd needs to be restructured by the state but the dems think it adds to their standing as an institution. The school district needs to closely monitor what this ‘person’ is putting out by having a parent rotate in and out daily so that they report on indoctrination classes vs education. If they cant/wont do that then TERMINATION needs to be conducted.
You type how Donald Trump tweets lmao
Anyone, outside the Amish, who can use the terms Socialism and Liberation in the same sentence intends to use violence to rule over others. That said, in the Land of the Free they are free to spout all sorts of idiocies (the best part of Freedom of Speech is not having to wonder who the idiots are, they’ll be glad to fess up to it). Now, when they break the law themselves or incite others to violence there should be cell ready and waiting for them.
Hmm, so, they are not for the “rule of law” top prevail? And not for nobody is above the law? Hypocrites.
Best bet that dude Jordan is packing a third leg, I heard that they call him “Comrade Tripod”. Could be just a rumor, but that’s what people are saying.
looks like ASU is a hive of communistic political training and activism
“No one is illegal! Viva Mexico!” shouted Napier.
Send him back to Mexico? Its so good – why the exodus?
Are these not threats to American citizens? Would this be in the classification of terrorism agenda? If you don’t like the USA, then go somewhere else. But don’t stay here and complain.
As much as I don’t like it, they have the constitutional right to protest. But, they have no right to break the law and they are walking that thin line, maybe crossing it. Before January 20th they had expectation that nobody would investigate them, not the AZ attorney general nor the US DOJ. Guess what? There’s a new DOJ and border czar. Their actions will be scrutinized and dealt with in a whole new manner. I can’t wait for the show.
Gee, what a tribute to our educational system and just think, one of the two idiots is teaching your kids in school. That should scare you to death if you are a parent in that school district.
F__k these two PsOS! The school district probably is under some kind of liberal authoritarian that says they don’t have to divulge that info to the parents…idiocy
Follow the money
Useful idiots, deport them too.
Bad parenting skills (rather lack of) and public education = future Katie Hobbs want to bes
Sorry. Don’t humanize these animals. They are pure Evil. Evil as in child molesters. Evil as in fentanyl dealers. Where are the fire-hoses when these diseased creatures block the streets? Fire every creature who teaches Marxism at ASU. It is teaching murder plain and simple. That is not “free speech” any more than teaching we should return to slavery. Because that is what Marxism is.
Yeah, they look like a “power couple”….what they tell the gullible. Here’s the thing: all this Marxist bull-roar worked when there was no Internet to validate things. It’s the same story with Karl Marx himself; what destroyed that A-hole’s grandest creation (Soviet Russia) was “information theory”. Read Wm.Poundstone’s books on Claude Shannon.
100% correct
Send them to Venezuela.
Cane them first..
In another time, I’d call these fools ‘young dupes’.
Today I just call them ultra-deceived useful idiots.
They have zero idea of what marxism is like. Like many who haven’t studied history, they’ve drunk the communist Kool-Aid (much of it from asu) and are doomed to repeat it.
