Key Facts
Jayden Scott, among the leadership team of Harmony Investment Group, said in a Saturday post on LinkedIn he resigned from the Troy, Michigan, company because of recent developments in the United States and differing opinions between him and its Board of Directors.
Multiple local outlets referred to Scott as the company’s CEO, citing the group’s website, but he told Forbes there had been an error on the site incorrectly stating his position.
During an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement rally in Minneapolis after the killing of Renee Good, Scott was seen in a video repeatedly telling protesters through a megaphone, “We executed one of you yesterday,” urging them to keep their hands to themselves or “you’re going to get hurt today.”
Scott looked into a camera and shouted, “no one can stop what is coming,” calling for more “patriots” to come to Minnesota, which has become the epicenter of the anti-ICE movement.
Michigan news outlet MLive.com reported Scott, who founded Harmony Investment Group in 2022, previously appeared as a counterprotester during a “No Kings” protest in Bay City, Michigan.

“It was a great run,” Scott said in his LinkedIn post. “We built many great things. Mountains were moved. Fortunes were made. Until next time, so long my friends. Thank you for everything.”
Tangent
The Republicans of Bay County, Michigan, group on Facebook said in a post it had banned Scott from its group, saying he “chose to walk a path that is not a part of the American or Christian way.”
Key Background
Anti-ICE rallies broke out across the U.S. during the weekend, including in New York City, where clashes between protesters and counterprotesters led to at least one person detained by police, according to the New York Times. The protests have largely been peaceful, demanding accountability after Good was fatally shot by an ICE officer. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she would be sending “hundreds more” agents to Minneapolis to protect ICE agents in response to the rallies.
