With the Oregon National Guard’s deployment into Portland now expected to begin later in the week, protests outside the city’s ICE facility have continued. The demonstrations, which officials say have frequently included noise disturbances and projectiles, have drawn frustration from nearby residents as well as DHS and ICE personnel.
This is what happens when Democrats run a city into the ground and then shrug at the chaos. Despite the feckless leadership in Portland and Salem, it’s been federal law enforcement—not local officials—who have stepped in to push back against Antifa agitators wreaking havoc outside the ICE facility.
The most shocking case so far? A so-called “protester” caught aiming lasers at Blackhawk helicopters flying overhead—an act that could have blinded pilots, brought down an aircraft, and killed people on the ground. That’s not protest, that’s attempted mayhem.
When the feds tracked the suspect down, they found he wasn’t just breaking the law that night—he was in the country illegally. In fact, three others in the same residence were also illegal immigrants. All four are now being processed for deportation.
Another satisfying moment came Wednesday night when one of Portland’s “peaceful protesters” learned the hard way that actions have consequences. The agitator, who allegedly hurled red paint onto the ICE building, was quickly taken into custody by federal agents.
Video shows him being arrested on the street and hauled away, but what stood out most was his demeanor once in custody—visibly trembling and shaking, a stark contrast to his earlier bravado. It was a perfect reminder that these rioters aren’t fearless revolutionaries; they’re lawbreakers who fold the moment real accountability shows up:
Here’s a better look at the detainment video:
TPUSA contributor Savannah Hernandez posted video from the night before the arrest showing the same suspect in full “tough guy” mode, swaggering around and even calling an officer a “b**ch”:
Here are more ‘peaceful protesters’ being dragged into custody by ICE (and honestly, you love to see this, don’t you??):
