With the Oregon National Guardâs deployment into Portland now expected to begin later in the week, protests outside the cityâs 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, itâs been federal law enforcementânot local officialsâwho have stepped in to push back against Antifa agitators wreaking havoc outside the ICE facility.
The most shocking case so far? A so-called âprotesterâ caught aiming lasers at Blackhawk helicopters flying overheadâan act that could have blinded pilots, brought down an aircraft, and killed people on the ground. Thatâs not protest, thatâs attempted mayhem.
When the feds tracked the suspect down, they found he wasnât just breaking the law that nightâhe 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 Portlandâs âpeaceful protestersâ 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 custodyâvisibly trembling and shaking, a stark contrast to his earlier bravado. It was a perfect reminder that these rioters arenât fearless revolutionaries; theyâre lawbreakers who fold the moment real accountability shows up:
Hereâs 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 âtough guyâ mode, swaggering around and even calling an officer a âb**châ:
Here are more âpeaceful protestersâ being dragged into custody by ICE (and honestly, you love to see this, donât you??):
