The City of Portland assisted a controversial anti-ICE organization in securing a vacant office space on the ground floor of an apartment building directly across the street from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, which has been under siege by demonstrators, many of whom are involved with Antifa networks, since early June. The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC), a taxpayer-funded non-governmental organization (NGO), is known for conducting trainings on how to disrupt ICE operations, as well as providing guidance to illegal immigrants on the best practices to evade apprehension by federal authorities.

SNIP SOURCE A three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to stay a district court order that had prevented the deployment of National Guard troops to the city. The majority opinion found it was likely that the president had lawfully exercised his statutory authority.(Via Politico) – A federal appeals court panel has backed President Donald Trump’s authority to send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon, concluding that though the president’s claims on social media “may exaggerate” the violence in the city, he may still have had a valid basis for the deployment.The 2-1 ruling, endorsed...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Monday that President Donald Trump has the authority to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, reversing a decision by a district judge earlier this month. It was the second time the Ninth Circuit — despite its reputation as a liberal bastion — overruled lower courts and allowed Trump to exercise his constitutional powers as commander-in-chief; the first case was California. National Public Radio reported: A divided federal appeals court for the 9th Circuit today overturned a temporary restraining order put in place by a federal judge in Portland –...

A federal appeals court ruled on Oct. 20 that President Donald Trump may deploy National Guard troops to deal with violence directed against federal immigration facilities in Portland while the case works its way through the lower courts.

It takes a considerable amount of hubris to smugly confess multiple felonies to your adoring online fans—and everyone else, but it's Oregon, where people so certain of their righteous beliefs believe there will be no repercussions for their lawbreaking. Such is the case with this Hillsboro couple, Kiley and Karim Delgado, who own The 649, a tap house and restaurant. The 649 name is a slang term that means everything from taking shots of booze to taking a chance on the lottery. The couple identifies multiple times as "Antifa" on their Facebook page and not in the humorous way the...

Thanks to allegedly nonexistent Antifa, every day is No Kings Day at the ICE facility in moonbat-infested Portland. Here’s what it looked like yesterday: video on link Someone has to pay all these guys to stand around defending ICE facilities from treasonous vermin who want to prevent the enforcement of immigration law. If you pay taxes in the USA, that would be you.

ICE all over the non-Portland areas in Oregon. Many helicopters flying over most of the day. ICE finally came in to the illegal alien criminal GUTS of Oregon. They picked up numerous cartel members, dealers, pedophiles and child traffickers while raiding apartments, etc. Demonrats are wetting their pants over it and soiling their briefs and filing lawsuits according to news sources. So much for “all king’s day.” LOLOLOLOL! Thank you ICE!! Thank you Trump and administration!!

The first nine months of the second Trump administration have seen extraordinary litigation efforts by opponents of the government seeking to block its initiatives of every sort. This page at Lawfare Media tracks some 190 active cases challenging Trump administration actions; and I don’t think that that list of 190 is comprehensive. The cases cover subject matter areas ranging from spending reductions to employee terminations to migrant deportations to regulatory actions, among many others. Those following these litigations, or some of them, have undoubtedly noticed a pattern whereby a District Court judge, usually in a blue state, enjoins the administration’s...

On the two year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack in Israel, a protest calling for freedom for Palestine marched throughout Eugene, Ore. The march started at 6 p.m. in the Park Blocks of Eugene and ended at 7:40 p.m., dispersing at 18th Street.

The radical Antifa militants infesting Portland have issued a brazen call to arms: a coordinated “laser party” aimed at blinding and potentially crashing U.S. military helicopters patrolling the skies over the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Independent journalist Andy Ngo reported the blog’s announcement and said organizers urged participants to converge at different vantage points across the city and “unleash your beam at the cop copter.” According to the announcement: YOU’RE INVITED: LASER TAG! Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The...

A reporter who was allegedly attacked by a savage protester outside a Portland ICE facility recounted her harrowing experience to Donald Trump. Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt shared her testimony at Trump's roundtable focused on Antifa violence on Wednesday. 'Today, I am sitting here with a black eye and a concussion after being violently hit in the face with a metal pole while reporting outside the ICE facility just this past week,' Daviscourt said. The bruised journalist claimed that after the vicious confrontation, she went to three different city police officers for help - but they 'refused to detain the...

An online anarchist platform encouraged people on Wednesday to shine lasers at federal helicopters in Portland, Oregon, a crime that law enforcement officials say can create extreme danger for pilots. A post on the leftist, Portland-focused website “Rose City Counter-Info” tells viewers to scatter throughout the city’s streets on Saturday for the attack — nicknamed “Laser Tag” — as federal agents respond to demonstrations near the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The goal is to “ground” the helicopters by making it difficult to safely fly them and flash too many lasers for law enforcement to hunt down those...

federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops. On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland. Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops. The TRO will expire on October 18. The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis. On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop...

In 2020, California imported about 25% of its demand for electricity from Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona due to the capacity limitations of the three utilities that serve the State (Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas and Electric). These capacity limitations resulted from the closure of fossil fuel plants and environmental restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities in California to meet climate change standards. New England, New Jersey, and New York combined imported about 30% of their demand from either neighboring states or Canada. Many utilities in PJM and MISO import electricity from TVA and the...

I just witnessed the most remarkable thing… DHS Secretary Kristi Noem arrived at the ICE detention facility in Portland and the FIRST thing she did was PRAY for the safety of the officers there and thank Jesus Christ for their bravery. We are witnessing incredible things. "...time together, that you give us this fellowship, Lord, but that you also give us wisdom and discernment to make the best decisions, not just for the people that are here enforcing the law, but also for the citizens of this country. Then, Lord, I just ask that you continue to put a hedge...

PORTLAND, Ore. — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem landed in Portland on Tuesday for a visit to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the South Waterfront, which has been the site of ongoing protests in recent months and a focal point in the Trump administration's push to send National Guard troops to Portland.

Immergut, appointed to the federal bench by Trump during his first term, has issued two rulings blocking the deployment of National Guard troops, drawing the president’s ire. Late Sunday, federal judge Karin J. Immergut issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s plan to send California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. It was her second ruling against Trump in two days that triggered his ire: On Saturday, Immergut also blocked Trump from federalizing the Oregon National Guard, writing that his administration’s arguments for doing so “risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power — to the...

Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested after a brush with Antifa in Portland on Thursday, but the charge was dropped by the district attorney on Monday. Sortor was documenting the rioting against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility by apparent left-wing agitators when police arrested him. He says some leftist protesters attacked him and that he swung back in defense before police intervened. The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said that police had probable cause to arrest Sortor, but "after a careful review of the investigation, including reports and video, we do not believe the crime of disorderly conduct can...
