The president can send the National Guard into downtown Portland, Oregon, because the city police have protected Antifa attacks on a federal facility, says Harmeet Dhillon, the top civil rights chief in the Department of Justice.
Dhillon made her comment in response to a video showing Antifa rioters hiding behind city police as the rioters aimed strong flashlights at the federal officers guarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. The police cover protected the Antifa members from the pepper balls normally fired by security officers at the federal building.

This kind of nonsense needs to be responded to in an extremely harsh manner as in Apache gunships up in the air to nape every neighborhood where there are riots.
Burn one neighborhood to show that we mean business and tell them thusly: you have two choices: call off your dogs or we will burn the whole city.
(Just for fun the antifa-loving mayor should be dragged in the command center set up in ICE headquarters with live feeds from the gunships to watch; let him know in no uncertain terms that whatever happens is on him/them.)
Arrest the spotlighters. It’s not fecking rocket science.
A number of years ago Portland began lowering hiring standards for police officers. This is the outcome. You must hire a police force that understands law and order.
No one gets in power in POrtland unless antifa approves. The little thugs on the streets are just mindless foot soldiers. The real antifa leaders are in city hall and the PPB.
The last time I went to POrtland was about 2018 or so for a sales convention. The cops were worthless and ignored junkies shooting up and smoking meth on the waterfront park. The allies were covered with human feces. And this was BEFORE the constant riots.
Waste of time and money. Simply close every Federal office and military base in or near Portland, and halt all Federal money. And put out a nationwide ad that says ICE will not enforce immigration law in Portland and will not arrest any illegals in transit to Oregon.
Place Portland under military occupation, 1865 style.
Then when questioned, the portland pd basically claimed they didn’t know what was going on and that anything was wrong....

What you expect them to arrest their neighbors, friends and children? Its a culture.
They can and could.
