Latest Portland anti-ICE protest prompts federal law enforcement response
Fox News ^ | 1/24/20 | Dom Calicchio

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Ore., was once again the target of protesters on Saturday night, according to news reports and posts on social media.

"No borders! No nations! Abolish deportations!" the crowd chanted at one point, according to video footage from the scene that was shared online.

Law enforcement officers from the Federal Protective Service were heard declaring an "unlawful assembly" around 10 p.m. local time and ordering the crowd to leave the area. The FPS is a unit of the Department of Homeland Security.

"If you trespass on federal property with a weapon … you will be arrested," a recording played to the crowd said.

The federal agents were seen responding to the crowd with tear gas and other crowd-control tools.

**SNIP**

One Portland business owner appeared on "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning, saying the nearly nightly protests in Oregon’s largest city over the past year have been "devastating" for businesses and residents.

"They come out here and they just literally destroy whatever they can, throwing things around," Gibson said. "They’re just going to pick it up and throw it wherever they can. The damage that happens to the businesses down there is just devastating."

On Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki couldn’t offer a response to reporters who asked whether President Biden planned to address the chronic unrest in the Portland and Seattle areas.

To the north in Washington state the chaos expands:
Seattle AntiFa and “protest” moves into homeless community in front of Bellingham City Hall. On Friday Jan 22nd the Homeless Camps were to be moved at least 25 feet from the City Hall. They refused and a form of Bellingham “Protest” occurred. Reports from the scene: “BLM/Antifa broke into a locked city hall in Bellingham today. Mayor had to be escorted out for safety. They also tore down the American flag outside. Stole a KGMI journalist’s mic and threw a hot drink on him. They’re supposed to be here advocating for the homeless.”

Why is Joe Biden attacking citizens of the United States with chemical weapons?

Why are these attacks of insurrection and sedition (and that’s what they legitimately are) not called out by Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats?

What are they going to do? Let more invaders free? Give them free airfare and bus tickets? Give them money?

“Water cannons. Lots and lots of water cannons.”

Loaded to the top with that earthy smelling Israeli Skunk Juice* the Palis love so much.

*lasts up to 5 days on the body and up to 5 years in clothing. Smells like “dead dogs in a dumpster.”

They’re not revolutionaries if they’ve had the path of least resistance cleared for them and allowed to set up shop where they have. They were “cleared in hot” and it’s been burning ever since. They are always going to have their patented delusions of grandeur that they’re something really special. They think way too much of themselves and they need to come to that realization. These are still “the children”, who’ve been under the impression since they could walk, that they are the world and future, god’s gift to man and the genius offspring of the least appreciative generation of Americans ever (but don’t tell them that). However, they are absolutely oblivious to the fact that almost everything they’ve ever thought they did on their own is an illusion and perhaps a cruel joke (rhymes with ‘woke’) as well. This is the result of too much importance being placed on mere appearances and not enough on substance. The content of their character(s) has been literally adulterated by liberalism, political correctness, groupthink and self-empathy, which gives them the idea that even their most unrealistic expectations are now within reason just because it is their expectation to have an inalienable right to enjoy the double standards that they are incapable of recognizing in their own reflection(s). Unfortunately, those of us who have been paying close enough attention can only hope to have this band of treacherous miscreants and their leaders corrected before our time is up.

That’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning. Sweep them
off their feet & hose them down.

I am beginning to lose all faith and trust in law enforcement, including the military itself.

Look at how fast police show up when there's an incident involving conservatives or Trump supporters.

Stop supporting the police people. THEY ARE NOT ON OUR SIDE.

Every time you have an encounter with a LEO ask them when the was last time they turned over an illegal alien to ICE or cooperated with them in any way?

Okay so here's my idea ...

Go to one of these riots, mostly peaceful protests, and take note of one of the more vociferous rioters errr protesters. Take no action. Simply observe and just pick one. Then follow them home. No aggressive action. No violence. No threats. Simply follow them home and then follow them into their house. If they close the door simply knock quietly and chant "No borders! No nations! Abolish deportations!" If they complain simply say "How Dare YOU!"
