Federal agents began arriving in “war ravaged” Portland, Ore., over the weekend after President Donald Trump ordered military deployment to the city, with at least one clash already erupting outside an ICE facility.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was seen Friday shoving a protester to the ground, according to video footage captured by KATU-TV.
Another demonstrator was detained as agents confronted crowds outside the South Portland site.
In an early-morning Truth Social post Saturday, Trump said he authorized “full force” to protect what he called “War ravaged Portland” and federal buildings “under siege by ANTIFA, and other domestic terrorists.”
Mayor Keith Wilson, speaking at a late-night press conference Friday, said, “We now have a sudden influx of federal agents in our city.
“We did not ask for them to come. They are here without precedent or purpose,” Wilson said.
Residents reacted sharply to the deployment.
David Schmidt, who lives near the ICE building, told KATU, “Every night, there’s tons of protesters basically being vagrants on the street. … They are making noise constantly, even when nobody from ICE is outside.”
Other locals warned that the federal presence could escalate unrest.
“I just remember watching night after night … in 2020, and I’m just worried that we’re going to see things blow up like they did in 2020,” said Ocean Hosojasso of Portland.
The White House did not provide details on the number of troops or their assignments.
Pentagon officials did not immediately respond to requests for information, according to the AP. A Politico report said the order came as a surprise to many inside the Pentagon.

I always wanted to see that movie as I read the book but I heard the movie is completely different. The book was unreal, it was more of a book on history.
It talked about the New York city draft riots in which they actually lynched cops, lynched blacks, stabbed the police superintendant 70 times - and he lived - killed horses and burned down an orphanage for black kids which is where the NY Public library now stands.
Use batons and crack their heads open.
I cannot post my Israeli flag with my American flag on my house about 5 miles South of Portland because ANTIFA is so well networked they would firebomb my house within days.
ANTIFA owns the streets.

Pronto.
Federal officers arrested Chandler Patey outside the Portland ICE facility on September 18, 2025, for allegedly operating an Antifa safe house in his apartment unit near the facility.
The apartment, used since at least July 2025, reportedly served as a restroom, refreshment stand, and dressing room for Antifa activists before protests against the ICE headquarters.
Patey provided agitators with amenities to sustain their occupation and protests, though the specific charges against him remain unclear.
Rioters have targeted the ICE facility nightly for months, resulting in over 27 federal charges under the Trump administration for crimes including assault on federal officers and arson.
Also look into their bank accounts to see who’s paying them.
The Posse Comitatus Act has exceptions.
All President Trump needs to do is declare an emergency around the terrorist organization ANTIFA staging an insurrection and send in the Marines, locked and loaded, ready to GET SOME!
Just do one city, they’ll all go home.
“Firsts” are SO important. We should all respect and honor “firsts.”
Back in the bad old days, I understand grape shot was very effective.

Ditto.
I live far away from there, but Portland is a cesspool of leftists, cartels and crazies.
Murders all the time, rioting and political crime.
Antifa and CCP are embedded.
It’s widespread.
There has been an exodus of restaurants, department stores, grocery stores and long time residents.
It was a nice clean city before the democrats took over and now it’s held hostage by the left!
I agree, this is a deadly threat to the US, treat them like foreign combatants.
Oh yeah..
It should have happened in Seattle, in Portland, Minneapolis and every time these people pop their heads up.
The Movie stands on its own, it is a classic.
I’ll bet Schwartz Gyorgy is paying as usual.
“She thinks she is the country’s first openly bisexual statewide office holder...”
(I think my version is closer to the truth)
I wore my IDF T-Shirt in the small Eastern Oregon town of Maupin, rolling into town after a day of fly fishing for steelhead on the Deschutes.
I was greeted at The Oasis bar and grill by some like minded conservatives who were shocked at my brazenness and literally were looking around to see if I was likely to be attacked by leftists. In the middle of nowhere conservative-ville Oregon.
ANTIFA will beat you to death for political disagreements.
Time to start handing out blankets infected with disease.
