On Friday, federal authorities evacuated all federal buildings in Portland after reports of a car bomb threat. The FBI is investigating the threat.
“The FBI is aware of recent reporting regarding threats made against federal buildings in Portland,” the FBI’s Portland field office said in a statement. “We are investigating to determine the credibility of the threat, and we remain in touch with our law enforcement partners to share information.”
The Bankruptcy Court cited a “threat of violence in the area” as the reason for its shutdown, The Oregonian reported. A source with knowledge of the situation told the paper that federal authorities received a threat that a vehicle filled with explosives would hit a federal building. It remains unclear if the threat involved a specific building.
The source also told The Oregonian that the Standard Insurance and Standard Plaza buildings had been evacuated on Friday morning.
The threat came after the 84th night of violent riots in Portland. In the name of pursuing justice for George Floyd, rioters have fired explosives at the federal courthouse, set fire to the police union, attempted to burn down a police precinct with officers inside, and turned the entrance of the ICE building into a war zone.
On Thursday night, rioters attempted to break into the ICE building. When federal officers came out, rioters threw rocks and bottles at them, shined lasers to blind them, and launched commercial-grade fireworks at them. They also set dumpsters on fire. The riot continued into the morning.

Yeah....pretty predictable. All that’s missing now is a few of them killed by one of their own bombs, and a few more killed with National Guard M-14s.
Yes. Let's take that up with the WOMEN VOTERS WHO THINK TRUMP'S TWEETS ARE HARSH AND HE'S A MEANIE.
If you can read this you are a FReeper here and not such a woman, so please don't be offended. Losing our country is more important than my refraining from being blunt with those women.
If you can’t Dodge it. Ram it

Another good reply to your fine post---Biden and the others say his wonderful and noble presidency will bring American together again and end the violence and chaos that Trump can't handle.
So they create riots and looting and they offer to have their guy win to end them.
Like a goon who pushes you into the pool and holds you down, then stops and allows you to gasp for air and then expects the life saving medal as a hero from the city. A lot of nerve.
Michelle Obama said it straight out in her speech. It was a direct threat.
So now can we tag them as terrorists and come down on them
Time to step in. Invited or not.

I live in northern California (Trinity county), the gate to my property is always closed, the signage is very clear about who may enter and under what circumstances.
I have a backhoe and lots of plowed property, there will be no evidence.
Backhoe-plow-repeat!
SHOOT the City Leaders, they are complicit in the anarchy!
Bang on. Pun intended !
I have not seen many ads lately.
This may indeed be the plan by some, but I doubt that it will swing many independent voters into voting Democrat.
I actually think that if this violence continues there will be a “law and order” vote and demand to throw criminals in jail and throw away the keys.
We have had a number of years of “justice reform” which includes the stop the “school to prison pipeline” movement, the release criminals without bail, send them home from prison early, and now we are seeing DA’s dropping charges against rioters and looters by calling it peaceful protest.
People will soon say enough is enough.
Just democRats celebrating Biden’s nomination.
Sure seems like antifa uses the same techniques as the taliban.

Well - it’s only words so it must be defined as “peaceful”....
The leftist media has forgotten the “Do you disavow” question that they ask every Republican after an awful act by anyone they can claim is connected to conservatives.
But...it’s peaceful demonstrators correct?
Yep. That’s the threat. Elect our leader or America will continue to suffer ever greater violence. They are already threatening to move to the suburbs. Clearly, this is the plan. And not one national Democrat has condemned any of this not one that I am aware of. The Democrats, and the MSM, are co-conspirators.
They won’t come out to most suburbs...suicide. Just on my block alone every other house flies an American flag...pride in country, pride in home and family, and don’t fricken try it here. I guess you could call it “virtue signaling”. (guns protect this street).
They surely don't see The Gay State (Massachusetts) as a battleground state!
