Antifa Responds to Trump Order on Portland Troop Deployment, and Things Could Get Really Ugly
Red State ^ | 09/27/2025 | Ward Clark

Following President Trump's announced intention to surge federal forces into Portland, Oregon, where riots are held daily outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, the useful idiots of Anti Profa are planning a "direct action" for Sunday, September 28th. 

This is a significant escalation. As is so often the case, the independent journalist and Antifa foe Andy Ngo broke the news.

A direct action has been planned for Sept. 28 at the Portland ICE facility after Trump issued a statement that he plans to send in troops to protect the federal property. Antifa and communists have said they refuse to back down and plan to escalate their rioting. They have called…

The post continues:

They have called for militant reinforcements in Seattle and Los Angeles.

It is belaboring the obvious to note that this could get really ugly, really fast. Since the president only announced the deployment on Saturday, it's unlikely any significant number of federal forces have yet to be deployed.

'Full Force': Trump Drops the Hammer on Portland Anti-ICE Radicals in Announcement on Troop Deployment


Antifa was recently designated as a domestic terrorist group by President Trump, and they richly deserve it. The question is this: How in the world do the actions Antifa claims to be planning not constitute an insurrection under the Insurrection Act of 1807? 10 U.S. Code § 252 - Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority, would seem to apply here. That section states:

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

That would appear to state that the President of the United States would, in the event Antifa does what they claim they want to do, have the legal recourse to unleash the full might of United States federal forces to restore order. To point out that this wouldn't end well for Antifa is the grossest of understatements. What's a trifle baffling is that this legal recourse hasn't been invoked before now.

Britannica defines an insurrection as:

...an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity by a group of its citizens or subjects; also, any act of engaging in such a revolt. 

That's precisely what Antifa is doing. It was even more egregious in the summer of 2020, when not only did rioting useful idiots cause several deaths and a billion or so dollars in property damage, but some actually seized a portion of the city of Seattle, installed an armed thug as the ruler of the area, and expelled civil authorities. Granted, they were so incompetent that they couldn't feed themselves, and their rebellion collapsed, but that doesn't make the crime any less.

Sunday will tell the tale. Will it be a violent conflict? Or a fizzle?

What if the good guys decided they’ve had enough and fight the leftists?

I would suggest deportation to Venezuela so they could live the Utopian Life of a Socialist Commune.

Wow, how does “an idea” respond to an announcement?

I heard for the first time yesterday from a former ICE director that the leftist rioters followed at least one agent home where his family was at home.

They use apps and facial recognition AI devices to match any agent’s faces without masks and track them online to find them.

And the rioters have been going to the private homes of the agents and families at night and banging metal and screeching and yelling and chanting so the families and agents can’t get any sleep and the children are afraid.

So gloves should be off soon.

We are asking far too much Gary Cooper Friendly Persuasion
type nonsense.

Of course, the real leaders will stay safely out of sight and off site - just like the real leaders of hamas.

Need special tactics for them.

Have you seen JD Pritzker, Joy Reid, Rep. Al Green and Maxine Waters?

Already happened.

We’ve tolerated the excesses of the left and their violent outbursts for decades.

I think that the assassination of Charlie Kirk has destroyed the tolerance. All of a sudden, we are serious about crushing the violent left.

I’m glad to see this threat taken seriously now.
