Portland is going to go crazy, if not tonight, by this weekend.

Portland may even burn, before minneapolis does...

More info, as I find it.

@MrAndyNgo
Open-borders activists and Antifa have organized events in Portland on Jan. 7 in response to the Minnesota shooting where an anti-ICE rioter was shot dead while accelerating into an ICE agent in a car. Far-left extremists have been agitating for George Floyd-style violent riots on social media.

The Left is rubbing their hands together thinking: “This will make Trump look bad.”

I bet the Trump Admin is rubbing their hands together: “Time to declare the Insurrection Act and to start arresting Democrat politicians and start military tribunals.”

Everyone KNOWS that the left is aching tor things like this to happen. Just like the Muslims, they will not hesitate to allow their own to be killed so as to exploit the situation. The left is our prime enemy and sooner or later, we have to come to the ONLY obvious solution.

Breaking: Two people have just been shot by Border Patrol during an immigration operation in Portland, Ore. Anti-ICE accounts have circulated screenshots alleging that a 911 dispatcher leaked to them information about a call for police assistance.

The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over. ABC News is reporting that the shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue. pic.twitter.com/IVukXHnGD7— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) January 8, 2026

Thanks for additional info...

This is so new, mainly social media has random post, much of which aren’t verifiable yet.

Local news is just starting to pick it up, shooting occurred at burnside.

That’s because the weather is better in Portland. But the politicians are just as stupid, so there’s that.

I don’t mind at all if it burns. The voters of Portland should get what they voted for, good and hard.

I sort of like the idea of liberals burning down their own home to spite ICE.

All that has to happen is killing someone in self defense?

FAFO...
You don’t want to get shot? Don’t try to run down ICE agents or other FED officers.

Pray for our heroic agents who afe increasingly under attack 🙏🏻

Those two individuals drove several blocks before stopping after being shot. Portland Police have cordoned off the scene.pic.twitter.com/teNUGkj6sY— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) January 9, 2026

Been stockpiling .22LR in the event of large rioting mobs in the city- plenty of snort to reach out from a safe distance and inflict pain. If they get closer, then there are other options available.
