Investigative journalist Katie Daviscourt was violently mobbed and had a rock thrown at her face by masked Antifa militants while attempting to report on their May Day riot outside the federal ICE facility on Friday night. Despite having security present, Daviscourt, a reporter for The Post Millennial and Human Events, was forced to abandon her work as black-bloc extremists swarmed her in what she described as a coordinated “direct action” organized by the domestic terrorist group Antifa.
Daviscourt livestreamed the attack and posted a clip to X shortly after it happened.
In the post with the video, Daviscourt wrote, “It’s impossible for me to do my job down at the Portland ICE facility, even with security. I was violently mobbed out by Antifa, and a suspect in black bloc threw a rock at my face.”
“I have zero desire to discuss this further, but everyone is tired of it and wondering why a crackdown on Antifa — a terrorist organization— has not yet occurred.”

In the video, a frenzied mob in black bloc surrounds her, shouting threats as she tries to document the ongoing illegal occupation at the facility.
The masked militants scream at her to “RUN” after pelting her with a rock and chasing her down a dark road.
The Portland ICE facility has been under a near-constant illegal 24-hour anti-ICE encampment and protest for more than 75 days.
Daviscourt has identified her attackers as longtime “security” operatives for Rose City Antifa, whose explicit role is to intimidate and remove perceived opposition journalists and activists. She says the pair has targeted her since at least 2020 in Seattle.
Last year, the same couple told her on camera, “People like you shouldn’t ever feel safe.”

Daviscourt has been sounding the alarm on the Portland ICE occupation for months.
In an August 2025 post Daviscourt re-posted today, she warned that Antifa had grown “emboldened” after a judge ruled Portland Police did not have to enforce laws at the site. She called for the Trump administration to immediately deploy the National Guard, establish a secure perimeter with checkpoints and curfews, and protect federal property and journalists.
No arrests have been reported for the assault.

They’re demonic. This is not “peaceful assembly”, it’s criminal and allowed to happen by the authorities, which means they’re part of the crime.
Find out the attackers identities, publish their names and addresses. Let others intimidate them. People like them should not feel safe, until the day they die.
All they want is love and peace!😂
She needs a couple of Proud Boys bodyguards.
ANTIFA are the Democrats’ Sturmabteilung / Brownshirts.
When out of power, ANTIFA will run rampant. When Democrats are in power, you will hardly see or hear from them.
“When Democrats are in power, you will hardly see or hear from them.”
Unless they are used to defeat a candidate or policy initiative or a grass roots petition............
So is law enforcement protecting the Antifa and other violent ones for their right to assemble peacefully and petition the government for redress? Under freedom of speech?
But WE don’t have such rights. Holder with Obama and Garland and Comey later never honored our rights. While conservatives had their social media enterprises demonetized, people in congregations that wanted a Latin Mass were investigated and Trump wasn’t allowed one day of peace as vicious legal system demons persecuted him.
Courageous people in the press-—I would call them the modern day “underground press” in the new 60s we’re living through.
The old time establishment media, print and TV are too shy to get the real stories on the Learing Centers and the attempt at violent Communist takeover of the US.
Portland is a shi* city, always has been.
True. A Vietnam combat vet friend with three sons still in the Navy in the 2010s said I should join one of the militias.
I said: “With my bad luck the instant I did the guy next to me would say ‘I’m an FBI undercover agent. You’re under arrest.” My friend laughed. But it’s likely.
It is WAY past time for machine gun emplacements around ICE facilities; when these idiots start attacking, start shooting; do this consistently and they might get the message that ICE is not playing around — and neither is President Trump.
Yes. Needs to be flushed.

There will be no action taken.
What is wrong with such “journalists”? They know that Antifa thugs will attack. They need to show up in a circle of armed guards. Mebbe not guns, how about staffs? Catch one of those in the teeth and you won’t be yelling at someone else.
Blue city coppers are as corrupt as those ruling London, for the same reason. Quit staking yourself out like lambs for the slaughter. Sooner or later you will be killed like the NWales coppers let the Jews be murdered in the Bondi incident.
Why aren’t the reporters using drones with hi-res cameras to cover ANTIFA riots?
Portland juries would not convict Antifa rioters for assault or probably murder if the victim was not a radical leftist. So you can’t get them that way.
So exposing yourself to their violence doesn’t have any plus. Filming their violence safely does.
It’s Portland, do you expect anything different?
I thought antifa was “just an idea”
How’s it feel to be attacked by an idea?
Why aren’t the reporters using drones with hi-res cameras ordinance to cover ANTIFA riots?
combined Nazis, Bolsheviks, and Red Guard.
