DAVID MARCUS: Trump repeats DC magic as Portland's Antifa thugs retreat
Fox News ^ | October 2, 2025 2:59pm EDT | David Marcus

Masked protesters abandon 100-day siege after increased federal presence and arrests

For the first time in months, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency building here was not besieged Wednesday night by Antifa creeps, who have clearly been scared off by the Trump administration’s increased presence on the ground.

It's a funny thing, just as in President Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., once there are consequences for breaking the law, things get awfully quiet.

It was obvious as I approached the facility just before nightfall that something had changed. Gone for the most part was the menacing gang of masked Antifa with their sticks and flagpoles that I had seen prowling the previous night.

In the place of the black-clad helmeted ne'er-do-wells were about six disabled protesters, some in wheelchairs, one a blind man, who were clearly put there to make Trump’s deployment of ICE officers and the National Guard seem ridiculous and unneeded.

Two or three Antifa thugs in their masks and helmets lingered, but on the periphery, no longer the hunters, they had become the hunted.

That wasn’t the only change from the night before. On the roof of the facility could be seen several armed ICE officers as well as an American flag that had not been there the night before. Some observers thought the flag flew at half staff for Charlie Kirk, but you can judge for yourself by the picture.

It didn’t take long. As Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported from inside the ICE facility, an Antifa member who had previously been identified committing criminal acts was recognized by agents, dragged in, and could be seen shaking in fear, under federal arrest.

The message was clear: There is a new sheriff in town, and Antifa's antics will be punished.

It would not surprise me if undercover Special Forces are involved.

Oh you bet they are. Their numbers and their masks make them feel strong but, as you can always see from the photo montages they put out, they’re just a bunch of lunatics, losers, and cowards

The Federal troopers should assist the ‘aunty fascists’ with changing their colours from ‘black’ to ‘black and blue and red’. Just a suggestion from a MAGA friend that I know.

The crackdown in Portland needs to include a deep dive up the backsides of all the relevant Portland and Oregon state authorities who have allowed (instigated) all of this year’s long chaos.

Hickory shampoos and sidewalk sandwiches would go a long way toward that transformation.

The thugs in Memphis are the bureaucrats and politicians thru all their non profits and NGO's. Their hustle is crime and chaos. That city is going to need to have bureaucratic arrests and prosecutions, then working their way down the chains of command.

A very tough nut to crack, starting off with the DA Mulroy, Mayor Young, Police Chief Davis, the city council members not already indicted, (yes they still hold office after being indicted), the county clerks, Tammy Sawyer and Wanda Halbert.

Round them up, put them in FBI trucks and drive them to the coast (close in Portland), place them in boats with fentenyl and blow the boat up about 90 miles off shore!

Perhaps some of the ‘aunty fascists’ could earn the nickname, “ol’ blood n’ guts”.

It’s Portland. Half the police are probably antifa themselves.

What happens when they leave though? Is there any plan for that or will the arrests disturb the antifa control to the point it is over?
