PORTLAND, Ore. — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem landed in Portland on Tuesday for a visit to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the South Waterfront, which has been the site of ongoing protests in recent months and a focal point in the Trump administration's push to send National Guard troops to Portland.

KGW has a crew at the scene and will keep this story updated; check back for new developments.

Portland pd cleared about a 1 block radius of protesters and blocked off the area.

KGW and several other news stations had cameras set up to video Noem's arrival, but all the motorcade did so far was drive into the facility.

The protesters didn't cause any problems when portland pd asked them to leave the area, likely because they will be back out in force tonight, after Noem leaves.

KGW got tipped that Noem was coming in, and had a reporter out at the airport waiting for her.. They didn't get a chance to talk to her, but said there were several conservative commentators that were there to meet her and go to the facility..

Likely more after she finished talking with officials at the portland ICE facility

That's the equivalent of Zelensky visiting Moscow. Enemy territory.

It is good of her to visit and listen to what her people are dealing with.

The idiot governor was concerned about tear gas affecting the neighborhood. Apparently no concern for ICE personnel.

Did she have to ride there in the SWAT customized Terradyne Armored Gurkha or a Lenco Bearcat?

Not too easy on the gas mileage but gets you in and out of woke mob areas. ⛽

Raw Streams from the networks - a lot of waiting around for the motorcade to show up. There is some coverage of how cleaned up the area is, but the coverage was slanted to downplay anything the protesters have been doing.

You can skip around in the streams

If Noem were in an Abrams tank, she wouldn’t have to worry about leftist terrorists blocking the road.

Ha.

Also no mention about how the protesters constantly make noise with megaphones, and boom boxes, or chant profanities all night

Pretty much all the officials and media in portland are protecting the protestors

UNBELIEVABLE FOOTAGE! I witnessed Portland PD giving advice to ANTIFA terrorists on how to avoid federal troops being allowed into the city after the temporary restraining order (TRO) against President @realDonaldTrump was upheld by the activist judge. He did this even after hearing ANTIFA wishing death on @RealBlackRebel_and MAGA. Portland PD is owned by ANTIFA! All of these traitors need to be arrested and prosecuted!

Let ICE do their job, deport every illegal and arrest everyone who gets in the way including compromised local PD!

🚨 WTF?! Portland Police are now ACTIVELY DEFENDING Antifa militants, telling local residents they “will be ARRESTED” if they drive down Antifa-controlled streets

Residents are FED UP by this occupation.

President Trump MUST liberate Portland!

Absolutely. It’s sickening.
Is she going to stay in the evening and watch Antifa go crazy, or is it too unsafe for her to be there?

As long as you have Democrats flouting the law and
Democrat judges,
You and I will have this problem!
Does anybody else riot and burn things?
Just Democrats.
Lincoln sought to
unite this country.
In hindsight that was a mistake. He should have
deported them to deepest and darkest Africa
where they are are more at home at.

They are pulling out all the wild, lame excuses to get rid of ICE.

I heard that the Silly of Portland issued a code violation on ICE because their windows are boarded up so no one can look in

I don’t know....

There were few who have been informed about her schedule in portland today....

It would be pretty sneaky if a motorcade left the facility....

and Noem stayed behind to see what happened overnight

Benny Johnson is in the Portland ICE building with Noem.

He has several posts and videos on his X page.

Hope she has plenty of security. Portland like Chicago & Seattle & Baltimore & NY City are CRAP cities, not worth a plugged nickel. Danger for her is high.
