Portland Antifa Violence Ignored: Residents, Businesses Demand Federal Help
The Dallas Express ^ | Oct 11, 2025 | J Galt

The White House is spotlighting what it describes as years of unchecked Antifa violence in Portland, Oregon, hosting independent journalists who have documented the unrest as President Donald Trump mobilizes federal resources to address what officials call a “reign of terror” ignored by mainstream outlets.

The roundtable, announced Wednesday, highlighted repeated attacks on federal facilities and private businesses in Portland, where residents say local leaders have failed to restore public safety.

Since early June, Antifa militants have maintained a violent siege of the ICE field office in south Portland — breaching the facility with a stop sign, hurling explosives at officers, burning American flags, and even rolling out a guillotine, according to the White House.

“It’s like a war zone. There are times I’ve had to have a gas mask on inside my own home,” said a resident near the besieged ICE facility. “[Deploying the National Guard] is one thing I support, as far as Trump is concerned, because the city is failing us and I don’t want to feel like I’m collateral damage — and my rights matter, too.”

Business owners echoed the frustration. “Yesterday morning, I was broken into again for the tenth time,” said a downtown shop owner. “We need help here and something needs to be done, so if [the National Guard] is what we need to do to get our leaders paying attention, then I think it’s a good thing. We’ve been struggling for a long time — since 2020.”

Federal prosecutors have charged dozens with crimes including arson, assaulting federal officers, and resisting arrest during the ongoing ICE facility attacks. The White House cited years of similar incidents, including the 2020 riots that lasted more than 100 days, causing widespread property destruction and injuries to law enforcement.

Give me one platoon, just one platoon. I’ll clear the area around those ICE facilities. Since ANTIFA doesn’t exist, nothing would have happened.

GEORGE: Hello, Natalie? Yeah, this is a business office but I'm not a business man per se. I'm here working for the people. Yes, I'm causing dissent.
