In response to the political assassination of national hero Charlie Kirk and the disturbing rise of leftist violence across the country, Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched undercover investigations into various groups affiliated with left-wing political violence known to be operating in Texas. “Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America. There can be no compromise with those who...

These were the two individuals that were shot by ICE for ramming their vehicle

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

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Chicago native, on Monday echoed Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's alarm over President Donald Trump's plan to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago and other cities, calling the move an "outrageous assault on Illinois and Oregon" and invoking the GOP's own rhetoric on states' rights. "If ‘states' rights' mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime. Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon," Clinton wrote on X. Pritzker said Sunday the administration is ordering 400 members of the...

A new report sheds light on the mysterious organization called Rose City Antifa which is one of the most active and destructive rioter organizations in America. An insider was able to find out who is operating the organization and it turns out that it stretches all the way to Sweden. See Andy Ngo post and video at article.

Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested after a brush with Antifa in Portland on Thursday, but the charge was dropped by the district attorney on Monday. Sortor was documenting the rioting against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility by apparent left-wing agitators when police arrested him. He says some leftist protesters attacked him and that he swung back in defense before police intervened. The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said that police had probable cause to arrest Sortor, but "after a careful review of the investigation, including reports and video, we do not believe the crime of disorderly conduct can...

PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before. During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by California and Oregon.

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.

Most of us are familiar with the various tactics and strategies of the left — including congressional Democrats — in opposition to virtually everything related to President Donald Trump. Whether it be Trump's legislative proposals, executive orders, or presently at the top of the list, sending ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents and National Guard troops to out-of-control Democrat-run cities to forcibly remove illegal aliens and/or quell rampant violent crime, radical leftists remain hellbent on stopping the Trump administration at every turn. In Oakland, CA, on Sunday, hundreds of TDS-riddled radical activists attended a "training session" designed to teach "concrete...

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson's decision to align himself with the masked Antifa "protesters" confronting the ICE agents attempting to enforce America's immigration laws has created an inverted sense of justice in the city. At a demonstration outside the ICE offices in the city Antifa goons proceeded to attack journalist Nick Sortor who was observing the demonstration. Though outnumbered, Sorter's efforts to defend himself attracted the attention of the Portland Police who arrested him "for his own protection." The arresting officer explained "first of all, there was only one of him and dozens of Antifa. Arresting Sorter was feasible with minimal...

Mark Bray, a financier of international Antifa and the author of the Antifa Handbook, has announced he is fleeing to Europe (believed to be Spain). The announcement follows the U.S. government declaring Antifa domestic terrorists, and the intelligence community looking to establish the international links to declare international Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization. Without evidence, Bray says the reason is because of "death threats + doxing." Bray is one of the major financiers of the International Antifa Defence Fund, which also announced that it was shutting down to relocate its operations abroad in an attempt to escape U.S. prosecution....

In a drama reshaping Virginia’s high-stakes 2025 elections, Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones remains in the race despite widespread condemnation of a series of 2022 text messages in which he stated he would shoot a Republican politician in the head and fantasized about the children of another Republican being killed. The fallout has put pressure on Jones’ party to act, but so far, many prominent Democrats have stopped short of demanding his exit. The messages, first reported by the National Review on Friday and later picked up by multiple outlets, emerged from a 2022 exchange between Jones and Virginia...

Antifa activists are hosting a three-day training conference for fellow antifascists in Philadelphia this week, despite Democrats insisting that antifa is not an organization. The annual Philly Skillshare Convergence will occur over the coming Friday through Sunday, according to an advertisement circulating in antifa circles. So-called “skillshares” are educational sessions where activists gather to learn street-level strategies, often militant in nature. This year’s skillshare in Philadelphia is slated to offer a series of hourlong workshops, including a lesson on evading law enforcement and eluding capture.

A visiting professor at Harvard Law School has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly firing a pellet rifle outside a Brookline synagogue on the eve of Yom Kippur. Carlos Portugal Gouvea, 43, was arrested Wednesday night after police said he fired two shots near Temple Beth Zion on Beacon Street in what he later claimed was “hunting rats,” Brookline.News reported. Investigators do not believe that Gouvea was targeting the synagogue, but he was charged in Brookline District Court with illegally discharging a pellet gun, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and malicious damage of personal property, according to court records....

President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted a federal judge who blocked his deployment of Oregon National Guard troops, while repeatedly referring to her as a man. Trump appointed U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut, who on Saturday rejected the federal government’s assertion that Portland faced a “danger of rebellion” and that “regular forces” were unable to execute federal law. Speaking outside the White House, Trump said Immergut “ought to be ashamed of himself.” “I wasn’t served well by the people that pick judges. I can tell you things like that are just too bad. I appointed the judge and he...

ICE Spokesman: PORTLAND — Refuse to walk? We’ll give you a ride.

PORTLAND, Ore. — As protests continue nightly outside the Portland ICE facility, there have been multiple reports of people getting arrested or detained — but figuring out who is in charge and what happens afterward isn't always straightforward.At times, protesters are interacting with city police, county deputies or federal agents, and each agency handles arrests differently, which makes it harder for the public and journalists to track what is exactly happening.Most of the time, law enforcement around the ICE facility involves federal officers, who are responsible for securing the federal facility and enforcing federal law around the building, ranging from...

Federal agents in Portland, Chicago and elsewhere cracked down on the sustained anti-ICE riots and violent protests that have continued on a near nightly basis outside federal facilities in the blue strongholds. Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that besieged facilities in Portland, Broadview, Illinois and elsewhere would be bolstered by additional agents in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive actions aimed at dismantling left-wing terrorist groups. “I have witnessed the continued onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country. The Department of Justice will not stand idly by in the face of such lawlessness. At my...
