Portland Police Chief Bob Day is the city's worst police leader yet. In September 2023, retired Portland Police officer Robert “Bob” Day was tapped by Mayor/Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler to lead the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) after DEI hire Chuck Lovell, who is black, abruptly demoted himself. It was the latest chapter in a turbulent era for the Bureau. Since Antifa’s rise around 2016, Portland has burned through five police chiefs in nine years — each one failing in their own way, though Danielle Outlaw at least publicly dared to criticize Antifa’s routine violence on the streets. She was never...

Your Friday night entertainment of Pantifa losers getting arrested. See the world's biggest crybaby get arrested by ICE. The man goes by she/her pronouns and cries rape after being held by the feds. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" Someone even dubbed the Imperial March into the video at one point. Much love to Nick Sortor.

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

Tensions boiled over outside Portland’s ICE building late Thursday night when police detained independent reporter Nick Sortor during a confrontation with protesters. Sortor, known for his on-the-ground coverage of stories often overlooked by mainstream outlets, found himself in handcuffs after what witnesses described as a defensive response to an attack. VIDEOS AT LINK............ One observer, C.K. Bouferrache, who goes by Honeybadgermom on X, captured the confusion in real time: “Looked like @nicksortor got jumped. We are on the lower roof at ICE but difficult to tell exactly what happened at this distance. Portland liaison officers stand nearby and watch.” Bouferrache...

PPB announced they were making targeted arrests following several scuffles. Sortor was being targeted by Antifa shortly before.

The U.S. government has asked the Oregon federal judge presiding over National Guard case to recuse himself. Following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he will deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Trump administration. The federal judge presiding over the case is Michael Simon, who is married to Oregon Representative Suzanne Bonamici. Bonamici is one of the members of Congress representing the City of Portland. On Saturday, Bonamici was one of the Oregon leaders who spoke out against the deployment of federal troops to Portland. The Department...

A journalist covering the “complete lawlessness” in Portland said she was left with a painful black eye when a masked “Antifa-affiliated protester” whacked her in the face with a flagpole. Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt appeared on Fox News Wednesday night with a big bruise under her right eye suffered while covering the nightly protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the long-troubled Oregon city. She said she was attacked Tuesday night by one of the “Antifa-affiliated protesters who harass, assault, and threaten anyone who they perceive to be a threat to their cause, including journalists, local...

Violent Antifa criminals have laid siege to the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon, for over 100 days. Every night the encampment of wackos – some dressed as a unicorn or a chicken – blast loud music, engage in anti-government chants over loudspeakers and megaphones, and when they violently clash with law enforcement officers it reverberates around the neighborhood. Since the protest started on June 2, neighbor Cloud Elvengrail has barely slept. Assaulted and bullied by the Antifa goons, she describes the area as a “war zone” and “terrifying.” On paper she’s exactly the type of person the mob claim...

PORTLAND, OR — Despite urgent pleas from the public to address the chaos unleashed on the city by radical leftist terrorists, the mayor of Portland downplayed the threat of Antifa and announced that the group that had just lit him on fire was completely under control. Mayor Keith Wilson bristled at media questions about the city's response to President Donald Trump's authorization of military troops being used to restore order to the city, assuring everyone that the fact that he had been set ablaze by Antifa was not an indication of a greater problem. "We don't need help against...

The invasion of a sovereign nation is an act of war. So it should come as no surprise to see weapons used against those tasked with defending the country being invaded: Federal authorities said four people were taken into custody after a laser pointer was aimed at a Department of Homeland Security helicopter in Portland — all illegal aliens. The FBI Portland Division said the incident happened on Saturday evening. Agents said a Customs and Border Protection helicopter was conducting law enforcement operations when it was struck by the laser. Lasers can incapacitate pilots, with potentially disastrous consequences. That’s the...

On Sunday night, per President Trump's orders, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth mobilized National Guardsmen to Portland, Oregon, to defend federal agents involved in the arrest and deportation of illegal criminals. 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days. If you've followed the news over, well, the last decade, you know Portland is a hotbed for transgender communist violence. We have an entire category dedicated to its weird brand of lawlessness on our site. Anticipating the order, or just desiring some more "mostly peaceful" fun, a group...

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer PROMISES he will stop President Trump's deployment of troops to Portland and ICE facilities to quell insurrection. "We will FIGHT IT! [...] This is SO FAR stepping over the line that I hope some [Republicans] will join us in legislation to prevent it - we HAVE such a proposal. I'm part of it." Good luck with that, Chuck. There is NOTHING illegal about the troops defending federal property.

President Donald Trump is sending troops into Portland, Oregon 'effective immediately' as residents mock his efforts to rid the 'war ravaged' city of 'domestic terrorists' with a federal takeover. On Sunday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a memorandum ordering 200 members of the Oregon National Guard into federal service. Hegseth said the troops would perform 'federal functions for 60 days, including protecting federal property ''where protests are occurring or likely to occur''.' The deployment is the latest in the US president's campaign to improve crime rates, targeting Democrat-led cities including Washington DC and Los Angeles. But residents have mocked...

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A Battlefield, Mo. man charged with making a terroristic threat at a south Springfield Walmart in August pleaded guilty to an amended charge. Dmitriy Andreychenko, 20, pleaded guilty in a Greene County courtroom Friday to an amended charge of making a false report...

I would never hurt anyone, and I'm sorry." A judge sentenced him to a 180 day suspended jail sentence, two years...

PORTLAND, Ore. — President Donald Trump appears to be cooling on his plans to send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, according to an interview Sunday morning with NBC.When asked whether he is still sending troops to Portland, which he described as "War ravaged" in a social media post Saturday, Trump said his administration will make a decision on that 'pretty soon.'"Well, I mean, we're certainly looking at it," Trump said. "You can't have that. We don't want that. They're attacking our ICE facility and they're attacking other federal buildings."Trump made the comments during a...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced that the state, along with the City of Portland, has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and several federal officials. The move comes after Trump invoked Title 10, authorizing 200 Guard members to perform federal duties for 60 days, including protecting federal property amid protests. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, contends that the President lacks authority to federalize the Guard, as there is no invasion, rebellion, or inability to execute federal laws in Oregon. Gov. Kotek expressed her concerns, stating, "There is...

Federal agents began arriving in “war ravaged” Portland, Ore., over the weekend after President Donald Trump ordered military deployment to the city, with at least one clash already erupting outside an ICE facility. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was seen Friday shoving a protester to the ground, according to video footage captured by KATU-TV. Another demonstrator was detained as agents confronted crowds outside the South Portland site. In an early-morning Truth Social post Saturday, Trump said he authorized “full force” to protect what he called “War ravaged Portland” and federal buildings “under siege by ANTIFA, and other domestic terrorists.”...

Let’s be clear. There is zero cause or justification for President Donald Trump to send federal troops to Portland and authorize “full force.” Despite Trump’s bluster over the very limited protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland, the city is not “war ravaged,” nor is the ICE building “under siege” by “domestic terrorists.” Portlanders, of course, know this already, because we live, work and raise our families here. We know from our daily routines – school drop-offs, commutes through the city and evening get-togethers – that Trump’s characterizations are divorced from reality. While the modest protests...

Following President Trump's announced intention to surge federal forces into Portland, Oregon, where riots are held daily outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, the useful idiots of Anti Profa are planning a "direct action" for Sunday, September 28th. This is a significant escalation. As is so often the case, the independent journalist and Antifa foe Andy Ngo broke the news.A direct action has been planned for Sept. 28 at the Portland ICE facility after Trump issued a statement that he plans to send in troops to protect the federal property. Antifa and communists have said they refuse to back down...
