Bad Night for Antifa in Portland As Feds Move In –

As RedState reported, President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that he had approved sending troops to Portland, Oregon, in response to ongoing anti-ICE violence in the notoriously far-left, poorly-led blue metropolis, some of which is being orchestrated by the leftist Antifa rioters that Democrats keep claiming do not exist.

“I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump said on Truth Social, noting he was authorizing them to use “full pressure” if necessary.

In response, Antifa has reportedly planned a “direct motion” event at the Portland ICE facility, set to take place sometime Sunday afternoon.

While that situation has yet to play out, and while it’s also unclear when troops will actually be sent in, a federal presence was already visible Friday night ahead of Trump’s official announcement:

NEW: We just spotted masked federal law enforcement in a Homeland Security armored truck pulling into the federal building in Downtown Portland. @fox12oregon crews also saw many SUVs at PDX’s Customs & Border Protection headquarters leaving earlier today. pic.twitter.com/8IRDCsK3KG

Sure enough, as the Antifa thuggery obtained underway Saturday night time, they have been met not just with a response via air:

🚨 WOW! The feds flew a Blackhawk helicopter above Antifa at ICE Portland in a decisive show of pressure.

Play time is over. Resources have surged to quell the rebellion. 🔥

Video taken 10 minutes in the past from South waterfront Portland, Oregon close to the Portland ice facility. We have Blackhawk helicopters and drones flying over the neighborhood . It’s unhappy that it got here to this, but after 4 months of violent nightly riots by ANTIFA it’s about time… pic.twitter.com/lIMXQOYaHe

But also on the ground:

Portland, OR. ICE building. It’s very rowdy tonight already. The Blackhawk helicopter has circled the world a number of occasions. pic.twitter.com/XNdWbSOk2a

Daviscourt, an investigative reporter for The Post Millennial, also wrote that “It’s mass chaos tonight outside the ICE facility. Agitators appear to be furious about military deployment.”

It is, of course, only going to worsen for Antifa and their allies the longer they keep this up, as Trump has made it crystal clear that the times of feckless “management” from Democrats amid the routine takeovers of metropolis streets from these far-left thugs in blue cities are over.

As always, keep tuned.

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do all the things they will to intervene with and threaten ICE brokers imposing our immigration legal guidelines.
