In late September, President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deploy National Guard troops to Portland to defend the city’s long-besieged Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. For years, that building and its employees have been under relentless attack from Antifa and other far-left extremist groups, while the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has stood by, refusing to restore order or hold the offenders accountable.
Instead of protecting federal property and law-abiding citizens, the PPB has routinely turned a blind eye to left-wing violence — yet somehow finds the time and resources to harass, assault, and even arrest conservative independent journalists who dare to document it.
