In the end, the people WILL prevail. King Donald and his legion of suck-ups are on the wrong side of history.
Protests at the Portland ICE facility have continued into August, marking two months of demonstrations. Dozens of individuals have been federally charged in connection with the protests. Some of the allegations have included trespassing and felony assault of an officer.
In June, several police officers reportedly sustained injuries during a violent outbreak at a Portland ICE facility, where a “No Kings” protest drew tens of thousands. The demonstration reportedly turned chaotic when a crowd attacked federal agents and set off fireworks. Reports have indicated that the incident led to the wounding of four officers.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) condemned attacks on law enforcement and the doxxing of ICE agents, vowing to continue enforcement efforts. DHS warned that violence against officers will result in prosecution.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “Portland rioters are violently targeting federal law enforcement and we won’t sit idly by and watch these cowards.”
McLaughlin added, “Our officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, and gang members.”
McLaughlin stated, “Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
The Portland Police declared the protest an unlawful assembly, warning of possible use of crowd control. They later announced targeted arrests due to criminal activity.
The Portland Police Bureau wrote, “Please move away from the entrance and do not interfere with Police or medical during the process or force may be used against you.”
DHS wrote, “We will NOT be deterred by rioters’ intimidation and threats.” DHS added, “ICE immigration enforcement will only ramp up. The violent targeting of law enforcement in Portland, OR by lawless rioters is despicable, and its leaders must call for it to end.”
