Federal law enforcement arrested several Antifa militants in Portland late Monday evening. The individuals were mobilizing outside of an Immigration and Customs (ICE) facility with the intent to attack the building.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

From The Post Millennial:

Federal police officers made several arrests outside the US Immigration and Customs (ICE) facility in Southwest Portland late Monday evening, following an aggressive mobilization by Antifa militants intent on attacking the building. The incident marks a continuation of increased tensions stemming from the anti-ICE occupation surrounding the area of the building, which began in early June.

Approximately 50 to 75 black bloc individuals, many affiliated with Antifa networks, gathered in front of the ICE facility around dusk on Monday. The group had put out a call for “mass mobilization” on social media after reports that ICE had detained an illegal immigrant inside the facility. Protesters hurled projectiles at the building, resulting in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Protective Services (FPS) agents and ICE officers busting out of the gate to make several targeted arrests.

Federal police officers deployed crowd control munitions to disperse the unruly crowd after issuing several warnings to vacate federal property. At least three arrests were made for various offenses.

According to The Post Millennial, Antifa has been occupying the area surrounding the building for weeks now. Militants have taken to shouting at and sometimes assaulting officers, as well as blaring loud sirens and other sounds. The noise has aggravated local residents, one of whom was seen on video telling Antifa they are “worse than ICE.”

You can find videos of the arrests here, and videos of the resident’s confrontation with Antifa here. Be warned, however, as both videos contain profanity and sexually-charged language.

These arrests come as anti-ICE sentiment has been on the rise around the nation. Many have taken to harassing, protesting, or even outright assaulting law enforcement. As IFA reported in June, ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults, and many are also being doxxed and dealing with death threats.

As violence against law enforcement continues, let’s pray for protection for those working to make America safer.

I ask in union with my brothers and sisters for Your miraculous protection and favor over all of our law enforcement officers and their families. Please grant them supernatural guidance and direction as they carry out their duties, May they hear Your voice, “This is the way, walk ye in it” and heed carefully Your warnings!

Lord Jesus I thank You for who You are and Your love for all people. I pray that the hearts and understanding be opened to see that this is a country of laws and when those laws are broken there are consequences. It would be total chaos if there were no laws and we don’t get to pick and choose which ones to obey and which ones to ignore.
Protect all those in law enforcement as their job is dangerous and thankless in a lot of cases. Protect their families as well and bring to justice all who break our laws or attack our officers. Those who came into our country illegally broke our laws and should be returned to their own countries.

Lord have mercy! . May the church rise up and enforce the victory of Jesus Christ over the darkness. As well as the ICE agents enforcing law and order. May the Spirit of the Lord intervene in this aggression and lawlessness occuring around the ICE facility in Portland. In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen

    I agree, Janea! And I pray that the institutional church would cease encouraging lawlessness, and instead offer to help illegal immigrants they are aware of to self-deport, and repent of their choice to act in violation of our borders and our laws. That would be a righteous choice, and one that YHVH can honor.

    Beverly, I pray an overwhelming end to Connecticut’s unlawful efforts. God is the source of order not mayhem. He is the source of truth and justice not deceit. I praise the Name of Jesus Christ over Connecticut AND California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia,Washington, and DC 🙏 Dear LORD, continue to bless us all!

The illegal immigrants were asked nicely to leave the USA. They are offered 1000.00 AND a free plane ride………home AND if they did this they would be welcomed back into our country going thru the correct process. If they do not cooperate then they will be removed and will not be allowed back into the country. Choices.
Something else……there is a lot of violence that the illegal immigrants are facing. The media tries to portray that the illegal immigrants are victimized……..by violence……..by ICE………and the media and others needs to remember/recognize that these people have choices. CHOICES. These people (illegal immigrants) are just that…….illegal………. that is the first crime that was committed. If they would leave peacefully like they were asked……..there would not be this “violence” and claim of victimization.
To be a citizen of the USA is a privilege, not a right.

I pray Lord for guidance wisdom and direction for those people who are here illegally to be convicted by You, Lord, or thru You, by someone who can break thru to them, to voluntarily and safely remove themselves from our country. Lord we ask for safety and protection for all of the ICE agents as they go about t doing there job of helping our country. We ask in the mighty name of Jesus to move this mountain………Mark 11:24, thank you Lord for listening and answering this prayer, amen.

Antifa Ideology:
Anti-fascism
Anti-authoritarianism
Anti-capitalism
Anti-statism
Anti-Trumpism
Anarchism
Socialism
Communism….

Matthew 27:50 Jesus shouted again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit. Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom; the earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs were also opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And they came out of the tombs after His resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many. When the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said,
“This man really was God’s Son!”

Dear Heavenly Father, these soldiers of anarchy are as deceived as Rome’s were in Jesus’ time. The ones who dressed Him in a scarlet robe, the ones who placed a crown of thorns on His head, knelt down before Him and mocked Him, spit on Him and nailed Him to a Cross to crucify Him… Antifa is no different. I am reminded that we love You because You first loved us. And because of LOVE and for OUR sins, Jesus died on the Cross. Many continued to mock as He hung but at the moment Jesus died, there was a great earthquake, tombs were opening up and when a centurion saw these things, he was filled with fear. At that time, he recognized and confessed, “truly this was the Son of God.” I say, “ He IS the Son of God” and I pray You will bring these Antifa’s soldiers of deception to the same understanding. You know what it takes to bring us to the end of ourselves. You know what it takes to open our hearts to truth. I pray in the Name of Jesus, You will do this for the members of Antifa. I am asking, I am seeking, I am knocking…You say that everyone who keeps asking receives; the one who keeps seeking finds; and to the one who keeps knocking, the door will be opened. Please LORD, turn these soldiers of chaos into an army for Christ…for Your Glory! Amen

    Yes, Susan, whosoever will may come!! YHVH is making Himself known, and revealing Yeshua His Son, and Holy Spirit is drawing all mankind – the way is open to those who will respond in faith and repentance. Perhaps after being incarcerated, they will hear better – so, Lord send forth the workers into our jails and prisons!

Good news. These bad actors need to be arrested, and be made an example of. These misguided, deceived people need to be eliminated from our society ASAP. Lord Jesus, I ask that You will put a hedge of protection around the ICE agents, as well as the law enforcement officers as they do their duties in our nation. Thank You Jesus.
