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.
