Federal law enforcement faced dangerous attacks from Antifa rioters at a Portland ICE facility. A transgender militant hurled a machete at officers during violent protests targeting immigration agents. These coordinated assaults included fireworks, knives, and attempts to burn down the building.
Antifa thugs tried to trap ICE agents inside the facility by blocking exits and setting fires. They breached the building’s exterior doors during one riot, forcing officers to push them back with crowd control measures. The violent mobs have repeatedly targeted this facility for weeks.
In a shocking moment, a transgender Antifa member swung and threw a large knife at federal officers. This brazen attack endangered the lives of those protecting our immigration laws. The militant was arrested alongside others who assaulted officers with fireworks and explosives.
Federal agents responded decisively to protect themselves and secure the facility. They used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to disperse rioters blocking entrances with dumpsters. Elite Border Patrol tactical teams assisted in quelling the violence and making arrests.
Assaults against ICE officers have skyrocketed by 500% during enforcement operations. Kristi Noem’s DHS made clear that attacking law enforcement brings serious consequences. Rioters will face full prosecution for endangering federal personnel.
These attacks show Antifa’s true goal: destroying America’s legal immigration system. Their violent tactics prove they hate our nation’s laws and the officers who enforce them. Patriots know we must stand with ICE against these lawless extremists.
The Portland riots reveal a dangerous pattern of left-wing violence against authority. Masked cowards hide their faces while attacking those who protect our borders. Real Americans support the brave agents defending our nation’s security.
Federal forces demonstrated unwavering resolve against domestic terrorism. They protected the facility and arrested violent agitators attempting to burn government property. ICE and their partners will continue enforcing our laws despite these attacks.
