This past weekend, a violent mob led by left-wing groups Antifa and Black Bloc vandalized and set fire to a U.S. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Portland, Oregon – while some federal agents were still inside.
That attack came late Saturday night, 100 black bloc street agitators gathered at the ICE building in Portland for a planned protest.
It was only a few short months ago when the mainstream media and the Democratic Party effectively called a ‘state of emergency’, invoking a ‘domestic terror crisis’ over the Capitol protests on Jan 6th.
However, after months of organized attacks in the major west coast hub Portland, and even the burning of federal buildings by radicalized left-wing mobs – the media and the White House remain quiet, effectively endorsing the violence and civil unrest.

Blaze TV reports…
The ICE building was vandalized with graffiti, including “DHS murders.” Agitators barricaded the front door of the building with a chain link fence.
Someone put a traffic cone on the security camera to prevent the rioters from being identified. Fireworks were launched at the ICE building.
Video shared by BlazeTV personality Elijah Schaffer showed rioters set the front of the ICE building on fire.

Last night, #antifa in Portland barricaded the front of the @ICEgov building. They then set it on fire while federal officers were inside. Antifa also obscured the security cameras before launching the arson attack. #PortlandRiots https://t.co/DCggRqUFmP

“An #antifa gives the #BLM fist salute while the crowd cheers on the burning of the @ICEgov Portland facility last night,” Ngo wrote on Twitter. “Officers were trapped inside when antifa set the building on fire.”
The mob chanted, “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!”

Federal agents fired crowd control munitions, including pepper balls, on the mob outside the ICE building.

The Portland Police Bureau did not mention Saturday night’s unrest and did not announce any arrests regarding the riot.
Despite President Joe Biden succeeding Donald Trump as president, protests and riots have been occurring regularly in Portland. Last month, violence erupted at the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse in Portland, which was also set ablaze.
There has been a soaring crime rate in Portland, and city council members responded by planning to use unarmed park rangers to combat gun violence.
