Update: Thursday evening, the Illinois State Police announced that a “temporary Unified Command” had been established to “coordinate public safety measures” around the facility. A news release listed ISP and the Broadview Police Department as partnering with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, the county’s Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
They organized the protesters and got them out of the street.
The problem is Antifa were not simply protesting.
A spokesperson for Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement that officers from the unified command “show their faces, they have proper identification, and they are accountable to the people of Illinois.” The RoundTable on Friday, though, spotted multiple state troopers and NIPAS (Northern Illinois Police Alarm System) officers without names or ID numbers, wearing face masks, or both.
Original Story
The area where the ice facility in Portland is located is mostly surrounded by water and a freeway. The easiest way for residents to go south is to go past the ICE building on the main road. Most of the roads in the area are one way and do a circle around the island.
Portland police are now telling residents they will be arrested if they drive down that main road because it’s one of the Antifa-controlled streets. Reportedly the residents are frustrated and fed up.
Protecting and Defending Antifa
Police have certain orders that they have to follow. However, far-left politicians and activists have had control over the hiring and firing of police for a very long time and that seems to be reflected here as well. Police don’t seem to have a good concept of what their mission is.
They are defending and protecting a domestic terrorist group and allowing them to riot, scream, and protest outside the ice facility in a very menacing and dangerous way. They are allowing them to take away a major street from residents.
That’s not a protest.
If you listen to the clip after the first screenshot, you will hear the liaison officer screaming at the woman to turn her car around as he protects Antifa. He threatened her with arrest instead of breaking up the riot in front of the ICE facility and the mobs of Antifa in surrounding areas.
The mayor gave the domestic terrorists the right to direct traffic. It’s hard fixing something run by criminals. That includes the mayor and the governor.
The mayor gave ANTIFA the right to direct traffic in Portland Oregon.

The Judge
Judge Immergut of Portland halted President Trump’s order to send National Guard to Portland. She said the locals could handle it. True, but they don’t.
She was recommended to President Trump by The Federalist Society.
Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life.

Police have a habit of protecting these criminals going back to the cities that were burned and looted where they stood around and did nothing. Police also had a habit of chasing children off of playgrounds and intimidating adults during Covid.
President Trump and ICE are attempting to rescue the Americans in Oregon.
Many are far too stupid to realize that they need to be rescued. After all, it was they who elected the leftist trash that has persecuted them for the last two decades. My guess is Portlandia will only realize the urgency of the matter when armed pANTIFAgs march into their homes, clean out their refrigerators and plop their asses down… Read more »
Those of us in the northwest who have been paying attention know that pANTIFA has been taking over streets and neighborhoods in Portland since their daddy, Obongo, was in the White House. Ask newsman Andy Ngo, who has been assaulted numerous times while attempting to report on pANFIFAg violence and evildoings. And the Portland Police Department has been doing nothing… Read more »
