President Trump Cracks Down on Antifa’s Reign of Terror in Portland

Rapid Response

President Trump announced he will be deploying federal resources to Portland, Oregon to combat the Antifa-led attacks and anarchy in the city.

Democrat officials like Oregon Governor Tina Kotek are in complete and total denial, but law enforcement officers have been battered, citizens terrorized, and property defaced.
 

 
 

In June, Antifa militants attacked law enforcement officers with explosives, pepper spray, rocks, and bricks while infiltrating an ICE facility.

Antifa’s reign of terror in Portland has been going on for years

  • In June, rioters launched fireworks at law enforcement officers and shined lasers in their eyes.
  • In 2024, Antifa burned 15 Portland Police cars. 
  • In 2023, residents and businesses fled Portland due to surging crime, homelessness, and public drug use.
  • In 2022, Antifa used smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons, and fireworks to disrupt a Republican campaign event.
  • In 2021, over 100 Antifa members attacked Portland police, some with knives and poles.
  • In 2020 , Antifa led 100 days of terror, rioting, looting, burning buildings, and attacking law enforcement officers. 
  • In 2019, Antifa attacked rightwing demonstrators and law enforcement with quick drying cement and bear spray. 
  • In 2018, Antifa beat a man “for carrying an American flag.” 
  • In 2017, Antifa attacked law enforcement officers and people attending a “Trump Free Speech” rally. 
  • In 2016 , Antifa caused over $1 million in damage following President Trump’s election. 

President Trump has rightfully designated Antifa as a terrorist organization, making it clear that this lawlessness must stop. Far-left terror organizations will no longer be allowed to ravage our cities thanks to President Trump’s leadership.
