Portland, Oregon's largest city, offers big city amenities, along with spectacular views of Mount Hood, the state's highest peak

Portland is the largest city in Oregon, very liberal and overwhelmingly white. It is the county seat of Multnomah County. The city's population is 583,776, according to the 2010 Federal Census. Portland is located at the confluence of the Willamette River and the Columbia River. The mayor is currently Ted Wheeler. This city was named after Portland, Maine.

Antifa

In September 2017, seven people were arrested after Antifa members threw "smoke and projectiles" at the police.[1]

In July 2018, Antifa terrorists attacked a Patriot Prayer rally in Portland and falsely accused the pro-Trump group of engaging in "violence and hatred", behavior which Antifa itself engaged in at the event.[2][3] Several of the Antifa attackers were later arrested for disorderly conduct.

Anti-ICE protestors were emboldened by a stand-down order against local police by Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler, violently protested in the city and threatened to kill the daughter of the owners of a mom n' pop food truck that serves ICE agents,[4] while police refused to respond to 911 requests for assistance to protect ICE agents attacked and threatened by the anti-ICE mob.[5] Wheeler subsequently came under heavy criticism and was accused of violating the Constitution for giving the stand-down order and exposing ICE agents and the public to danger from the protestors, and the union representing ICE agents notified Wheeler:

"your current policy forbidding Portland law enforcement agencies from assisting employees of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency ("ICE") who request law enforcement assistance while at or away from work is a violation of the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. As you are aware, the 14th Amendment forbids the government from denying any person or persons equal protection of the laws...We understand that you have a difference of opinion with the current President of the United States, and some of his policies, but we fail to see why targeting the employees of ICE and leaving them vulnerable to violence, harassment and even death furthers a legitimate government interest. Your policy has created a zone of terror and lawlessness. We ask that you end your policy of not responding to calls for police services from ICE employees immediately."[6]
.

In October 2018, Portland Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler mayor gave transparent excuses to defend his own decision to let Antifa block traffic and harass drivers and to block the police from intervening.[7][8]

2020 Antifa riots

Communists tore down a statue to Thomas Jefferson.
See also: 2020 Antifa riots

Antifa broke into the Portland, Oregon Justice Center,[9] housing the central police precinct and the sheriff's office, and set a room on fire with occupants still inside the building.[10] A man carrying an American flag was beaten by white Antifa terrorists.[11] Small businesses were vandalized and looted.[12][13] Stolen cars were driven into stores.[14] A Chase Bank branch was attacked[15] and set on fire.[16] Virtually all offenders in these incidents were white. Antifa terrorists attempted to blind police with laser lights. Communist protesters tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson, author of "all men are created equal."[17] Antifa terrorists toppled the George Washington statue. Washington is commonly referred to as the "father of the nation."[18]

Portland has been the hotbed of subversive Anti-American communist and anti-Trump activity since 2017. More than 100 fires were set in and around downtown.[19] After the Minneapolis George Floyd riot, Portland was under siege by leftwing white supremacists nightly for over a month.[20] More than 100 people were injured and over $20 million in damages. Oregon Democrat governor Kate Brown did absolutely nothing to stop the violence.

2017 Portland train murders

On May 26, 2017, Jeremy Christian, a disturbed homeless man, stabbed three men to death on the city's mass transit train. According to media reports, Christian made anti-Muslim remarks to two teenage girls who appeared to be Muslim. Reports also say that he made other "anti-everything" and "anti-religious" remarks. The three men were stabbed as they attempted to defend the girls.

The left-wing media was quick to label Christian as "racist," "right-wing," "anti-Muslim," and a "white separatist," despite the fact that Christian's Facebook posts painted a very different picture, showing him to be left-wing in his opinions, such as supporting atheism, marijuana use, and opposing controversial oil pipelines, and to hate all "monotheists," including Jews and Christians, and to be anti-racist. He also voted for Bernie Sanders and supported Jill Stein in the 2016 presidential election, was rejected by Trump voters at events, and held many other left-wing positions.[21][22]
