Dem Mayors in Oregon Side with Antifa Terrorists, Vow to Deny Resources to Federal Troops [WATCH]

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and a coalition of Democratic mayors across Oregon are circulating a draft letter opposing President Donald Trump’s order to deploy federal troops to Portland.

The action follows months of unrest tied to a 24-hour Antifa occupation outside the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, which has been under siege since June 7.

The Post Millennial obtained a copy of the unsigned draft dated September 26, 2025.

The letter warns of “militarization” in the Portland metro area and outlines a coordinated strategy among local leaders to resist federal intervention.

It states that city governments will withhold resources from any federal operation deemed to infringe on civil liberties.

It also pledges direct legal support for protesters, including members of Antifa, which was designated a domestic terrorist organization by the United States earlier this week.

According to city sources, Mayor Wilson also intends to contact Portland hotels to request they deny lodging to federal officers and military personnel.

The draft letter reads: “As regional leaders, we commit to pursuing all legal and legislative options to counter this unprecedented, unnecessary, and unwanted effort to utilize militarized forces in a manner that could violate the constitutional rights of our community. We will use all legal tools at our disposal to deny our jurisdictions’ personnel, equipment, facilities, and resources from any participation or support of militarized federal actions that target the civil rights of our community, including that of assembly, free expression, or protest, unless directly required by local, state, or federal law.”

The draft lists several actions local governments plan to take to “safeguard the rights” of communities.

Among them are creating and sharing legal resources, coordinating across governments and community groups to disseminate information, submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ICE, and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and deploying human rights observers to monitor federal activities.

On Saturday morning, President Trump announced the deployment in a Truth Social post, directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to act at the request of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote.

Protesters established a tent encampment and maintain rotating shifts around the site.

Nightly clashes with federal law enforcement have included the use of projectiles, fireworks, and incendiary devices.

Federal prosecutors have charged at least 27 individuals with crimes ranging from assault on federal officers causing serious bodily injury to arson and vandalism of government property.

Portland Police have also made more than 20 arrests linked to related criminal activity.

The situation escalated after a court ruling in August limited local police authority at the site.

Multnomah County Judge Ellen Rosenblum, the state’s former Democratic attorney general, ruled that Portland Police are not required to enforce noise ordinances against demonstrators outside the ICE facility.

The decision came after a local resident filed a writ of mandamus petition urging police to intervene in nightly disturbances.

Residents near the ICE facility have repeatedly called for federal assistance, citing safety concerns and disruptions from ongoing demonstrations.

Despite their pleas, Oregon Democratic leaders have continued to claim that no chaos is taking place, disputing the necessity of federal action.

The Biden-era court ruling and the decision by local leaders not to intervene have left federal authorities responsible for responding to the unrest.

The occupation, which began June 7, has left portions of southwest Portland resembling a conflict zone.

The draft letter from Oregon mayors has not yet been formally released, but its contents suggest escalating friction between state and local officials and the Trump administration as federal troops prepare to intervene.
