Portland Police Finally Arrest Someone: It’s Going to Backfire on Them

Just yesterday I wrote about the assault of reporter Katie Daviscourt by one of the Antifa goons “protesting” outside at the Portland ICE facility. But the real story wasn’t the assault, which probably surprised no one, it was the lack of response by Portland Police.

After dragging an officer over and identifying the individual responsible, the officer let the attacker walk away. And later the police put out a request asking people to help them identify the suspect.

There is absolutely no doubt at this point that Portland police are intentionally giving the Antifa goons space to carry out their nightly protests/attacks. ICE’s Portland director just gave an interview yesterday confirming that police either show up slowly or not at all when Antifa assaults people in the area.

NEW: ICE’s Portland Director tells me it’s like there’s a “bubble” around the ICE building where Portland PD won’t respond to violence due to politics from Mayor & city council. She says it’s frustrating for Feds to watch people get attacked on the street & not have jurisdiction. pic.twitter.com/Xouwfsy4D5

In other words, what happened to Katie Daviscourt isn’t an oversight. It’s policy.

Another reporter who has been on the ground covering the chaos is Nick Sortor. He has recently been critical of the Portland Police Bureau’s lack of action in the area, saying so in this report for Fox News.

🚨 WATCH: I was just SCREAMED AT & HARASSED by leftists outside the Portland ICE facility while I was LIVE on @IngrahamAngle

They’re VILE people

Portland DESPERATELY needs help, 47!

Later the same night there was the usual chaos in the area. The feds (as opposed to the Portland police) arrested at least one person.

🚨 FAFO ALERT: A degenerate leftist just jumped onto federal property at the Portland ICE facility and CHALLENGED agents to “do something about it”

And they DID — QUICKLY 🤣

Dude ended up on the pavement, arrested, and dragged into the facility

And there was another fight outside. Neither of the two guys involved were arrested.

A fight breaks out at the ICE facility in Portland.

Portland police officers watch from afar, as the zone they’re in charge of remains lawless. Feds took both individuals into custody. pic.twitter.com/1Cls2s1s7I

Portland police finally did show up to make arrests. And for reasons that aren’t clear, they arrested Nick Sortor: The person who shot the video of the arrest didn’t understand why it was happening. Neither did other bystanders.

I walked over towards the Portland police with @nicksortor. Nick and I were recording a lady making complaints to the police and then the lady walked off. Nick stood a few feet from the police and was joking with them saying something along the lines of “I don’t like the police… pic.twitter.com/XabGHesaZQ

Sortor was held overnight and released this morning. He then spoke to Fox News’ Bill Melugin and gave this description of what led up to the arrest.

So he was chased, attacked, swung at someone and missed and then ran over to the officers for help. And that’s when he got arrested. Portland PD put out a series of tweets defending the arrest this morning.

Among those arrested was an individual known to have a significant social media presence, as well as others representing a range of political viewpoints.

But as mentioned in the Melugin clip, this decision on the heals of failing to arrest many Antifa goons involved in violence is not going over well in the Trump administration. It sounds like federal oversight is coming.

Nick and I have spoken, as have @AGPamBondi and I. This is a high priority for @CivilRights. About damn time Portland took the law seriously. 🤨 https://t.co/9gqyjnyP6d

A letter has already been sent to the City Attorney and the Police Chief demanding documents and information on the arrests (and non-arrests).

🚨 BREAKING: Asst AG Harmeet Dhillon has ALREADY sent a letter to the City of Portland, demanding documents related to Portland PD’s targeted arrest of me, as well as their refusal to arrest @KatieDaviscourt’s attacker

President Trump is also involved. This came up at today’s White House press briefing.

🚨 BREAKING: In response to my wrongful arrest in Portland, President Trump has ORDERED his staff to review federal aid to be CUT in the city, per Karoline Leavitt

Bottom line, Portland’s decision to give free reign to Antifa is going to backfire on the city in a big way. Here’s one final interview in which Sortor describes the hour he spent in a police car while officers were trying to decide what to charge him with. “They were making it up as they went,” he said.

🚨BREAKING: Nick Sortor just WENT OFF on the ANTIFA THUGS and the Portland Police for ATTACKING, ARRESTING, and CONSPIRING against him!

HOLY CRAP! The police ACTIVELY TARGETED NICK because of his online presence! They VIOLATED his RIGHTS!
