Protesters reportedly set fire to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland on Saturday night before cops swept in to disperse the crowds.
Photos and videos posted on social media showed flames engulfing a barrier protecting the ICE building in Portland’s South Waterfront district, which has been a frequent target of demonstrations over the past year.
The protesters also appeared to create a makeshift bonfire in front of the building by setting fire to a pile of wooden pallets.
As they have with many previous protests, the officers reportedly resorted to firing pepper balls into the crowd to force people to disperse.

send in the military and end this with extreme prejudice.
THAT should have happened last year, WHILE TRUMP was still in office.. BUT TO Expect it now, is a fools errand.
Don’t look now…Violent insurrection in progress!
Time to use live ammunition in response to this attack on our republic’s rule of law. Barricading occupants inside a building and setting it on fire is an act of terrorism and attempted murder.
Wait, I’m wrong. It’s happening at night. Never mind. Curfew laws need to be removed. No purpose is served in making criminals out of these mostly peaceful protesters.
WE should have been using live ammo from DAY ONE… Maybe if we did, we’d not be STILL SEEING THIS a full on year later.
How does that even happen? ANTIFA is just an idea, not an organization perpetuating violence. Just ask anyone in the MSM or anal democrap
Why have they not been placed on the Dem Terrorist List.
Enough, go in with live ammo and finish this.
BECAUSE to the dems they are THEIR MILITARY! Ergo they are authorized.
Arsonists should not be dispersed. They should be arrested and charged with arson and attempted murder. Those in burning buildings and fire fighters are at risk of life and health. Arsonists in the act or fleeing should be shot with live ammo. That would not only save lives at the scene, but reduce the activity afterwards.
The only thing that will stop this, is shooting a few of these radicals. But it will never happen. Trump made a big mistake, by not having Federal Marshals go into these cities in force, heavily armed and that would have stopped this garbage.
It is way past time for pepper balls.
TO heck with pepper balls.. START hurling rabid wolverines into the rioters..
Guess the fire was a vague concept just like Antifa is according to the FBI.
It was a mostly peaceful fire.
But, but…the guy in the White House specifically stated that Antifa is ‘just an idea’. Furthermore, he said he couldn’t say anything about the riots and ‘protests’ in Oregon because he was just an average citizen (yeah, because average citizens run for President every day). Well, now he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, or supposedly does. What is his excuse now?
he has none. but that doesn’t matter
Now that the KKK is basically defunct the Democrats needed a new enforcement arm to keep the party in line. This is obvious because ANTIFA only targeted Democrat controlled cities wher they could get away withtheir shenanigans, Republican run cities would have dealt swiftly and effectively. Tying Donald Trump to their ‘protests’ was like catching a greased pig but the grease is wearing off and Joe Biden is in charge!

The Lawful action by the police was used by Antifa. the rioters as an excuse to destroy property and get free stuff too, Free stuff is always good.

I’m sorry about the double posting, justgot carried away, I Guess!
Peaceful protest, fine. Once it turns violent, break out the clubs and dogs!
SO far, have ANY of these BLM Protests NOT TURNED violent?
But ABC news said they were peaceful protest .
