Antifa Tried to Riot Last Night After Trump Ordered National Guard to Portland – But Feds Weren’t in the Mood for Their Shenanigans! (Videos)

Date:  September 29, 2025

Folks, it’s about dang time somebody put the kibosh on the chaos in Portland, that liberal wasteland where Antifa thugs have been running amok for years like spoiled brats in a candy store. President Trump, God love him, didn’t waste a second—on Saturday, he directed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to mobilize 200 Oregon National Guard troops into federal service for 60 days to protect ICE agents rounding up illegal criminals. These Guardsmen are there to back up federal law enforcement and finally restore some order to a city that’s been a hotbed of transgender communist violence for over a decade. Oregon’s Democrat leaders, like Gov. Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield, are throwing a hissy fit and suing to block it, claiming it violates “Oregon values.” What values? Harboring criminals and letting rioters torch the town?

Predictably, the black-bloc brigade caught wind and decided it was time for another “mostly peaceful” tantrum. A mob of these mostly white, woke anarcho-commies descended on the ICE facility in southwest Portland Sunday night, screaming about fascism, waving signs, and looking for heads to bash. In case you think I’m exaggerating their commie creds, they were handing out copies of the “Revolutionary Worker” rag—straight-up Marxist propaganda. (Video: [Warning: Violence, Language]

But here’s where it gets good. Portland Police showed up, and one of these masked militants assaulted an officer right off the bat, leading to a chaotic retreat as the crowd mobbed them chanting “Whose streets? Our streets!” Video:

And yeah, they’re literally communists—check the flyers they were distributing.

The crowd wasn’t all unified in their hatred, though. A brave black Trump supporter, decked out in a MAGA hat and waving an American flag, waded into the fray after seeing reporters getting surrounded. He confronted the mob head-on, calling out their hypocrisy, and miraculously, they backed off—probably because laying hands on him would’ve blown their “anti-racist” cover sky-high.

Federal officers and Portland cops weren’t playing around this time. No more kid gloves like under Biden-Harris, where these goons terrorized the city for five years with impunity. One anti-ICE protester—a hefty agitator who’d been harassing folks earlier—resisted arrest, got dragged on the ground, controlled, and hauled off like a sack of potatoes. The crowd shrieked like banshees, but it was music to any law-abiding ear. Video:

Another militant got scooped up by feds, dragged by hands and feet into custody amid the howling pack. These arrests are just the start—Trump’s making it clear: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Video:

Not every Portlander is an America-hating weirdo. Local residents are cheering Trump’s move—one guy living nearby told reporters he’s thrilled the National Guard’s coming after months of begging for help. “We have been asking for help for months,” he said, praising the prez for quashing Antifa once and for all. Under Trump, we’re finally seeing real action: secure borders, deport criminals, and crush domestic terrorists like Antifa.

No more coddling from weak-kneed Dems who let cities burn during BLM riots. This is America First in action, patriots—hundreds protested, but law and order prevailed.

The image from the scene shows Portland cops in yellow vests facing off with the masked mob, a stark reminder of the front lines these heroes hold. Pray for our troops and agents; they’re the thin blue line keeping us safe. With midterms coming, vote like your city’s on the line—because in places like Portland, it is.
