Portland police under investigation for aiding and abetting Antifa attacks on ICE agents

The Portland Police Bureau is under investigation for allowing Antifa terrorists to violently attack U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees.

According to a cease-and-desist letter written by The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, police in Portland refused to respond to at least two 911 emergency calls from ICE agents when they were under attack from Antifa protestors in June.

“Your current policy forbidding Portland law enforcement agencies from assisting employees of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency who request law enforcement assistance while at or away from work is a violation of the United States Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause,” the letter alleges.

Dailycaller.com reports: Demonstrators, some affiliated with the domestic terrorist organization Antifa, set up a city of tents outside the ICE offices. After setting up camp, they became violent and incited violence several times.

“Every person in law enforcement knows there are few things as dangerous or as unpredictable than an angry mob,”said Chris Crane, president of the national union, WWeek reported Monday. “No one could have responded quickly enough to protect our employees who were trapped inside this building. All of this because the Mayor of Portland has a beef with the president of the United States.”

The activists were able to get the government to shut down the Portland ICE offices June 20, but were able to return to work July 3, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

The Occupy ICE camp was officially shut down July 25, after more than a month of demonstrations. They infected the area so much, the mayor called it a biohazard.

The activists were there protesting President Donald Trump’s enforcement of current immigration laws, many of which were in place since former President Barak Obama was in office.

“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,” their lawyer, Sean Riddell, says in the letter. “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,” the ICE union pleads in the letter to the mayor. “We would like to avoid federal litigation, but we are prepared to protect our membership and their families.”

Portland police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

  1. The cop on the beat has long ago been replaced by scaredy cats who only arrive when the shooting is done for clean up. No better, actually far worse, than janitors. Not to mention often psychopaths only armed with guns and badges.
    From looking up to them at age 5 to holding them in contempt at age 11 having watched 3 of them beat the crap out of a mumbling, stumbling drunk.
    The Western World has become a festering sore from the lowest officer to the highest in office. Money talks, bullshit walks and the poor get poorer.
    Watch out, when the poor call out for mercy, and they are answered by the power on high, there will be HELL to pay.
