Trump rightly defies judge to protect ICE agents – Latest News
A federal judge on Saturday issued a momentary restraining order blocking President Trump from sending Oregon’s National Guard to Portland to defend federal agents from violent assaults by black bloc militants who encompass the ICE facility each night time.
Obama-appointed District Judge Michael Simon was satisfied by legal professionals for Oregon State that the assaults had been peaceable.
This flies within the face of footage from Fox News and “citizen journalists” chronicling violence each night time as Antifa mobs hurl rocks at federal agents and their automobiles, assault journalists, and block site visitors whereas Portland police stand by.
In truth, Portland police are doing more than nothing: they’ve been filmed actively gathering complaints from Antifa thugs who declare they had been maced or roughed up by federal agents.
When referred to as for backup, these faux cops reply that they “don’t have the resources,” in accordance to court docket paperwork tendered within the State of Oregon’s lawsuit.
After “citizen journalist” Katie Daviscourt was given a black eye by an Antifa sort who attacked her with a flagpole final week, Portland police ignored her entreaties to arrest her assailant.
But the following night time, they arrested her colleague Nick Sortor and charged him with disorderly conduct after he received into a one-sided scuffle with an aggressive group of black bloc militants who pushed him to the ground and broke his digital camera.

After spending the night time in a cell, Sortor informed Fox News that the Portland jail was “weirdly empty as a result of they don’t truly arrest criminals round right here, simply people like me that report on what’s truly taking place on the ground…
“If what I was doing was disorderly, what do you call people with megaphones at three in the morning lighting fires in the middle of the street?”
Under orders from the Democrats who run the town, there’s no query that Portland cops are taking sides towards the federal authorities, whilst Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has revealed that her officers are being threatened with doxing campaigns and even $10,000 bounties to kill them.
This is why President Trump ordered troops into Portland. He has now bypassed Judge Simon’s ruling by deploying California National Guard troops as an alternative, solely to immediate yet one more Democrat lawsuit, this time from Governor Gavin Newsom.
It shouldn’t be this difficult for the president to do the job the American people voted him in to do.
