Antifa’s Inauguration Week Rampage: Portland’s ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Destruction

All week long, Antifa in Portland have been rampaging over President Donald Trump retaking the White House. In response to Trump’s inauguration, Antifa militants attacked an ICE facility, smashed up an elections office, and vandalized downtown Portland businesses.

However, how local media covered the multi-day uprising would have you believe it was a “mostly peaceful” protest that got a little too “intense.”

“The united calls for justice continued for hours, but then a march broke out, which led the protest to change from peaceful to intense,” FOX 12 Oregon journalist Mikhala Armstrong said in a news segment reporting on an overnight anti-Trump rally Tuesday that preceded widespread destruction of property.

“But many remained marching, making sure they would not be deterred from their goal to let their voice be heard,” the on-the-ground reporter said of the so-called “People’s Inauguration Day demonstration.”

Portland-based KGW-8, an NBC affiliate, said hundreds of rallygoers “gathered to lift each other up and prepare for the next four years.” This night was about “empowering people who need hope,” “building community,” and “coming together,” the TV station reported.

At least five Antifa riot suspects were arrested that night for criminal activity, according to a Portland Police Bureau (PPB) press release.

PPB released photos of the weapons seized and tools they used to vandalize property along the march’s route. Per photographic evidence, the mob of masked militants carried cans of bear spray, fireworks to set off, spray paint, walkie-talkies for coordination, and Antifa propaganda, including a pamphlet that read “Life without law: An introduction to anarchist politics” and a sticker that said “No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA.” Authorities found another agitprop booklet, which argued that the state is illegitimate and progress can only be achieved through violent action. Others brought paraphernalia opposing Elon Musk.

According to investigative journalist Andy Ngo, the Antifa agitators were well organized, with teams on foot and bicycles acting as onlookers and unlawfully halting traffic. Ngo said they tried to incite the mob to smash windows and start fires, as Antifa did during the George Floyd riots in 2020.


Some of the suspects left behind their belongings while trying to escape. Independent videographer Brandon Farley documented the remains, including bipolar medication, names of comrades, and strategic notes for planning purposes.


Antifa shutting down the streets of downtown Portland marked their third act of far-left violence over Trump’s inauguration.

According to Ngo, on Inauguration Day, Antifa launched an attack on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Portland to retaliate against the Trump administration’s mass deportation operations and crackdown on illegal immigration. Donning black bloc, around 15 to 20 extremists brought tinder to set on fire, squared off with Homeland Security officers guarding the federal facility, and defaced the building’s exterior.


Antifa also targeted the Multnomah County Elections Office. In an orchestrated attack, masked and hooded radicals shattered dozens of the local election center’s windows, smashed two doors with rocks, and left anti-government graffiti as well as anarchy symbols.

Antifa likes to pretend it is full of anarchists.
Really it is full of useful idiots.
Not how antifa didn’t protest joe’s admin.
Just Trump’s.
The leaders of antifa have become rich off the publicity as their useful idiots suffer injuries and arrests.

Those silly kids cutting up a little, there will be plenty of room for them in the pokey once Trump has them emptied of illegals.

Antifa should be declared terrorists and treated as such.
