Homeland Security responds to 'laser tag' threats from Portland group: 'This is incredibly dangerous'
Story by Rachel Wolf • 18h
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responded to a Portland group's advertisement urging members of the public to point lasers at aircraft amid unrest over the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown.
"Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is a federal crime. This is incredibly dangerous for the aircraft personnel and for the public’s safety," DHS wrote in a post on X. "Antifa domestic terrorists WILL NOT overrun our cities. We will bust their networks and bring every one of them to justice."
The flyer is still on the front page of Rose City Counter-Info's website. The group defines itself as an "anarchist counter-info platform in so-called Portland, Oregon."
Rose City Counter-Info encouraged anyone interested in taking part to "mask up" and "coordinate with friends." Additionally, the group provided instructions on how participants can prevent law enforcement from identifying them. Rose City Counter-Info advised those participating to "be ready to dispose of the laser if you need to — wear gloves and clean it with alcohol in case you have to toss it in a hurry. Consider taking precautions to keep DNA off it as well."
