ICE Facility Left Exposed In Portland While Calls for Protection Are Ignored
by: Pat Droney 2025-10-11 Source: Law Enforcement Today Editorial
 
PORTLAND, OR- At a time when the Portland police union has come out supporting President Trump’s offer of federal help to assist besieged Portland officers, city leaders have ordered a cordon in the area near South Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building removed, despite demands from the federal government for the city to erect a more permanent barrier around the facility, Oregon Live reports.

Portland’s far-left mayor, Keith Wilson, on Wednesday ordered the removal after some members of Portland’s city council complained that keeping the area cordoned off “could inflame protesters” and city residents. Bear in mind that downtown Portland has been virtually under siege since the overdose death of George Floyd in 2020, with hilariously named Antifa rioters conducting violent riots throughout the city.
 
Wilson said the barriers could “intensify” the nightly demonstrations that have taken place for months (years) outside the federal building. Portland's "peaceful" riots in June 2025:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
