As news spread that the
full 9th Circuit Court of Appeals would hear the closing arguments by the state, city, and mayor wishing to block the president of the United States of America from sending his already federalized Oregon National Guard troops to protect the ICE building and its occupants, the cop shop was ordered to, you know, do something about the terror takeover.
Look police-y, you guys!
So in the pouring rain on Saturday night, as Catherine points out here in her piece
Portland Police Finally Dismantle Antifa Encampment, the cops, with the help of Oregon State Police, told Antifa, "Hey, guys, we really mean it this time," and took the street back over and took down the encampment.
Most of the independent journalists reporting that this was the first time the encampment had been taken down were incorrect. It has been cleared multiple times, according to my source on the ground, but the newbies just haven't been there to see it. Indeed, after it was cleared out in the last couple of weeks, the terror cell resurrected it in another spot, and then moved back to its original sidewalk spot, which is a security nightmare for the ICE officers. Hence the need for the National Guard.
