After 37 days of violent antifa & BLM protests and a mild response from Portland Police & the city, scores of federal police and what looks like military stand outside to protect the federal courthouse. Last night, the building was attacked w/mortars.
In the presence of a strong police and military force not hampered by local weak leadership, antifa have not dared to attack the Portland federal courthouse tonight. This is the most restrained I’ve seen them behave after weeks of violence & extremism.
Correction: There were no U.S. military soldiers protecting the federal courthouse in Portland last night. Rather, they were agents with U.S. Marshals, ICE, Homeland Security Investigations & other agencies.
