Breaking — I am covering the trial of Portland Antifa's "Super Soldier" Isabel Rosa Araujo.
Araujo has been accused of violently assaulting a female victim during an Antifa direct action in March 2024.
He is being prosecuted by the Multnomah County District Attorneys Office🧵
Araujo, 39, of Portland, was captured on video launching an unprovoked macing attack on a female counter protester at a Portland park in March 2024.
Araujo has been charged with fourth-degree assault, harassment, and unlawful use of mace.
He has a security role within Rose City Antifa that includes identifying political targets to attack.
He wears a patch on his black bloc militant uniform that reads: "Antifa Super Soldier"
He is now in Court to defend his actions, and if found guilty, faces jail time.
Araujo was taken into custody over the attack in July 2024 after Portland Police officers identified him as the assault suspect while he was participating in a separate Antifa direct action to disrupt a Christian worship event.
Araujo has a lengthy history of violence and threats throughout his tenure with Rose City Antifa.
He identifies as transgender and was born under the name Philip Vincent Haskins-Delici.
Additionally, he has a serious infatuation with weapons.
Araujo has maintained his innocence in this case.
His defense team has created a strategy to portray him as a victim of "mistaken identity" because he had been concealing his identity behind black bloc attire when he allegedly assaulted the victim.
Prosecuting the case for the state of Oregon is Deputy District Attorney Noah Berg of the Multnomah County District Attorneys Office.
Presiding over the case is Judge Adrian Lee Brown.
There are no individuals in the gallery, including members of Antifa, to support Araujo at this time.
I am covering the trial for @TPostMillennial.

Exclusive — ICE @EROSeattle agents are being doxed by an Antifa affiliated account on Instagram.
The account is sharing the identity of an undercover ICE agent who made a recent arrest in Wenatchee, Washington.
The group also started a network to interfere with ICE operations called, StopIce.net
The targeting of the ICE agent pertains to the arrest of Hugo Ramirez-Hernandez, 37, an illegal migrant from Mexico with an extensive criminal history.
He was taken into custody on March 8 in Wenatchee, Wash., according to ICE.
A spokesperson for ICE ERO Seattle said Ramirez-Hernandez was charged with assault, domestic violence, and harassment on August 28, 2024.
Breaking — Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown filed a lawsuit on Monday against Adams County for assisting ICE.
Adams County has been informing ICE when a criminal alien charged with a crime is scheduled to be released from jail so ICE can take them into federal custody.
The lawsuit accuses Adams County of violating the Keep Washington Working Act (sanctuary state statute), which prohibits jails and local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE detainers and other immigration-related matters.
On February 20, attorneys for Adams County and its sheriff notified Attorney General Brown that the county desired to assist ICE, claiming that the state's "dangerous sanctuary laws" compel them to violate federal immigration laws.
The letter was sent to the attorney general after the state of Washington notified Adams County that they would be sued for previous cooperation with ICE.
NEW: An anti-ICE group based in Los Angeles called the Community Self-Defense Coalition is training members how to interfere with ICE operations.
The group successfully disrupted two operations on Monday.
"We have patrols combing through the streets of LA looking for any ICE activity. We do this at 5:30 am because we know that's when ICE starts their operations. So, before they can go and attack our community, we are looking for them. And when we find them, we alert people with megaphones."
The Community Self-Defense Coalition said they are training anti-ICE activists in other sanctuary cities, hoping their group becomes a model across the nation.
Seattle Antifa members have advocated to bring the trainings to the Pacific Northwest.
