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.

Breaking: Federal and local authorities have arrested the suspect accused of attempting to carry out an arson terror attack on the DHS/ICE office in Idaho.
Sarah Elizabeth George, 43, of Boise, allegedly staged gas cans, stole an ambulance, and intentionally crashed through the Portico Building.
George was taken into custody on federal felony charges including malicious destruction of government property by fire, with additional charges pending.
According to an FBI affidavit, on February 18, George allegedly stole an ambulance parked outside St. Luke Hospital in Canyon County.
George then made a brief stop and loaded gas cans into the ambulance, which were stashed in bushes.
Shortly after, George allegedly drove through the south entrance doors and into the lobby of the Portico Building, which leases space to DHS/ICE.
George exited the ambulance and began dumping the contents of the two gas jugs on the lobby floor, according to the affidavit.
New: An Oregon teen has been arrested for plotting to kill ICE agents in Portland.
Rayden Tanner Coleman, 18, of St. Helens, devised a plan that included following agents home, severing their heads, and taking them as trophies.
Investigators found him in possession of Molotov cocktails, surveillance equipment, tactical axes, military knives, and shovels. Coleman had also been making payments for an AR-15, according to court documents.
His roommates said that Coleman tried to recruit them to kill ICE agents and attempted to talk him out of it, but his extremism grew. They warned police about the death plot, resulting in Coleman's arrest.
Coleman, who shared his plans on Discord, admitted to the plot while under interrogation, per charging documents.
He reportedly told his roommates that he needed to kill ICE agents to prevent them from "kidnapping" people.
A judge has set his bail at $400,000—a release hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 11.
Coleman has been charged with six counts of unlawful manufacture of a destructive device, six counts of unlawful possession of a destructive device, and attempted second-degree assault.
