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.
@TPostMillennial BREAKING UPDATE: In a shocking unforeseeable move, the Portland judge ordered the case to be dismissed

Breaking: I am at the federal courthouse in Portland covering a pre-trial detention hearing for Julie M. Winters, an Antifa-affiliated militant charged for launching a knife attack on federal agents outside the ICE facility in Portland.
Winters, born as Christopher Hudson, has been accused of violating conditions of release. The US government is asking Winters to be held in custody until trial.
After Winters was arrested on June 24, a judge ordered his release from jail and sent him to be temporarily held in a mental detention center with the condition that he was forbidden from returning to the vicinity of the ICE facility.
Once Winters left the mental facility, he returned to his apartment which is across the street from the ICE facility, violating the court order.
Federal prosecutors say Winters is a violent threat to the community, has been making repeated threats against ICE agents since his release from custody, and must be remanded to jail.
Follow this thread for updates:
Winters entered the courtroom and yelled, "I don't want this man anywhere near me.” Speaking about her defense attorney, who he has accused of not helping him.
Winters was re-arrested last week for violating conditions and is being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center.
The federal prosecutor for the US District Attorney's Office in Oregon told the Court that Winters resisted arrest last week, resulting in five US Marshals fighting to take her into custody.
Winters assaulted at least one US Marshal while resisting arrest, the prosecutor said.
Breaking - Federal police officers arrested several Antifa militants outside the ICE facility in Portland last night, Aug. 18.
Agitators mobilized to attack the ICE facility, launching projectiles before ICE/FPS officers busted out of the gate and quashed the unlawful assembly.
The apprehended subject at the beginning of the clip is extremely violent 39-year-old Antifa militant Nick Wohlmut, who has been one of the main aggressors over the last few months at the unlawful occupation.
Wohlmut protests alongside his girlfriend, 38-year-old Angela Foster, who is another main agitator and was previously arrested by ICE/FPS.
After Wohlmut was released from custody last night, he allegedly assaulted @RheinDAmacher several times.
Amacher attempted to escape but was jumped by Wohlmut and other Antifa militants outside of a hotel.
A hotel employee witnessed the attack, which was captured on security cameras.
Breaking — Independent photojournalist Chelly Bouferrache (@hunnybadgermom) was brutally assaulted by a black bloc Antifa militant outside the ICE facility in Portland.
She was mobbed by an unruly crowd of protesters, resulting in Bouferrache deploying mace in self-defense.
The Antifa suspect then tackled her to ground and punched her repeatedly.
I captured video of the suspect throwing several punches at Bouferrache while he/she was on top of her in the bushes.
The suspect is pictured below. Please help identify him/her:
The suspect fled the scene to evade arrest with the help of Antifa/anti-ICE protesters.
I followed the suspect in an effort to prevent he/she from fleeing and was met by an unruly mob.
I persisted anyways.
The suspect ultimately escaped in a small black SUV getaway car.
Breaking: I am at the federal courthouse in Portland covering the initial hearing for Robert Jacob Hoopes, an Antifa militant who was arrested by the @FBI following a massive raid at his home on Friday.
Hoopes has been accused of launching several violent attacks on federal police officers at the ICE facility in Portland on June 14 during the "No Kings" riot.
According to an unsealed FBI affidavit, Hoopes allegedly threw a large rock at an ICE officer's head, resulting in serious bodily injury.
He was captured on surveillance video footage staging multiple rocks near the facility before throwing them at federal police officers.
Hoopes allegedly placed a motorized scooter in front of an exit door in an attempt to trap federal officers inside the ICE facility. When an officer opened the door to stop the entrapment, Hoopes allegedly threw a large rock, hitting the ICE officer in the head, according to the affidavit.
Additionally, Hoopes was captured on surveillance video using a desecrated Stop sign as a "battering ram" in an attempt to break the ICE gate. This task was done with several other Antifa militants, according to court documents and surveillance video.
Hoopes has been federally charged by the Department of Justice with assault on a federal police officer resulting in bodily harm and depredation of government property.
Hoopes was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday, June 25. FBI agents raided his home, where he lives with his girlfriend, who is also involved with the Antifa occupation at the ICE facility.
According to witness accounts, FBI agents raided his home in the early morning hours with their guns drawn. Other occupants, including Hoopes' girlfriend, were allegedly handcuffed and removed to the street wearing only undergarments after being combative with officers.
Just in — ICE SRT launched a surprise targeted arrest Friday night, capturing an infamous Antifa militant involved in the occupation outside the ICE facility in Portland.
The militant, nicknamed “Skateboard man,” was apprehended and placed in the back of a federal vehicle.
He has been a regular protester and was involved in a recent assault on a counter protester.
This is the first time I have seen federal police officers place protesters in the back of a vehicle since reporting on the occupation the past month.
I am working on finding out the details of the arrest.
“Skateboard man” recently maced @RheinDAmacher after an attempted unmasking outside the ICE facility in Portland.
Turns out his facial covering was significantly secured, resulting in a failed unmasking attempt.
I am testifying in Court today as a witness for Cloud (@Numerarch), the Portland resident who confronted Antifa and is suing the city over the illicit occupation at the ICE facility.
The lawsuit claims that Portland has failed to quell the nightly noise disturbances at the ICE facility, causing local residents persisting harm.
A couple of Antifa militants involved in the occupation are beginning to show as city witnesses.
A judge should be issuing a decision today.
Stay tuned for updates!
Now that I am done testifying as a witness, I can report on the hearing.
Cloud and another resident testified against the city earlier this morning/afternoon.
Both shared similar sentiments: they have been suffering because of the nightly noise stemming from the occupation, and have been living in fear due to Antifa outside their apt building.
