Breaking — Antifa militants have taken over the University of Washington campus to protest Israel.
Multiple fires have been set. Authorities have issued an order to disperse.
I am on the ground reporting for @TPostMillennial.
@TPostMillennial A group of black bloc Antifa militants are occupying the Mechanical Engineering building. The doors to the entrance are barricaded.
@TPostMillennial The fire is getting larger. No police on scene. No fire department.
This fire was set about 40 minutes ago.
@TPostMillennial The University of Washington has lost complete control of the campus.
@TPostMillennial Antifa militants are harassing local news reporters. They’re blocking news cameras with umbrellas to prevent comrades from being filmed.
@TPostMillennial Seattle Fire and Washington State Patrol have arrived on scene. The fire has been put out.
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.

Breaking: I am in Seattle covering the first major trial against the city related to the 2020 Antifa-BLM CHAZ/CHOP.
The City of Seattle is accused of negligence in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Antonio Mays Jr., a 16-year-old black teen who was shot dead inside the Antifa autonomous zone.
Seattle Police had abandoned the East Precinct to rioters, and then officers were prohibited from entering the zone— resulting in numerous cold-blooded killings during the 24 days of sustained violent anarchy.
The lawsuit claims that the city’s failure to provide adequate protection and response to violence in the CHAZ zone contributed to the death of Antonio Mays Jr.
Would the teen still be alive if SPD didn’t forfeit the precinct? Was CHAZ really a “Summer of love?”
I am covering the trial for @TPostMillennial — THREAD: 🧵
Antonio Mays Jr. was shot dead on June 29 around 3 am while driving a vehicle inside the CHAZ with his 14-year-old friend, who was shot in the head but survived.
Witnesses reported that armed protesters guarding the barricades (CHAZ security) opened fire on the vehicle.
Video footage taken directly after the shooting shows militant protesters rushing to pick up spent shell casings, tampering with the evidence:
🚨 BREAKING: DHS agents at the ICE facility in Portland notified protesters that a new policy regarding concealing identities behind facial coverings has gone into effect, starting today.
Wearing a mask on and/or near federal property is now prohibited, allowing federal agents to apprehend subjects on suspicion laws may be violated.
This law was supposed to take effect in January, but will be implanted early.
