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.
@RheinDAmacher Individuals involved in the anti-ICE Antifa occupation appear to be emboldened following a judge’s ruling that Portland Police do not have to respond to the area.
This has paved the way for unchecked criminal acts of violence.
@RheinDAmacher Federal police officers also appear to have switched tactics within the last few days, ramping up their response to unlawful behavior.

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.
A Portland resident confronts Antifa for blaring music past midnight at the ongoing ICE facility occupation:
"I'm coming back every night and I'm breaking your sh-t. We the people need sleep. You're worse than ICE, terrorizing us every night. Go f-ck yourself."
This marks Day 21 (last night) of the occupation. I put a records request in with @PortlandPolice to find out how many noise/disturbance complaints have been made since the occupation began.
@PortlandPolice Immediately after the resident complained, Antifa increased their noise disturbance.
The group has created a makeshift LRAD system, blasting it at the ICE office around 1 am. Federal police responded so a vehicle could exit.
Happening now — Portland Antifa ICE Occupation Day 19.
Federal police officers bum rush out of the facility to arrest a subject who urinated on the driveway.
Dozens of black bloc Antifa lined up, defying orders to leave federal property.
A new supply tent has been set up across the street from the facility after the encampment was dismantled a few days prior.
I infiltrated the supply tent — Here’s what I found: riot gear including face shields and gas masks, medical supplies to treat riot wounds, camping equipment, etc.
