🚨 The inevitable happened last night— I have been reporting on this Portland wheelchair faker for months.

Antifa uses tactics that involves putting “disabled” people on the frontlines to make it appear police officers are abusing them/using excessive force.

I have captured this wheelchair bound Antifa militant walking around outside the ICE facility several times.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Exclusive — Federal law enforcement sources told me that one of the rioters arrested Tuesday night is facing aggravated assault on law enforcement charges for throwing a machete at an officer.

This occurred during Day 17 of the ongoing Antifa siege at the Portland ICE facility, where criminal acts of violence increases by the hour, particular against law enforcement officers. I have recorded more than 10 new arrests since Saturday, which have not yet been reported by the DOJ.

I expect a new round of charges coming soon.
