PORTLAND, OR – Five violent, far-left insurgents have been arrested by federal agents and Portland Police after a violent mob chanting, “Fuck Joe Biden” attacked the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters. So far, President Joe Biden has not made a statement to condemn this attack on a federal installation.
At about 9:08 p.m., a crowd of about 150 people walked from Elizabeth Caruthers Park to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in the 4300 block of S. Macadam Avenue. Police say the radical-left insurgents carried shields, umbrellas, ASP and PR-24 batons and picked up rocks on their way. Many of the insurgents wore gas masks and helmets. Within a few minutes of arriving insurgents began applying graffiti to the ICE building.

At about 9:45 p.m., federal officers emerged on the ICE property to move the crowd away. Federal officers dispersed to the north then took up a position about half a block away. Contact the federal authorities for details about their actions.
Portland Police circulated through the neighborhood during the next hour to find specific people in the crowd for whom there was probable cause to arrest and made arrests as they identified and located suspects. During that time the crowd dissipated a little at time. Eventually there were only a few dozen people milling about as officers finished making their last arrest.
The following people were arrested:
24-year-old Jovanni Garcia of Beaverton, OR, Assaulting a Public Safety Officer
25-year-old Justin Bowen of Portland, OR, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct II,
Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Attempt Assault of a Public Safety Officer, Reckless Endangering

22-year-old Theodore Matthee-O’Brien of Portland, Oregon, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct II
26-year-old Trevor Colter, Riot, Disorderly Conduct II, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Resisting Arrest
Also arrested was a Portland man for riot, Reckless Endangering, Disorderly Conduct II, Attempt Assault of a Public Safety Officer. A lawyer for that suspect has said charges have since been dropped.
