Daily Caller: Portland, Oregon, police refused to respond to at least two 911 emergency calls from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees inside their offices where violent protesters held week-long demonstrations.
The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, a union representing ICE employees, wrote a cease-and-desist letter to Mayor Ted Wheeler, asking him to ensure the police enforce the law equally and protect innocent people.
“Your current policy forbidding Portland law enforcement agencies from assisting employees of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency who request law enforcement assistance while at or away from work is a violation of the United States Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause,” the letter says.
Demonstrators, some affiliated with the domestic terrorist organization Antifa, set up a city of tents outside the ICE offices. After setting up camp, they became violent and incited violence several times.
“Every person in law enforcement knows there are few things as dangerous or as unpredictable than an angry mob,”said Chris Crane, president of the national union, WWeek reported Monday. “No one could have responded quickly enough to protect our employees who were trapped inside this building. All of this because the Mayor of Portland has a beef with the president of the United States.”
The activists were able to get the government to shut down the Portland ICE offices June 20, but were able to return to work July 3, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
The Occupy ICE camp was officially shut down July 25, after more than a month of demonstrations. They infected the area so much, the mayor called it a biohazard. MORE
Aren’t Ice agents armed?
it sounds like the DOJ should invade Portland and other so called sanctuary cities. Any city government that continues to defy the enforcement of long established federal laws needs to be held liable for their crimes and disbanded with prompt replacement elections to follow. Hopefully the electors of these liberally run shitholes will have a little more common sense than their mayors or councils. The longer Sessions delays addressing this problem the worse it will become. I would imagine that stirring the pot this close to midterms is not politically advisable, but it is necessary. It’s not like the west coast is likely to elect a swarm of conservatives.
Oregon. A troubled place for troubled people. A man named Mark Roberts is running for US Congress in that state. Mark went on Twitter yesterday calling Melania Trump a pay-by-the-hour Pro. Twitter yawned. Mark will win the seat.
Previous presidents sent troops to enforce federal law and protect citizens. This situation seems to call for such action.
The Mayor, Ted Wheeler, is also a virtue signaling Leftist. In his role, he is the Head of Police, but has total disdain for the police force.
This is from a city that hires a Police Chief because she represents a certain demographic that needs to be represented by the SJW’s at a cost about equal to the pay for Mike Pence.
Portland will possibly implode this Saturday, August 4th when Joey Gibson and Antifa square off at the waterfront park (possibly with guns this time).
Probably for the best that the Portland cops stayed on their stools at the donut shop. A bunch of squat, dyke cops are not going to be much help to anyone.
Where are the WATER CANNONS that the UK and Europe use???
Bout time we get them here in the US
Liberals are an embarrassment to humanity and I’m embarrassed to be an Oregonian.
Wheeler belongs in jail. HE should personally have to pay civil damages, not the tax payers.
There are many places in the US that I have not had the opportunity to see. Many of those places were west coast places. Each week, my list gets smaller and smaller.
I will NOT take the lovely Mrs Chiggerbug into or around any area that I know may have a strong potential for trouble.
The lovely Mrs Chiggerbug also insists that we NOT go to places where my little friend is not welcome. I totally support her in that 🙂
Their ideal scenario is to disarm you and turn their backs as a rabid crowd of leftists tear you to shreds.
@potstirrer – water cannons might slow them down, add soap to the water and those dirty commies will run away.

Yeah. I’m sure an American military “regime change” will abide by “free and democratic” elections. Before withdrawing. It’s happened, before. In, ah… wait a minute… Goolag’s still thinking.

Previous presidents sent troops to enforce federal law and suppress citizens.
TFIFY
@Meyou: Mark Roberts is an independent candidate for Oregon’s 4th district, NOT U.S. Senate. 4th district Representative is Republican Greg Walden who is right/center. He should win re-election handily, unless we have had too great an influx of Californians. Side note: Greg Walden was instrumental in getting President Trump to pardon the Hammonds.
conditions that can be used to authorize the use of federal troops on US territory. Pay attention to 10 US C333. Full site below
2-9. Laws passed by the U.S. congress include four exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act. With the first three laws discussed below (10 USC 331–333) there is a prerequisite that the President must take personal action, including the issuance of a proclamation calling upon insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably within a limited time. The four exceptions, based on law are—
10 USC 331. When a state is unable to control domestic violence and they have requested federal assistance, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 332. When ordinary enforcement means are unworkable due to unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States, use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 333. When a state cannot or will not protect the constitutional rights of the citizens, due to domestic violence or conspiracy to hinder execution of State or Federal law, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
House Joint Resolution 1292. This resolution directs all departments of the U.S. government, upon request of the Secret Service, to assist in carrying out its statutory duties to protect government officials and major political candidates from physical harm.

that Police are conservative is a liberal lie. there have been dozens of time the last 60 years where police either helped leftist thugs or did not stop their crimes. GWB’s buddy Leon is going to get to see his city’s “finest” defend their actions/inactions relating to progressive thugs attacking conservatives – THANKS TO THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT? I truly am shocked, not just saying. I agree with the court – this time. 53 years ago when they said the Berkley could not be forced to defend their actins in court (relating to Mario and his FUCK goons)I was against their ruling
For those not paying attention Bush’s buddy Leon(who has never denied being a Dem) is from SJ, heart of Sili Valley.
