LOOKIT: Portland Rioter Gets Arrested But the Best Part Was Video Of Him Being Detained

ByP

With the Oregon National Guard expected to deploy to Portland later this week, protests outside the city’s ICE facility have persisted. Officials report that these demonstrations often involve loud disturbances and projectiles, frustrating both local residents and federal personnel.

Critics argue that Portland’s ongoing unrest reflects failed Democratic leadership at the city and state levels. They claim that while local officials have hesitated, federal law enforcement has taken the lead in restoring order.

One alarming incident involved a protester allegedly aiming lasers at Blackhawk helicopters, potentially endangering pilots and people on the ground. Authorities later discovered the suspect was in the U.S. illegally, along with three others found at his residence. All four are now facing deportation proceedings.

Federal officials cited the case as proof of the dangers posed by violent agitators posing as protesters. They emphasized that such actions go far beyond peaceful demonstration and cross into criminal territory.

Another notable arrest occurred when a protester reportedly threw red paint on the ICE building. Federal agents detained the suspect shortly afterward.

Video of the arrest shows the individual visibly shaken and trembling once in custody—a stark contrast to his earlier aggressive behavior toward officers. Commentators online framed it as a moment of accountability.

Footage shared by TPUSA contributor Savannah Hernandez from the night before shows the same man acting defiantly and taunting officers. Later clips of multiple protesters being detained by ICE agents circulated widely, drawing support from viewers who praised law enforcement’s response.
