"Portland has been occupied by antifa for quite some time, Jennings began. You guys keep calling them protests. These aren't protests, these are violent people. They're attacking law enforcement, they're attacking federal facilities. The president of the United States has every obligation to defend federal facilities and federal personnel thereit's a disgrace that we have an American city that is essentially being occupied by left-wing radicals and the locals won't do anything about it."
"PHILLIP: The situation by local officials have been described as something that's essentially happening in one city block of Portland. JENNINGS: They're assaulting ICE facilities. PHILLIP: Portland is a city. And it's not a perfect city, but it is a city. And something that's occurring on one city block, Portland is suddenly Portland is war ravaged. JENNINGS: Do you dispute that they've attacked the ICE facilities?"
Portland police arrested two people at a protest outside the ICE facility for allegedly blocking the street from vehicles passing through. A conservative pundit asserted that antifa has occupied Portland and that protesters are attacking law enforcement and federal facilities, calling the situation a disgrace. A CNN host characterized that description as an exaggeration and noted reports that the incidents are largely confined to one city block. Debate centered on whether attacks on ICE and federal facilities amount to Portland being “war ravaged” and on law enforcement responsibility to handle violent protests.
