Trump Says He Will Designate Antifa Foreign Terror Org During Meeting with Independent Journalists Posobiec, Sortor

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would designate Antifa a foreign terrorist organization after a roundtable on the far-left extremist group with independent journalists,  Jack Posobiec, Nick Sortor, and others who have delivered tremendous on-the-ground reporting on Antifa.

While fielding questions from members of the press pool observing the roundtable, one reporter asked Trump if he would designate Antifa, which he has labeled a domestic terrorist group, as a foreign terrorist group.

“Well, has that been done? Pretty close, right? Would you like to see it done,” Trump asked, to which Posibeic immediately responded, “Yes, Mr. President.”

“They have foreign links all across Western Europe, the Middle East,” Posoibec added.

Trump added he would like to take such action, telling Secretary of State Marco Rubio, “We’ll take care of it.”

When Trump conferred with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Miller signed on.

“Yes, it’s true. There are extensive foreign ties, and I think that would be a very valid step to take,” Miller said.

Trump invited both Sortor, who Portland police arrested last week while he covered Antifa at an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest, and Posobiec to speak during the roundtable.

Sortor brought an American flag he saved from radicals who set it ablaze in the Portland street and displayed it before Cabinet officials and reporters in the room.

President Trump Suggests that Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker May Face Criminal Charges – DHS Sec Kristi Noem Reveals that Portland Police Were Cheering on Antifa’s Calls for Violence with Their “Fists in the Air”, Says Officials Should be Prosecuted

President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called for the prosecution of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for perpetuating attacks against law enforcement on Wednesday during a “Roundtable on ANTIFA” at the White House.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal officers from CBP and ICE were recently ambushed by a convoy of roughly ten vehicles in what officials described as a “coordinated assault” by domestic extremists against law enforcement.

Chicago police, however, were explicitly ordered to stand down and ignore the distress calls from federal agents.

“The governor knew about it, the mayor knew about it,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday, while suggesting criminality.

Trump called for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker to be jailed on Truth Social this morning, stating, “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!“

After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, This State Is Launching an Undercover War on Antifa

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Tuesday that he is launching an undercover operation to “infiltrate and uproot leftist terror cells” in the Lone Star State.

The announcement comes after a flurry of Antifa activity in the state — especially against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

In a press release, Paxton’s office indicated that the undercover operation is a response “to the political assassination of national hero Charlie Kirk and the disturbing rise of leftist violence across the country.”

“Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people,” Paxton said. “The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming.”

President Donald Trump, in September, signed an executive order labeling Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization because of its violent activities. This came just after Kirk’s assassination. Paxton indicated that the operation is “building on President Trump’s bold actions.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Threatens Democrat Mayor and Police Chief Face-to-Face She’ll QUADRUPLE Federal Agents If They Don’t IMMEDIATELY Crush Antifa Outside ICE Facility

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem delivered a blistering ultimatum to Portland’s Democrat Mayor, demanding immediate action to rein in the violent Antifa mobs besieging the city’s ICE facility, or face a surge of federal agents.

“No more political games,” Noem told Jesse Watters, describing a meeting with local law enforcement and the mayor in which she demanded a bigger buffer zone, open streets, and concrete security measures so officers and nearby residents could be safe to come and go.

When she says the mayor failed to give her the commitment she expected, Noem told Watters she warned him she would “cover him up with more federal resources”, specifically, four times the current federal presence, if Portland didn’t act.

She said federal CBP and ICE officers have been doing the heavy lifting to remove violent offenders and keep the facility safe — while city leaders have been “playing politics.”

Noem made clear she’s tired of local officials prioritizing optics over public safety.

DOJ Opens Investigation Into Antifa-Indulging Portland Police

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon sent a message Friday to the anarchist-abetting Portland Police Bureau (PPB) and Portland’s leftist city attorney: unlawful policing will not be tolerated.

Dhillon, who heads up the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said her office has launched an investigation into Portland law enforcement after Antifa thugs allegedly attacked independent reporters during increasingly violent riots at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility in South Portland.

Police arrested Nick Sortor on Thursday on disorderly conduct charges following an altercation with the leftist protesters. Earlier this week, Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt said she was assaulted with a flagpole while covering the nightly mayhem at the ICE building.

In her letter to Portland Police Chief Bob Day and City Attorney Robert Taylor, Dhillon demands answers about the Portland Police Bureau’s handling of the incidents, specifically the “use of its policing powers in a manner that may be based on viewpoint discrimination.” It also suggests that the city may not be living up to its agreement with the Justice Department to cease activity that “deprives individuals of rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution or federal law.”

On Friday afternoon, Dhillon posted on X that the Civil Rights Division, at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, launched the probe into Portland’s “highly questionable police practices.” 

“We will not leave the people of Portland at the whims of criminals and woke cops. Govern yourselves accordingly!” the assistant AG vowed.

Portland Police Bureau Blames Conservative Journalist for Being Attacked by Antifa, Claims She ‘Instigated’ by Simply Being There

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has come under fire for defaming a conservative journalist who was viciously assaulted by Antifa militants, claiming that she “instigated” the assault by simply being there.

Katie Daviscourt, a staff reporter for The Post Millennial, was labeled a “counter-protester” in an internal police report that suggested she and others deliberately antagonized protesters, leading to their own assaults.

Earlier this week, Daviscourt was bashed in the face by a female masked Antifa militant with a flag pole and left with a black eye. Police refused to arrest the assailant after she fled into a nearby “safehouse” for the extremist activists.

The report, authored by PPB Sgt. Andrew Braun, described Daviscourt, along with The Post Millennial contributor Chelly Bouferrache and conservative activist Rhein Amacher, as chronic instigators at the ICE protests. All three of them have been the victims of violent assaults by leftist lunatics.

Braun’s statement claimed:

“These 3 counter-protesters continue to be a chronic source of police and medical calls at ICE. Despite repeated advice from officers to stay away from the ICE crowd, they constantly return and antagonize the protesters until they are assaulted or pepper sprayed. They refuse or are reluctant to walk away from these confrontations, even when police are in the area trying to meet with them. They even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters. Aside from the confrontation between opposing protesters, there was no reported activity around ICE that would have otherwise generated a police response.”

The Post Millennial responded, writing, “Daviscourt has been diligently reporting on the protest and riot activity for months, recording her work both in The Post Millennial and on X for all the world to see while local legacy media stayed away for safety reasons. On Sept. 30, the world saw another report from Daviscourt, but this one ended with a concussion and an eye hemorrhage. She was reporting outside the facility when a woman swung a flagpole at her, bashing her in the face.”

Antifa-Aligned DEMOCRAT Charged With ASSAULTING Federal Officer Outside ICE Facility

Federal prosecutors announced this week that a Portland woman with ties to Antifa—a newly designated terrorist organization—has been charged with felony assault after striking a federal officer during an encounter at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, 39-year-old Katherine Meagan Vogel was arrested on September 30, 2025, after she vandalized federal property by pouring red paint across the driveway of the ICE facility. 

Federal officers detained Vogel and escorted her inside the facility for questioning about the vandalism, which constituted depredation of government property.

While officers processed her, Vogel escalated the situation into violence. Court filings state that she struck a federal officer in the jaw with a closed fist. 

The assault led to her immediate arrest on an additional felony charge of assaulting a federal officer. Under federal law, the charge carries a penalty of up to eight years in prison.

“Violence and property damage at the ICE building or any other federal building will not be tolerated. 

If you assault a federal law enforcement officer or damage federal property, you will be arrested and federally prosecuted,” said U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford in a public statement.

Vogel made her first appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge the following day. 

She was released under court-imposed conditions pending further proceedings.

Prosecutors emphasized that a criminal complaint is an allegation and Vogel is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The case highlights a broader trend of organized hostility toward immigration enforcement in Portland.

Pam Bondi Orders FULL INVESTIGATION into Nick Sortor’s Unjust Arrest in Portland – Investigation Will Be Led By No-Nonsense Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon

The Trump Administration is taking action following the arrest of one of the most prominent conservative journalists in America.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Portland Police arrested Sortor on Thursday night after he defended himself from Antifa thugs. The woman who attacked him was not arrested.

X user Mark Wilson shared a clip showing Sortor being led away in handcuffs. “Portland PD arrested a journalist, but none of the domestic terrorists,” he wrote.

Sortor explained to Fox News’s Bill Melugin that he was getting video of Antifa fascists crying after getting maced by federal agents. Then, the agitators swarmed him, shoved him down into a flower bed, and someone threw a punch.

Sortor responded by swinging back but missing. He then disengaged and walked over to a group of Portland PD.

The police, though, responded by arresting him and charging him with disorderly conduct.

Now, Sortor has revealed that the Portland Police are about to find out.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed to Sortor that she has ordered a full investigation into Sortor’s ridiculous arrest. No-nonsense Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon will lead the investigation.

“BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi has ORDERED a full investigation, led by Asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon, of the Portland Police Bureau, following my wrongful arrest last night, Bondi confirmed to me,” Sortor wrote.

“FAFO, @PortlandPolice,” he added.” @AGPamBondi personally called me to deliver this news, and I’m incredibly grateful to her for doing so.”

“The Trump DOJ WILL NOT allow Portland Police to continue to do the bidding of Antifa.”

Trans Democrat Attacked ICE Agents. Now She’s Asking the Public for Bail Donations.

A Portland transgender activist pleaded guilty this week to felony charges after attempting to intimidate federal immigration officers with a knife and later resisting arrest. 

Despite the serious nature of the crimes, the defendant has now turned to crowdfunding to solicit donations for bail.

Julie Winters, 47, of Portland, admitted in federal court to one count of Felony Intimidation of a Federal Officer and one count of Resisting Arrest. 

According to court documents, on June 24, 2025, Winters confronted officers at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland armed with a large knife. 

Prosecutors stated Winters swung the weapon back and forth in an effort to scare off officers who were attempting to engage with her. The incident was treated as a direct threat to federal law enforcement personnel.

Following the June confrontation, Winters was released on pretrial conditions. However, she violated those terms just weeks later. 

On August 20, 2025, she appeared at the Pretrial Services Office in Portland, where U.S. Marshals attempted to arrest her on a federal warrant. 

Court records show she resisted by making “forcible contact” with deputy marshals during the arrest attempt. 

The defendant was subdued and taken into custody without serious injuries reported.

FAFO: Karoline Leavitt says President Trump is Planning to Cut Federal Funding to Portland Amid Violence From “Leftwing Domestic Terrorists” – “We Will Not Fund States That Allow Anarchy”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday addressed the incident in Portland, Oregon, where Republican journalist Nick Sortor was swarmed and attacked by Antifa thugs, then arrested by Portland police. 

The Gateway Pundit reported on the incident, which is now under investigation by the Department of Justice.

“Portland: it’s FO [Find Out] time. Buckle up,” Assistant Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who will lead the investigation, said in an X post.

Leavitt announced to reporters on Friday that not only has the Portland Police Department come into the DOJ’s crosshairs, but President Trump is now taking steps to cut federal aid to the city, citing the lawlessness in the streets.

“Since June alone,” she said, “radical left-wing lunatics have violently breached the ICE facility by using a stop sign as a battering ram, hurled explosives and other projectiles at law enforcement, repeatedly assault and dox officers, berate their law-abiding neighbors, and have even rolled out a guillotine in front of the ICE facility.”

In addition to cutting funding, “there will also be an additional surge of federal resources to Portland immediately, including enhanced CBP and ICE resources. Law and order will prevail, and President Trump will make sure of it,” Leavitt said.
