Troops Deployed To Guard Portland ICE Facility After Antifa Terror Tag; Whistleblower Describes Violent Pressure Inside

A self-identified former Antifa member told Fox News he quit after years of internal pressure and accelerationist tactics that pushed toward violent direct action. The interview comes shortly after President Trump’s designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization and his announcement of troop deployments to Portland to protect ICE facilities. The federal escalation includes federalizing Oregon National Guard units amid ongoing demonstrations near the South Portland ICE building. Local officials have criticized the deployment as unnecessary while federal agencies cite threats to the facility.
