They're proving to be insurrectionist and treasonous, I remember making this hypothetical scenario earlier this year and what could happen if President Trump invoked the Insurrection Act.
It's becoming more possible, and it's very likely the scenario I made will become true soon.
"Following the attack of the ICE detention center in Portland by Antifa, President Trump declares Martial Law along with invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807. A State of Emergency for Oregon state is now in effect until further notice. The President federalizes the Oregon National Guard, in order to prevent any potential meddling from corrupt and incompetent state officials in doing what's necessary. Antifa is declared a Domestic Terrorist Organization not long after the declaration. George Soros is placed at the top of the FBI’s #1 Most Wanted list as are the rest of the ring leaders of Antifa nationwide. All members and leaders of said “group” are declared Domestic Terrorists, and including all members of Black Bloc. In addition, the current Portland Police Department is deemed unreliable and no longer trusted by the Department of Homeland Security.
Oregon State Police shuts down all highways and roads leading in and out of Portland as well state border lines, their presence over these areas are massively increased to patrol for any Antifa members fleeing the city to get out of the state. This is all done in conjunction with surrounding Local and County Law Enforcement Agencies within Oregon. The Oregon National Guard is activated and mobilized by President Trump without issue. Coordination is made with the Washington Air National Guard’s 194th Fighter Wing (operating F-16s) following reports of potential hostile anti-aircraft weapons stationed in the city. 249th Regiment, 102nd Civil Support Team, the 4133rd Judge Advocate General's Detachment, 234th Army Band, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Troop Command, and 821st Troop Command, of the Oregon National Guard are mobilized for immediate deployment. Special Forces of the 20th SFG are deployed and inserted via HALO into the county.
Their orders were to conduct unconventional warfare and Internal Defense, as well as either capture or if not to eliminate each Antifa member who retaliates against them. A Fireteam is sent to track down and eliminate each Antifa cell in the city while other platoons of Green Berets are to assist in combat duties. All participating military forces are equipped with MOPP Gear due to reports of chemical weapons being utilized by enemy combatants. Once all forces are ready to invade Portland, the 163rd leads the way, entering the city from the South West. USAF F-16s fly in and scout for any and all enemy activity. Several groups of soldiers of the 163rd enter via Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters. They assault several strongholds operated by Antifa. Most of their members don’t even have the opportunity to flee unopposed, as soldiers quickly swarm the buildings capture them with ease. Those that manage to effectively resist are quickly dispatched with immediate lethal force. Within the first day of entering Porland, supremacy is both gained on the ground and air. Equipped with Stryker APCs and M113 vehicles, the Army begins to push forward. More troops enter from the north and south east regions and begin to push towards the center. Nearby towns and other population centers become occupied temporarily by the Army, they are garrisoned by Military Police to enact stringent policing duties.
Counterintelligence Agents in conjunction with CID Special Agents are integrated into these towns, to prevent enemy infiltration by hostile foreign forces. Military Police also process POWs as well in the cities jails, which are used both as bases and specialized detention centers. Special Forces help train the various Militias in the region and hunt down enemy combatants. Special Forces meanwhile track down any scattered members who are fleeing. Senior leadership are killed or captured following swift furious raids just done approximately in five days after the initial invasion.
George Soros is captured as he surrenders after his bodyguards are killed in a sudden ambush and his hidden sanctuary of operation taken by Special Forces Operatives. They have eliminated all major leaders, within a span of five days or less. George Soros is taken away out of the region, to an undisclosed location for transport by US Marshals in conjunction with US Army Criminal Investigation Division Special Agents. The location is kept Top Secret, Need to Know to prevent any possible attacks or infiltration efforts to free him. Antifa in Portland rapidly begins to fall apart due to loss of all coherent leadership. Within the week, all population centers are secured and patrolled by the National Guard, and Antifa, while still a small threat, is deemed to be no longer significant as one. Most forces pull out, however Military Police and elements of Special Forces remain to secure the region alongside Oregon State Police as a new Portland Police Department is reconstructed, while Special Forces continue to hunt down the remaining disorganized anarchist forces, whom are now prone to in-fighting and without competent leadership. CID and CI hunt down spies and infiltrators.
Two weeks following the campaign, what remains of Antifa, besides a few straggler groups, are abruptly destroyed. Martial Law ends as remaining occupational military forces pull out. Until a new Police Department is raised, State Police serve as the main primary police force for the city. Both State and Federal SWAT Teams raid leftover compounds. 3 weeks following the campaign, the last remaining holdouts are raided and stragglers captured by the FBI Hostage Rescue Team. Very few harmless stragglers are left remaining. Antifa is soundly declared defeated. Lone wolf types become an inconvenience for several weeks. Most of these individuals meet their sudden end by Law Enforcement. US Marshals and FBI also ruthlessly hunt down any escaping members who managed to evade arrest. Five weeks following the campaign, it had been over a week since anything happened in terms of confrontation. Portland Antifa is declared to be completely defunct and destroyed. George Soros is tried by the Supreme Court and pleads not guilty to domestic terrorism, with intentions to harm, torture, several murders in the first degree, and countless other crimes.
He is immediately given the death penalty. The court was adjourned in less than 30 minutes. He is killed by lethal injection as flimed live on TV. Such occurs to countless other remaining Antifa leaders, but many more lesser members including some senior ones also receive prison time, mostly life sentences. Some, specifically who aren't much of a significant threat, are soon relased but with community service and are put on a federal watch list to be monitored 24/7 by authorities. By the official end of the campaign, military forces suffered little to no casualties which include wounded and KIA, most of whom were injured, while several thousand Antifa members are killed or captured in total."
George AND ALEX Soros. Alex is gonna get the wannabe evil overlord's money and shares his vision, he'll just take over and shit will continue. Seize all their assets.
There is no such thing as a sanctuary city. It is a made-up liberal fantasy. The concept directly violates federal law and by design does nothing more that harbor fugitives.
Exactly, the poetlamd gova nd their minions are not who we are supposed tonprotect. The innocent citizens even the leftarded ones are owed protecrion constitutionally. If the local gov is deficient, it must be taken over, dismantled, rebuilt and those responsible prosecuted.
Just spitballing here but: China, Israel, India, UK, Saudi Arabia... there are many out there who realized it was easier to take over our main cities one at a time than to try to wage war against the whole country. Follow the money...
It's hard to pack so much cringe into one piece of legislation, but they really did it! You gotta hand it to those Portland self-hating 'whites' they are really rolling out the red carpet to people who actually hate them and want to replace them.
ALL 12 CONCILMEMBERS VOTED 'YES' - LET THAT SINK IN!
Time to send in ICE, FBI, DOJ, and all the rest. GET EM BOYS LETS CLEAN UP PORTLAND!
The link you shared points to Resolution No. 37719, adopted by the Portland City Council on October 15, 2025 (just a week ago, as of today). Titled "Denounce any attempts to deploy the United States Armed Forces, the National Guard, or militarized Federal Immigration Enforcement in Portland and establish the Protect Portland Initiative," it's a strongly worded reaffirmation of Portland's long-standing sanctuary city status. It builds on prior policies like the 2017 Resolution 37277 and Oregon's Sanctuary Promise Act (HB 3265), while responding to recent federal actions under the Trump administration, including threats of military or ICE deployments.
Key elements include:
Denouncement of Federal Overreach: Publicly demands that the President and federal agencies (e.g., DHS, ICE, CBP, DOJ) halt any deployments of U.S. Armed Forces, National Guard, or "militarized" immigration enforcement in Portland without local consent. It cites the Posse Comitatus Act (limiting military use in domestic law enforcement) and a recent September 2, 2025, federal court ruling deeming similar National Guard use in Southern California unlawful.
Protect Portland Initiative: Creates a coordinated citywide framework to monitor federal actions, protect constitutional rights (e.g., assembly, free speech, privacy), and build community rapid-response networks. This includes designating an Immigrant Affairs Liaison, launching a multilingual public info hub ("Know Your Rights" resources), pursuing FOIA requests to expose ICE/DHS activities, and quarterly Council reports on impacts.
Limits on Local Cooperation: Prohibits Portland Police Bureau (PPB) or city personnel from assisting federal/military operations in suppressing protests, sharing personal data for immigration enforcement (except with a warrant), or participating in joint patrols/checkpoints under ICE's 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g) authority. It mandates protocols for documenting encounters with federal agents (e.g., verifying IDs, reporting potential "abductions" by unidentified agents) and bars access to non-public city spaces without judicial warrants.
Broader Advocacy: Urges federal legislation like the Preventing Authoritarian Policing Tactics on America's Streets Act and the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act. It also requires city contractors to align with sanctuary policies and provides training/outreach to protect vulnerable groups (e.g., immigrants, Black/Brown communities, low-income residents).
Rationale: Emphasizes that immigrants are a "vital portion of Portland's population and economy" and a "legacy to be honored," not a threat. It references harms from 2020 federal deployments (e.g., unidentified agents eroding trust, harming the economy) and prioritizes local control, equity, and public safety over federal mandates.
Financially, it's designed to use existing resources, though some costs (e.g., training, campaigns) are anticipated. Overall, it's a defensive posture against perceived federal escalation, framing immigration as a strength while rejecting militarized enforcement.
Federal Precedent on Such Resolutions
Portland's resolution fits squarely into the broader category of "sanctuary policies"—local laws or resolutions limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement (e.g., no data-sharing, no honoring ICE detainers without warrants, no assisting raids). These have been litigated extensively since the 1980s, especially under the Obama and Trump administrations. The core legal tension is federal supremacy in immigration (under the Supremacy Clause) versus states'/localities' autonomy under the 10th Amendment's anti-commandeering doctrine, which bars the federal government from forcing local officials to enforce federal laws.
Key Principles from Supreme Court Precedent
The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that localities can decline to cooperate with ICE without violating federal law, as long as they don't actively obstruct enforcement (e.g., hiding people or blocking federal agents). Federal agents can still operate independently. Here's a breakdown:
| Principle | Key Supreme Court Case | Ruling Summary | Relevance to Portland's Resolution |
|-----------|------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------------|
| Anti-Commandeering Doctrine | Printz v. United States (1997) | Federal government can't compel state/local officials to administer federal programs (e.g., background checks). Extended to immigration in later cases. | Portland isn't required to assist ICE deployments or share data; refusing deputization under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g) is constitutional. |
| No Federal Duty to Enforce Immigration | Arizona v. United States (2012) | Upheld federal preemption over states creating/enforcing immigration laws, but implicitly allows non-cooperation since locals aren't federal agents. | Reinforces that Portland's limits on PPB involvement don't "obstruct" ICE—federal agents handle their own enforcement. |
| Limits on Funding Conditions | South Dakota v. Dole (1987); applied in Agency for Int'l Dev. v. All. for Open Soc'y (2013) | Congress can attach conditions to federal funds, but they must be unambiguous, related to the fund's purpose, and non-coercive (can't "commandeer" via threats). | Trump's 2017 executive order withholding grants from sanctuary cities was struck down; similar 2025 efforts (e.g., EO 14287) face the same hurdles. Portland's initiative can't be punished via unrelated grants (e.g., community development). |
| No Preemption for Non-Cooperation | Murphy v. NCAA (2018) | Reaffirmed anti-commandeering: States can't be forced to enforce (or not enforce) federal policies. | Sanctuary resolutions like Portland's are "neutral" policies prioritizing local resources—courts have upheld them against preemption claims. |
Major Lower Court Cases (9th Circuit, Relevant to Oregon)
The 9th Circuit (covering Portland) has been a battleground, consistently ruling in favor of sanctuary policies:
City & County of San Francisco v. Trump (2018; appealed/expanded 2025): Blocked executive order denying federal grants to non-cooperating jurisdictions. Ruled president lacks congressional authority to withhold funds; affirmed locals can't be forced to comply with 8 U.S.C. § 1373 (info-sharing mandate).
United States v. California (2019): Upheld California's sanctuary laws (e.g., no state resources for ICE, no joint ops). Even if policies "obstruct" enforcement, they don't violate the 10th Amendment or anti-commandeering—federal claims "run directly afoul" of it.
Recent 2025 Rulings: A September 2 federal court decision (cited in the resolution) struck down National Guard use in CA immigration ops as violating Posse Comitatus. Ongoing suits (e.g., DOJ v. Chicago, filed Feb. 2025; DOJ v. Minnesota, Sept. 2025) challenge resolutions like Portland's, alleging obstruction under § 1373, but courts have dismissed similar claims, calling them "coercive" and unconstitutional. The Supreme Court declined to review California's sanctuary law in 2020, letting it stand.
Challenges and Ongoing Risks
DOJ Pushback (2025): The Trump admin has sued multiple jurisdictions (e.g., NYC July 2025, Boston Sept. 2025) and published a "Sanctuary Jurisdiction List" (Aug. 2025) under EO 14287, threatening prosecutions or funding cuts. However, courts (e.g., 2nd Circuit in New York v. DOJ, 2017/2025 appeals) have ruled § 1373 doesn't require active cooperation and can't criminalize non-cooperation.
Limits: Policies can't go too far—e.g., actively interfering (like destroying federal records) could violate 8 U.S.C. § 1324 (harboring). Portland's focuses on non-assistance, so it's safe. Studies (e.g., National Academy of Sciences, 2020) show sanctuary policies don't increase crime or block deportations of violent offenders.
Evolving Landscape: With a conservative Supreme Court, precedents could shift, but current law strongly supports Portland. Oregon's state sanctuary laws (ORS 181A.820–181A.829) provide extra backing, prohibiting local enforcement absent warrants.
In short, federal precedent overwhelmingly validates resolutions like this: They're constitutional exercises of local autonomy, not illegal obstruction. Portland's is on solid ground, but expect DOJ scrutiny—similar to 2020's federal response. If you're in Portland or affected, resources like the city's new "Protect Portland" hub could be useful.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that localities can decline to cooperate with ICE without violating federal law, as long as they don't actively obstruct enforcement (e.g., hiding people or blocking federal agents). Federal agents can still operate independently.
So sad... the criminality of those officials must be off the charts. Hope the good people of Portland realize they don't need to.live in a state that wants to be alike a criminal 3rd world country.

Venezuela is a China proxy. US MIL in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic fighting them.
Narco's are a proxy for China. US MIL off the west coast working on the cartels.
Leadership in Washington State, Oregon and California are a proxy for China/Soros.
China has just gotten cozy with VISA's for North Korean's.
Yes, we have to wait for Portland PD and City Council to push that data out and what ever follows.
:(
George AND ALEX Soros. Alex is gonna get the wannabe evil overlord's money and shares his vision, he'll just take over and shit will continue. Seize all their assets.
the level of detail and specificity
also impressive length!
Thanks I appreciate it!
The police are aiding antifa so the insurrection act would apply in Portland. Federal take over of the city and police needs to happen.
There is no such thing as a sanctuary city. It is a made-up liberal fantasy. The concept directly violates federal law and by design does nothing more that harbor fugitives.
to protect Portland?? HA HA HA!
It is the Trump administration that is trying to protect the US Citizens who reside in Portland.
Exactly, the poetlamd gova nd their minions are not who we are supposed tonprotect. The innocent citizens even the leftarded ones are owed protecrion constitutionally. If the local gov is deficient, it must be taken over, dismantled, rebuilt and those responsible prosecuted.
Just spitballing here but: China, Israel, India, UK, Saudi Arabia... there are many out there who realized it was easier to take over our main cities one at a time than to try to wage war against the whole country. Follow the money...
Sont forget theyve stockpiled billions theyve stolen from us.

Filming Feds to gather information on them? I bet this will be used to DOX the officers... which would cross a line.

With the government shutdown, some federal officers won't get paid
I don't know how far the recent response to paying them by Trump will last...
But they're planning to keep it shut, have officers not show up for lack of being paid - then stir up shit and then wake up the sleeper cells
It's all part of coup 2.0 and 3.5% color revolution. It's all they've got left.
