Portland’s Surrender To Antifa Makes Federal Action Necessary
President Trump’s decision to honor Secretary Kristi Noem’s request for federal and National Guard troops to defend federal facilities in Portland is not merely permissible, it is obligatory under the Constitution and the Insurrection Act.For over 100 nights, federal buildings and employees in Portland have been targeted by antifa-aligned insurgents who openly declare the federal government to be an enemy that must be toppled.

The First Amendment protects “peaceable assembly,” not violence or obstruction. Federal laws, 18 U.S.C. § 2101 and § 231, criminalize rioting and obstructing officers. Masked protesters forming shield walls and launching fireworks at agents violate these statutes.
