A recent confrontation in Portland has highlighted the intense friction between local residents and members of Antifa, particularly in the context of ongoing protests against ICE. A determined woman, visibly weary of the disturbances caused by these protests, took it upon herself to voice her frustrations directly to the demonstrators.
Utilizing a cane for mobility, this resident expressed her exasperation, asserting that the protesters were “worse than ICE.” In a spirited exchange that included a fair share of expletives, she demonstrated an admirable willingness to confront what many see as an ongoing disruption to community life.
RedState offers a detailed overview:
Portland has been grappling with the presence of Antifa for quite some time, as they mobilize against ICE by occupying spaces around the agency’s facilities. Unfortunately, this has resulted in significant disturbances for local residents who are kept awake by the noise and chaos that ensues.
Frustrated by the situation, a disabled black woman decided to confront the protesters directly.
*LANGUAGE WARNING*
As she stepped out to demand a reduction in noise at midnight—a time when many are trying to sleep—the initial reactions from Antifa were cautious, likely due to her disability and race. However, as the confrontation escalated, they shifted from a position of restraint to one of hostility, hurling insults back at her.
Watch the full interaction below:

Following the incident, the woman tweeted:
When I called 911 last night, the operator said other residents had also reported this terrorism. I ask you and your readers to please apply whatever pressure you can, we need the National Guard here at the Portland ICE center, we the people need help!

This confrontation raises broader questions about the balance between protest and community peace. Perhaps it’s time for a fresh perspective in Portland’s leadership—after all, anyone willing to confront chaos in the name of community well-being might just be a candidate worth considering.
