Portland Journalist Assaulted by Antifa-Affiliated Protester Amid Police Inaction

Katie Daviscourt, a journalist from the Post Millennial, reported being assaulted by a masked "Antifa-affiliated protester" during protests outside an ICE facility in Portland, resulting in a black eye. She described the area as lawless and claimed that several blocks are controlled by Antifa protesters who harass and threaten journalists, residents, and ICE agents, with local police allegedly refusing to intervene or make arrests despite her attempts to identify the suspect. Daviscourt appeared on Fox News and other outlets emphasizing the failure of Portland police to maintain order and calling for federal intervention, with support for the Trump administration's deployment of federal troops to restore law and order. The Portland Police Department disputed claims that they refused to act, stating that officers attempted to engage the suspect. President Donald Trump has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and directed federal agencies to investigate and disrupt political violence tied to such groups. This incident has been cited by right-wing media to underscore concerns about ongoing unrest and the need for stronger law enforcement responses in Portland.
