🚨BREAKING: Today, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut for the District of Oregon issues a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald J Trump's federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard members for deployment to Portland.

🟥STATEMENT BY OREGON GOV. TINA KOTEK: "I believe the truth has prevailed. While this ruling is only the first step, it’s a step in the right direction. I want to thank Attorney General Rayfield and his team for great work. We would hope that President Trump respects the court decision and the rule of law.

"We would hope he reverses course. There is no insurrection in Portland. No threat to national security. The only threat we face is to our democracy — and it is being led by President Donald Trump.

"From day one, Oregon has been prepared. Our coordinated strategic response has allowed us to stand firm against a baseless and dangerous federal overreach. While the President plays politics, Oregon will stay focused on solving the real problems facing our communities.

"This ruling puts us on the right side of history. And while the fight is far from over, Oregon remains united and ready to defend our values and our rights — today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes.

"Thank you – stay calm, stay together, stay strong."

🚨DOJ LAUNCHES CIVIL RIGHTS PROBE INTO PORTLAND JOURNALIST ATTACKS AMID ESCALATING VIOLENCE

Assistant US Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon announced Friday, October 3, that the DOJ's Civil Rights Division is opening an urgent federal investigation into assaults on journalists in Portland, Oregon—including the recent attack and arrest of reporter Nick Sortor.

Dhillon, speaking after discussions with Sortor and US AG Pam Bondi, highlighted Portland's long-standing federal consent decree on police practices. The probe demands body cam footage and details on why officers have failed to intervene in multiple incidents.

With the National Guard now deployed under President Trump's directive, Dhillon vowed aggressive enforcement of First Amendment rights and an end to Antifa-linked violence.

"It's about time Portland residents felt safe," she said.

🚨PORTLAND POLICE EMAIL BOMBSHELL: JOURNALISTS "PROVOKED" THEIR OWN BEATDOWN AT ICE PROTEST

Investigative Reporter Andy Ngo's just disclosed a September 20, 2025, email from Portland Police Sgt. Andrew Braun, filed as Exhibit 46-2 in Oregon's federal lawsuit (Case 3:25-cv-01756-IM) against the Trump administration deploying Nat'l Guard to Portland ICE facility, where Portland Police Sgt. Braun attributes assaults on journalists Katie Daviscourt and Chelly Bouferracche, and activist Rhein Amacher, to their alleged provocation of protesters at a Portland ICE facility.

According to the email from Braun, he claims that journalist Katie Daviscourt, citizen journalist Chelly Bouferrache (aka hunnybadger mom), and conservative activist Rhein Amacher are responsible for being attacked by “protesters.”

He falsely labels Daviscourt and Chelly Boufferache as “counter-protesters” and accuses them of trespassing on federal property. In reality, the three stay near or on federal property because when they're on public streets in Portland, the Portland Police will not bother to investigate if they are assaulted or robbed.

🟥 ANDY NGO: "Sgt. Braun is essentially parroting Antifa talking points, which justify violence against those they deem unwelcome in public areas they lay claim to. Antifa regularly argues that anyone they label as an “antagonizer” (i.e., press) is fair game for violent retaliation."

Assistant US AG Harmeet Dhillon posted to X in response to NGO's revelation, "Exhibit B."

🚨DHS AGENTS SHOOT ARMED WOMAN INVOLVED IN 10-VEHICILE AMBUSH IN ILLINOIS

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that federal agents in Broadview, Illinois, shot an armed woman involved in an alleged 10-car ambush that rammed and boxed in DHS vehicle in the early hours of Saturday, October 4, 2025, during ICE operations.

🟥DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “Our brave men and women of law enforcement are being targeted and attacked by violent anarchists who seek to tear down America. I want each and every member of law enforcement to know this: President Trump and I have your backs. Stand with ICE as they continue to protect and defend our homeland.

“We’re going to prosecute them and bring them to justice—we’re not taking this anymore.”

🟥In a statement by DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin on toadying incident: “Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.

“The armed woman was named in a CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s f**k those mother f**kers up, don’t let them take anyone.’

“Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.

“Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd, and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.

“This is an evolving situation, and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available.”

🚨WA SOS CONDEMNS ‘HOSTILE AND VIOLENT ACTIONS’ AGAINST LGW SIGNATURE GATHERERS

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs condemns the actions by residents throughout the state who are actively engaging in behavior that “disenfranchise and inhibit eligible voters from participating in the democratic process.”

Under Washington law, it is a gross misdemeanor to interfere with the right of any voter to sign or not to sign an initiative or referendum petition. Anyone experiencing interference should reach out to their local law enforcement for assistance.

Attorney General Nick Brown announced that his office is looking into these matters.

🟥 WA SEC OF STATE STEVE HOBBS: “Hostile and violent actions have no place in the democratic process, in politics, and in our communities. These instances reiterate the necessity to protect all voters' constitutionally guaranteed rights.

“Our state experienced similar behavior in 2023 when I received reports of signature gatherers being disrupted in their efforts to collect signatures for six initiatives. In an effort to strengthen protections for citizens engaged in the initiative process, I supported a bill by former state rep Greg Cheney that prohibited certain activities within 25 feet of signature collection efforts.

“Unfortunately, the bill did not pass, but offered promise of bipartisan support in making the democratic process accessible to all participants.”

🔽BACKGROUND

Signature collection efforts by Let’s Go Washington (LGW) are being met by reports of resistance in the forms of alleged verbal harassment, physical violence, and tampering.

LGW is collecting signatures for two initiatives: IL26-001 – Strengthening communication between parents and schools; and IL26-638 – Protecting fairness in girls’ sports. The first aims to restore a parent’s bill of rights and the other barring biological boys from competing in sports competitions against biological girls.

The Washington Secretary of State posted to its page on Friday, September 26, that signature gathering is a protected right under the state constitution (Article II, Section 1 and encourages victims of intimidation to report the incident immediately to local law enforcement, as it undermines democratic participation.

Also, Washington state law protects the rights of signature gatherers and voters to participate without interference in the initiative and referendum process.
