Here’s how it works in the very blue state of Oregon: After the 100-plus riots in 2020 on behalf of fentanyl addict and felon George Floyd, the Oregon legislature passed 22 bills related to police reform. Among them: Making it harder to arrest someone for interfering with a police officer.
This change came after Kristina Narayan, legislative director for then-House Speaker Tina Kotek (now governor), was arrested for participating in an anti-police protest in which Molotov cocktails were thrown at cops. Narayan was arrested but never prosecuted.
Minneapolis and Portland are soulmates. It wasn't surprising when Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reached out to Portlanders this week and asked them to join in the riots against ICE. (It also takes some attention away from Walz's fraud scandals.)
This is the 2020 riot playbook, dusted off and reissued. Provoke law enforcement. Film the outcome. Lie about the cause. Then demand “retribution.” When activists use cars as battering rams and mobs as shields, the goal isn’t protest—it’s escalation. The far left understands something the press refuses to say: disorder is leverage. Minneapolis isn’t an accident. It’s a test case. The same networks, the same slogans, the same manufactured outrage cycle. And once again, politicians and media figures rush to sanctify recklessness as resistance. A republic cannot survive if violence is rebranded as virtue and enforcement as oppression. That road always ends the same way—burned cities and broken trust.
Sadly for the ICE officer whose life will be ruined. Sadly for the little boy left behind by a foolish and reckless mother who had no business whatsoever trying to block law enforcement from doing their lawful duties. Protest lawfully? Fine. Obstruction not.
Isn’t it a given in America that interfering with law enforcement is criminal, and probable cause for arrest?

Portland progressives responded like sheep.
And now there are two Trendeagua illegal gang members in the hospital in Portland, attempting to hit an ICE officer in their car.
