Leavitt said the incident on Thursday was not peaceful protesting. Rather, she said, it is "left-wing anarchy" that has been destroying the city for years, leaving police officers battered, citizens terrorized, and businesses damaged.

"The Portland police made a major error here.
"Conservative journalist Nick Sortor who has amassed a large following on X, was arrested while reporting on the protests outside a ICE facility in Portland.
"Sortor who has captured ANTIFA militants acting violent outside of the facility was charged with disorderly conduct.
"According to Fox News Bill Melugin, Sortor was arrested after taking an American flag that was set on fire by members of ANTIFA and proceeded to put out the flames.
"Fox News was the first to report on Sortor’s arrest:"
Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was captured on video being taken into custody in Portland, Oregon, during another night of chaotic protests outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
The arrest came after the Portland Police Bureau said it was “monitoring the protest during the evening and observed some protest participants engaging in fights.” Sortor was charged with disorderly conduct in the second degree.
“This was as big of a surprise to me as it was to everybody else. All of a sudden, you know, I’m being jumped by Antifa thugs,” Sortor told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin following his release. “I get back up, I stumble away and go back toward cops where I think, you know, at least, all right, well, maybe that’ll be a safer place for me to go… never suspected that I was going to be the target of the arrest, that they were coming in to me.”
. . . Assistant AG Dhillon also had a message for Portland PD.
“Portland: it’s FO time. Buckle up,” she posted on X.
“ 'Nick and I have spoken, as have @AGPamBondi and I. This is a high priority for @CivilRights. About damn time Portland took the law seriously,” Dhillon added." . . .
