The cancer continues to metastasize from California up the Left Coast. Following the riots against the enforcement of immigration law in Los Angeles, here’s what it looks like outside an ICE facility in the liberal stronghold Portland:

Antifa moonbats have been egged on to engage in direct action:

In Portland, that “direct action” has resulted in besieging the ICE facility located on the south side by the Willamette River. …

The entire public entrance for the ICE location is now boarded up to prevent further damage. Graffiti calling for the death of federal agents and President Donald Trump covers the walls.

The most basic duties of the government are not to redistribute wealth but to defend the border and to utilize a monopoly on force to maintain public order.

On Thursday, Antifa activists gathered at Elizabeth Caruthers Park before marching a few blocks to their target. The crowd gathered on the driveway, blocking federal vehicles from entering or leaving. The Federal Protective Service announced multiple times that if the crowd did not move, they would be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions. The rioters booed and jeered at each announcement.

Portland police officers on bicycles and squad cars passed by the scene a few times but did not intervene.

Finally tear gas, flash-bangs, and pepper balls sent the Antifa goons scuttling back to their crevices. But they’ll be back.

If leftist violence continues to escalate, those tasked with defending civilization will eventually have to get serious. As Hillaire Belloc might put it, we have got the Maxim gun and they do not.
