Antifa Responds to Trump Order on Portland Troop Deployment, and Things Could Get Really Ugly

Following President Trump's announcement to increase federal forces in Portland, Oregon, where riots have been occurring outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, Antifa has planned a "direct action" for Sunday, September 28th. This situation is expected to escalate tensions further, with calls for support from Seattle and Los Angeles.

• Antifa has been designated as a domestic terrorist group by President Trump.

• Concerns are raised about whether Antifa's planned actions fall under the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows federal forces to be deployed against unlawful assemblies.

• The definition of insurrection includes violent acts against a governing authority, which some argue applies to Antifa's activities.

• The situation in Seattle, where Antifa seized an area and established a leader, highlights past violent actions attributed to the group.

As Sunday approaches, questions remain about whether the event will result in violent conflict or fizzle out. The implications of these actions could lead to significant consequences for Antifa and how federal forces are employed to restore order.
