KATU News started a 24 hour livestream of the Portland ICE facility so you can see whats happening. Here’s the message from KATU, and the link to watch below:
“Our aim is to show the public everything we see. We want to give our viewers the opportunity to watch what is happening; to see for yourself and draw your own conclusions on whether or not federal intervention is warranted.

BREAKING: Nobel Prize Committee SNUBS Trump and PUBLICLY CALLS HIM OUT!
It’s no secret that Donald Trump really, really, really, really, really wants a Nobel Peace Prize, because he’s jealous that Obama has one. Just yesterday, Trump whined about it in the Oval Office, saying "He got it for doing nothing. He didn't even know what he got it for.” His team and supporters have been heavily lobbying the Nobel Prize Committee to get him one for, what, exactly, is unclear. The seven wars he DIDN’T end? Who knows.
Anyway, he’s not going to get one, LOL. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring democracy back to Venezuela, celebrated as a woman“who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”
“In the past year, Ms. Machado has been forced to live in hiding,” said Nobel Chairman Watne Frydnes said. “Despite serious threats against her life, she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.”
This is telling, because since taking office, Trump has done nothing but fight to extinguish the flame of democracy in our country and impose authoritarianism on us.
The Nobel Prize Committee chairman was even asked directly about Trump’s efforts to bully the Committee into giving him the prize. A reporter said “U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and he'd like to have it. He even said that it would be an insult to the United States if he doesn't get it. What does your, as the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, think of this and how has this campaign-like activity by the president and his supporters, domestically and internationally, affected the deliberations and the thinking in the committee?”
The chairman replied, “This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.” The implication, of course, is that Trump has neither courage nor integrity… which he doesn’t, of course.
Trump is going to be FURIOUS, and we couldn’t be more here for it. The depths of delusion are simply unfathomable. How does Trump think that he would be deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize for unleashing a secret police to crack skulls and drag women and children screaming from their homes at 1 in the morning? What is PEACEFUL about indiscriminately and illegally destroying Venezuelan fishing boats and murdering everyone on board? The Committee definitely made the right choice today.

BREAKING: MAGA world explodes with rage as Pete Hegseth makes the jaw-dropping announcement that Qatar will build an air force facility in Idaho and station their fighter planes on U.S. soil. The Qataris bribed Trump with a private jet and now he's paying them back tenfold...
"And I'm also proud that today we're announcing or we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idadho," Defense Secretary Hegseth said while sitting beside Qatari Defense Minister Abdulrahman Al Thani.
"The location will host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase lethality, inner-operability. It's just another example of our partnership and I hope you know, Your Excellency, you can count on us." Qatar is a close ally of China and the two have recently entered into what has been described as a "Golden Era" of strategic partnership. Putting Qatari military facilities inside the United States is akin to stationing Chinese troops. Far-right provocateur, noted Trump ally, and virulent Islamophobe Laura Loomer had a meltdown on X over the air base announcement—
"Never thought I’d see Republicans give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil so they can murder Americans," she wrote. "I don’t think I’ll be voting in 2026. I cannot in good conscience make any excuses for the harboring of jihadis. "This is where I draw the line."
Other MAGA supporters had similar reactions all across social media. Even diehard Trump fans are having difficulty defending this decision.
This truly stunning announcement — which constitutes a profound betrayal of American national security interests — comes in the wake of the equally shocking announcement that Trump has signed an executive order promising to use the U.S. military to defend Qatar. It amounts to a security pact similar to NATO's Article 5, which interprets any attack on one member state as an attack on all. In other words, Trump has pledged to send American troops to fight and die if Qatar needs them.
On top of that arrangement, Trump announced in May that he would be accepting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 plane as a "free gift" from Qatar to use as Air Force One. Stripping the jet down and implementing the proper security measures will cost tax payers as much as $1 billion. It also seems highly likely that Trump will try to take the plane with him when he leaves office.
In April, the Trump Organization inked a deal to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar, assuring that even more Qatar money will flow into Trump's pockets.
Any single one of these corrupt Qatari deals would have brought down any other president, leading to impeachment and removal. Imagine the outrage if President Obama had greenlit plans to station the forces of a Muslim nation within our borders. But for Trump, blatant criminality and graft is expected at this point.
Right. It feels more and more like soon there won't be anything left of this nation to save. I hope so much that the special elections will begin to tip the balance! We can't wait until next November.
This is why I am an atheist. If there truly were a benevolent and loving God watching over the world why are so many countries - ours included - spiraling down into dictatorship and tyranny? Why is trump still alive? Susan
hear you. It's long been an existential question...as to why good things happen to cruel people. The theological answer is "God didn't stop the crucifixion, but rose from the dead." My understanding is that pure Unconditional Love is intrinsically bound up with Free Will. If a God could force will on anyone, that would be manipulation and a form of cruelty in itself. Continuously offering and hoping we will choose well is utmost hope and optimism. I think Edith Schaeffer said it well when she said Purgatory is the first moment we cross over from this life to complete Light and Love and see our lack. Author Lucy Maud Montgomery (a clergy spouse) said it well when she wrote that when we die and the chaff of us is burned away and only the wheat of us is left, will there be enough left of us for us to be recognisable in heaven? It seems to me that there are some people that will instantly disappear completely in a puff of chaff. Why it can't come about on this plane of existence is still unclear to me...except to say that this is our chance to choose well. "I set before you this day Life and Death. Choose Life."
Of course they do. The Mango Menace must have everything he desires. The fact that he's sending armed troops into our cities? Pah, a nothing-burger (to them). I will celebrate so hard at his death. Susan
Bolsonaro also incited an insurrection to throw over election results. The difference is HE was prosecuted, found guilty and is serving 27 years in prison. IF ONLY THE SAME HAD HAPPENED TO TRUMP, and it should have. Susan
We are coming into a time like Argentina in the 1970s!
"The 1970s in Argentina were defined by extreme political instability and violence that culminated in the brutal military dictatorship of 1976 and the subsequent "Dirty War". This repression, targeting left-wing activists and other opponents, was coupled with a collapsing economy and significant cultural turbulence."
If you haven't already seen it, check out the movie The Penguin Lessons!!! It takes place in Argentina in the late 1970's and includes people being taken off the streets. In fact, they were more subtle about it than DT's goons.
