Portland Police Refused To Help ICE Agents Who Called 911, Agents Say



Back when I was a baby, and a cop, it was well known there were "turf wars" when multiple agencies were involved - DEA, FBI, local cops, sheriff's deputies.... But one thing was always absolute - if a cop was in trouble, 'agencies' disappeared and help arrived in force.

I'm wondering how many of our liberals can bring themselves to denounce this lack of response to ICE, or maybe think it's somehow justified.

I think the police should have responded... to ensure the citizens were protected from ICE.

Abolish ICE.

Naturally, I'm not surprised by this in the least.

Ice wasn't the ones being violent Starlight oh I forget you think it is ok to be violent against those who you and the left disagree with. But if someone dares try to protect htemselves from said violence is wrong to do so.

Was there a real, actual threat or did ICE just not like the peaceful protestors? The article in the OP says "After setting up camp, they became violent and incited violence several times." but clicking the link in that sentence leads to an article about protestors beheading a Trump pinata.

Good question, PM - I'll do some more digging.

Thankfully the majority of Americans are still sane...

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 25% of Likely U.S. Voters favor getting rid of ICE whose duties include border control. Fifty-five percent (55%) are opposed. Twenty percent (20%) are undecided.

I had to go through customs and border control to get back into the US from Germany last week. And to even get into Germany. It's kinda weird. Even other countries have this whole border protection thing going on where you have to have papers and passports to enter their country. What's up with that?

Yup, coming back from Israel, I had to do the whole "prove who I was" thing, and present papers.

It was the same way when I traveled through Europe in 75, I had to show my papers at every border crossing.
