Trump's masked thugs attacked a blind protestor in South Portland last weekend and dragged him away like an animal.

The man is 4'6" and legally blind.

A US citizen.

"They picked the weakest person they could find," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

how much do we trust hemphill's stated purpose and motives here
Nearby, Pamela Hemphill sat smoking a cigarette in a blue lawn chair. The 72-year-old, once known as "MAGA Granny, " said she wanted to see what the "war-ravaged" city President Trump described actually looked like. "They aren't violent," Hemphill said of the protesters she's interacted with. "They're some of the sweetest people." Hemphill is one of the 1,500 people who received a presidential pardon for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She turned down the president's clemency offer, telling news outlets across the country that she regretted her participation that day. She told The Oregonian/OregonLive she wants to help dispel misinformation about what's happening in cities like Portland after Trump's orders to deploy the National Guard. She arrived on Sunday, traveling from her home in Idaho with her dog. "It's my way to atone, " she said.

Per Heather Cox Richardson’s report: Zane Sparling, Fedor Zarkhin, and Zaeem Shaikh of The Oregonian/OregonLive compiled a timeline of protests against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland. They noted that the last arrest of protesters by Portland police was on June 19, bringing the total to 25, and the last arrest by federal officers was on July 4, bringing

Shocked not shocked:

"A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were “instigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland."
“It makes it extremely difficult for us to deal with, as the folks that are on the other side of this fence have been, night after night, actually instigating and causing some of the ruckus that’s occurring down there,” Dobson said. “Okay. So it’s your testimony ICE is creating the problem?” Rask asked. “I’m saying that they’re not following best practice,” Dobson replied. The Portland Police Bureau declined to answer questions from The Oregonian/OregonLive asking how, exactly, the bureau believes federal officers aren’t following best practice in dealing with crowds, saying it did not have additional comment beyond what’s in the official record.

OregonLive reported on September 25, 2025, that federal authorities have arrested more than 2 dozen people over months of protests, and that federal police may be "instigating" confrontations with protesters.

“POTUS has sent agents here to create chaos and riots in Portland,” Merkley said.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee.

Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.
