A video shared on social media shows Antifa protesters confronting law enforcement officials and starting fires at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Portland, Oregon. The attack occurred on Monday night following President Donald Trump’s inauguration and immediate crackdown on illegal immigration.
According to The Post Millennial, approximately 15 Antifa members dressed in black riot gear were involved in Monday’s protest in Portland at the ICE detention center located at 4310 S Macadam Road. The outlet reported that none of the Antifa protesters were arrested and that the group threatened to engage in additional violent protests.
A video of Monday’s incident uploaded by one of the Antifa members was shared by The Post Millennial’s senior editor, Andy Ngo. Ngo tweeted, “Antifa in Portland, Ore. gathered overnight late on Jan. 20 to attack the @ICEgov facility that they regularly attacked and set on fire before.”
The video shows Antifa protesters confronting police officers who were working to quickly extinguish the fires that the protesters started outside the ICE detention center. The Antifa protesters can be heard mocking law enforcement officials, with one Antifa member shouting, “I’m so glad you signed up for this.”
The Post Millennial reported that the Portland ICE detention center is the same ICE building that has been repeatedly targeted by Antifa protesters over the past several years, including a protest in 2021 that involved Antifa members setting the building on fire with law enforcement officials trapped in the detention center.

The social media user who shared the video of Monday’s Antifa protest also shared a picture of the ICE detention center that was set on fire in 2021, tweeting, “For anyone just joining the chat now in 2025…Yes, this is the same building…Yes it can be set on fire.”
The Post Millennial reported that Monday’s protest at Portland’s ICE detention Center came after the 47th president signed multiple executive orders during his first day in office to increase security at the southern border and begin the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.
According to The Post Millennial, Trump ordered that criminal illegal immigrants be immediately removed from the country, ended birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, dispatched the U.S. military to the southern border, and repealed the Biden-Harris administration’s catch-and-release immigration policies.
