Federal agents are tearing down Antifa camps in Portland instead of treating them like a protected habitat. That city spent years letting masked crews occupy streets, torch property, and call it protest. The camps were never camping. They were staging grounds. Clearing them is the first adult decision Portland has seen in a long time.Local officials turned a major American city into a permission slip for political violence. Businesses boarded up. Residents learned to walk around the occupation. Every delay told the same people they owned the night. Federal officers walking through the smoke to dismantle that setup is not an overreach. It is the state remembering it has a monopoly on force for a reason.Camps come back if the arrests do not. Take the tents, take the organizers, and keep the blocks from becoming a second government. Portland does not get to host a militia and call it culture. Restore the streets. Charge the people who built the barricades. A city that cannot clear a camp cannot claim to be governed. This is how you start.
