Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt showed up on camera with a swollen black eye and a concussion after she says a masked Antifa-affiliated protester struck her in the face with a flagpole while she was reporting outside the ICE facility in Portland. Her account, backed by video she posted and repeated on conservative broadcasts, paints a picture of a journalist attacked for simply doing her job in a city that has become hostile territory for anyone who doesn’t bow to the leftist mob.
Daviscourt says she chased the suspect for more than half an hour and demanded police take action, only to watch officers fail to make a timely arrest; Portland Police later said a Dialogue Liaison Officer tried to detain the suspect but she fled. This isn’t a lone complaint — it’s the same pattern Portland residents and federal workers have warned about for months: police hamstrung, radicals emboldened, and victims left to fend for themselves.
The physical toll on Daviscourt was not minor; conservative outlets and her own posts reported a concussion and an eye hemorrhage alongside the visible bruising, evidence that these aren’t petty scuffles but violent assaults that could have had far worse consequences. When a journalist covering the story of federal law enforcement is attacked on the street and the local response is tepid, every American who values free speech and public safety should take notice.
President Trump convened a White House roundtable to spotlight Antifa’s violence and to give a platform to journalists and victims who have been silenced by the mainstream narrative, a necessary corrective after months of left-wing media minimizing the chaos. The administration has argued that federal intervention is warranted to protect federal facilities and employees when local authorities refuse or fail to act.
This is exactly why the president moved to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist threat and to push for harsher enforcement; rhetoric without action would be worthless, but letting cities slide into lawlessness while patriotic Americans are assaulted is unforgivable. If local governments won’t protect ordinary citizens, the federal government has both the right and the duty to step in and restore order.
Watch how the national media reflexively frames these attacks as “protests” and blames victims for simply being present; that spin is part of the problem. Daviscourt’s story and the footage from Portland should shame every newsroom that looks the other way while conservatives, ICE officers, and ordinary citizens are harassed and hurt.
Americans who still believe in law and liberty should demand accountability from Portland’s leaders, backing federal moves to secure ICE facilities and protect journalists who report the truth. Support for victims like Katie Daviscourt isn’t tribal — it’s patriotic; we must compel police to do their jobs, prosecute attackers to the full extent of the law, and ensure no journalist is left bleeding in the streets for daring to cover the truth.
