A group of Anti-ICE protestors have taken things too far in Portland, Oregon.
In an interview with Fox News, Cammila Wamsley, who is the director of ICE in the city, shared that Portland has had over 100 straight nights of Anti-ICE protests, with the local police mostly non-present from this scene.

“It’s frustrating for us to watch people be attacked on the street and know that we don’t have the authority to be able to really step in unless there’s some nexus to federal law.”
During this time of disruption, the protestors have not only shattered windows with rocks, but they have hit the building with bottle rockets, targeted officers with lasers and even brought in a guillotine.
Previously noted by Fox, in the footage that showed the guillotine at the facility, the protestors also burned a flag and a warning could be heard given to the demonstrators: “Everyone must leave this restricted area, or may be subject to detention, arrest or exposure to chemical munitions for failure to depart the restricted area.”
This Anti-ICE narrative has perpetuated throughout the country as a gunman killed and injured people last month at a Dallas ICE facility. The bullets found used during the shooting had messaging on it against ICE.

These situations are a stark reminder of what can happen when lawlessness and moral relativism are allowed to flourish. What we are witnessing is not merely political dissent—it is a breakdown of respect for authority and human life, a defiance of the very order God has established in society. We must stand firm in upholding biblical values, recognizing that God calls us to order, peace and righteousness no matter what the world promotes.
