Report: Oregon ‘Abolish ICE’ Agitators Hurled Racial Slurs at Black, Hispanic Officers

72

Associated Press24 Jul 2018312“Abolish ICE” agitators in Portland, Oregon, reportedly hurled racial slurs at black and Hispanic federal officers who were policing them for the past month.



According to Tuesday evening report in The Oregonian, agitators who have been occupying and camping outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Southwest Portland since June 17 reportedly called a black officer the N-word and also referred to him as a “blood traitor” and an “Uncle Tom.”


“These racial slurs have been directed at me throughout the entire length of the deployment,” the African-American officer reportedly wrote, according to email recordsThe Oregonian obtained.


The outlet reported that an officer “who is a woman of Hispanic and Native American descent” was “called derogatory terms for Hispanic people” in addition to being called a “weak female” and “traitor.”


“I was berated for so long I can’t even remember everything that was told to me,” the female officer of Hispanic and Native American descent reportedly wrote.


Another officer reportedly complained that the “Abolish ICE” agitators, in addition to calling the officers Nazis, “yelled continuously that they hope we die, they hope our families die.”


Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced on Monday that the agitators, who last month blocked ICE agents from going to work (at least eight were arrested), had to clear out by midnight the next day. A sign at the front of the camp reportedly said, “any attempt to dismantle this community is a declaration of war.” But by Tuesday evening, about a dozen agitators reportedly remained, as most of the agitators disbanded.


Residents living near the area said the “Abolish ICE” agitators made them afraid to walk down the street, with one anonymous resident reportedly saying, “It’s very noisy, people are acting very threatening toward residents, there are actually people coming from the camp and they’re urinating on the building.”


Another resident who lives near the ICE field office reportedly added: “I think that this all started for children, but then I think it got lost with the violence, the threats of violence, just the yelling and the screaming, the use of children is just wrong.”

This kind of thing is probably why this is happening (don't care for this guy, but he can't be any worse than Brown):

Republican challenger pulls even with anti-Trump Democrat in solid-blue Oregon's governor's race: poll

By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

Republican state Rep. Knute Buehler is waging a serious challenge to incumbent Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, with both candidates getting support from 45 percent of likely voters, the latest poll shows. (Facebook)

If there's a "blue wave" coming in 2018, someone may have forgotten to tell Oregon's voters. A Republican challenger has pulled even with blue state Oregon's Democratic incumbent governor, according to a new poll.

The news comes as a surprise in a state that hasn’t seen a Republican governor since late 1980s, sparking fears of the end of Democratic Party’s total domination of the state.

The poll indicates that Republican state Rep. Knute Buehler is waging a serious challenge to Gov. Kate Brown, a vocal critic of President Trump, with both candidates getting support from 45 percent of likely voters, the Oregonian reported.

Oregon is considered a solid blue state, with Democrats controlling both the state House and Senate, while Brown has been the governor since 2015.

Kate Brown had a chance to fight for Oregon and she came up short. As governor, I’ll take the reins and lead as a voice for all Oregonians – where Kate Brown has failed. http://bit.ly/2LGvUy6 #orpol #knuteforgov

The poll, conducted by Florida-based Gravis Marketing, invigorated the race overnight, though Democrats began questioning its validity.

“It's hard to understand how this is a reputable piece of public opinion research,” Brown’s campaign spokesman, Christian Gaston, told the Oregonian.

"It's a bit surprising to see a Democratic statewide candidate in Oregon have such weak numbers, but (Brown) does."
- John Horvick, DHM Research Vice President

But other pollsters in the state aren’t dismissing the poll showing the two candidates deadlocked in the race, saying Brown doesn’t have strong voter support.

“We've seen it pretty close, head-to-head, between Brown and Buehler,” John Horvick, vice president and political director of DHM Research in Portland, told the newspaper. "It's a bit surprising to see a Democratic statewide candidate in Oregon have such weak numbers, but (Brown) does.”

DHM Research’s previous poll in January indicated Brown was leading Buehler 46 percent to 29 percent.

The latest poll, showing Brown struggling against a Republican in a solid blue state, strikes at the core of Democrats’ messaging about the looming so-called “blue wave” in the upcoming midterm elections.

Buehler is running a campaign based strictly on statewide issues, avoiding any national politics distractions. His platform is moderate Republican, promising to “restore fiscal sanity” and not to impose new taxes, all while improving the state’s education system.

Governor Kate Brown

Oregon will continue to be welcoming to all who call our state home. I’m proud of Oregon’s Sanctuary Law and took action last year to strengthen it. I appreciate @ORDOJ⁩ legal action and will continue speaking out against Trump’s immigration policies.

Gov. Kate Brown strengthens sanctuary law, asks AG to fight Trump's travel ban

The move comes nearly a week after President Donald Trump issued his own executive order banning most travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the U.S.

Brown, meanwhile, appears to stick to the Democratic Party’s efforts to gather support by pointing fingers at the White House in a bid to energize voters in a state where the overwhelming majority of voters supported Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.
Brown has since become a loud voice in national politics. She has repeatedly called out the Trump administration over issues of immigration and, more recently, criticized the selection of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as President Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court.

But attacks on Trump may not work against Buehler as he himself once condemned Trump. In 2015, before Trump became the Republican Party’s nominee for the president, Buehler called Trump “angry” and “self-absorbed” while urging voters to reject him in the state's GOP primary.

“For Republicans to win nationally and here in Oregon, we need a presidential nominee and GOP that is positive, inclusive and hopeful,” he said at the time.

Republicans and Oregon voters should support this Republican in the Governor's race of Oregon, regardless of any comments he made about Trump in 2015.

Not if he's a Democrat disguised as a Republican or Republican that supports sanctuary for illegals and other such nonsense. In such a scenario, I'd just as soon they have a Democrat. Because at least then you know who the enemy is.
