Rose City Counter-Info

After ICE agents murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis and shot two people in Portland, it has become alarmingly clear that we cannot tolerate ICE in our city any longer, and we cannot wait for change to come from politicians: we need to act together to force them out now. Every single day, ICE terrorizes our neighbors: on the street, at workplaces, at the courthouse, and at hospitals and schools.

In response, Portlanders have continued to show up. The streets outside the ICE building have been packed with throngs of protesters, but each night follows an all too familiar playbook that ends with people being brutalized and arrested by police. There have been rallies with hours of speakers and hollow promises from politicians hoping to score points for the next election cycle and marches that go in circles, but these things alone don’t put pressure on ICE.

It’s time to turn it up a notch.

This is a call for something different. We need to go on the offensive and push ICE out of our city before they kill again. It’s time to take the battle to the actual people responsible for kidnapping, disappearing, and shooting our neighbors. Behind the masks, ICE agents have names and addresses, and some of them feel comfortable enough to live in the same city they terrorize on a daily basis.

We’ve seen what we’re capable of when we can come together. In July, Portland showed up and marched on the ICE facility and pushed the feds back. In Los Angeles, crowds have come together to disrupt ICE and CBP and forced them to flee. In Minneapolis, people have sought out the hotels where out of town ICE agents are staying and brought the pressure and noise right into the lobbies. Every day, in every corner of the country, normal people are coming together to stand up and fight back against ICE, in bold and creative ways. Now it’s our turn.

Rita Soraghan is a deportation officer who owns a home in the Mt. Scott/Arleta neighborhood. She works out of the Portland ICE facility, identifying and abducting people, kidnapping our neighbors and tearing apart families. This is where we will start. Let’s come together, make some noise, and turn up the heat on ICE!

We will gather outside Rita’s house on SE 67^th Avenue (between SE Raymond and SE Mitchell) street starting at 6pm on Friday, January 16th. We will hold it down until the message is sent.

NO KINGS NO PRESIDENTS!

This is a last-minute invitation to dust off your black clothing (or put it on for the first time!), mask up, and bring an uncompromising spirit to the No Kings demonstration Saturday 10/18.

Protest marches, no matter how many attend, will never pose a threat to power as long as they remain trapped within the cage of politics, intent on dialogue with our rulers. Signs and chants will not stop ICE thugs from kidnapping us, our loved ones or neighbors; only widespread courageous action can do that. Anarchists are right to identify the tyranny of democracy and point out that a cruel world ruled by profit and maintained by borders and wars, police and prisons, has always demanded of us its immediate destruction. 

Rather than using this critique as an excuse to set ourselves apart from and above all those freshly enraged by Trump’s fascism, we want to take it to the streets in search of accomplices. In a time when the President and his allies invoke “anarchists” and “insurrection” on the national stage, we find it necessary to articulate our revolutionary desires more clearly and proudly than ever. Yes, it easier to remain in the false safety of isolation, but where’s the fun in that? We refuse to be ruled by fear of any kind, whether it be of repression or the chance of our ideas being rejected by our neighbors. 

We believe that people are increasingly alienated from political solutions, know that all the old methods have failed, and feel in their hearts that something is missing. Whether they cannot yet imagine what they might be capable of or feel too alone to take the first step, visible anarchist intervention in the current moment has the potential to open up a world of possibility.

We want to see the spread of bold action against this regime. Being able to articulate our dreams and proposals in the light of day is an important step towards making this a reality. 

Look for our banners on the west waterfront under the Burnside Bridge at 12:30 on Saturday. You’ll know them when you see them.

Freedom begins where obedience ends!

See you in the streets!

Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The only limit power knows is our refusal to submit. This Saturday, October 11th, you are invited to fight back. All you need is a laser. Leave home – they can see where the laser is coming from. Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up. Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party!

Let’s take back the night together! It won’t take many of us to ground the helicopters!

2025 Portland Anarchist Zine Fair

Oct 5th. 11 AM – 7 PM

portlandanarchyfair@anche.no

Everyone who has lived here knows that there are two Portlands: the Portland of the wealthy elite and their yuppie lackeys and the Portland of the poor, of the rabble. The architects of this misery are trying to ease the tension building on the fault line between these two cities using political games, counter-cultural branding, rainbow washing, and welfare “services” that amount to breadcrumbs laid in a mouse trap.

We are publicizing the names and faces of two I.C.E. agents who have been spotted kidnapping people on multiple occasions across the greater Portland area. These people are a threat to our community. They do not deserve peace or anonymity. No safety for the Gestapo scumbags at I.C.E.!

SARAH ANN EICHLER

Sarah Ann Eichler works as a kidnapper at the Portland I.C.E. facility. Sarah went viral in 2017 for racially profiling a man outside of the Washington County courthouse. Since then she has been spotted leading other deportation arrests. Such as in August of this year when Sarah helped kidnap a man outside a laundromat in Beaverton.
