Protests Take Place In Portland In Response To Trump Immigration Policy
You can’t make this stuff up — Portland’s never-ending Antifa protest outside the ICE South Waterfront facility just got… weird.
For weeks, the black-clad activists have been out there with bullhorns, drums, and plenty of self-righteous posturing, screaming about ICE, America, and whatever else they can fit into a chant. Neighbors? They’ve had enough, with some even begging Trump to send in the National Guard to restore some peace and quiet.

They didn’t get the Guard. They got Elmo.
Yes, over the weekend, an adult in a full-blown Elmo costume waltzed into the protest zone and trolled the “anti-fascist” crowd into absolute confusion. Video captured by Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial shows Elmo crawling around dramatically, dancing at the gates of the ICE facility, and plopping down on the pavement while bewildered Antifa activists tried to figure out what to do with a children’s TV character mocking them.
After weeks of waiting, Based @elmo finally showed up at the Portland @ICEgov facility — and Antifa lost their damn minds!

It was glorious chaos.
Protesters immediately accused the costumed troll of “acting like a pedophile,” because of course they did. Then one launched into the standard “this is native land” spiel, to which Elmo cheerfully replied: “I’m Elmo, I want everyone to be friends!” Cue Antifa rage short-circuiting.
And that’s the thing — these guys are geared up to scream at cops, clash with Proud Boys, and give dramatic speeches about fascism. But throw in a bright-red Muppet dancing at their protest? They melt down. They don’t know whether to fight, flee, or… book therapy.

At one point, the activists were so distracted, they were arguing with Elmo while another protester screamed into a bullhorn about the Epstein files. Two trolls at once. Maximum disarray.
The timing couldn’t be better — Elmo’s been in the headlines lately after his X account was hacked with anti-Semitic and anti-Trump content. Jon Stewart even did a skit turning Elmo into an “alt-right radical” who had a change of heart after listening to Stewart’s show. Maybe that inspired this weekend’s antics.

Either way, it worked. Antifa prides itself on being the ultra-serious vanguard of resistance — and Elmo exposed them as a bunch of easily-rattled hall monitors with sticks.
