As our friend Jason Rantz reported for 770 KTTH, during the “No Kings” march, armed ANTIFA swarmed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) facility in Tukwila, Washington. They assaulted cops with frozen water bottles and journalists, including Brandi Kruse, with mace. Tukwila Police and an ICE Special Response Team were forced to use tear gas to disperse the violent mob.
As Cam Higby reported:
Tukwila PD and Homeland just LIT THESE RIOTERS UP
They were blockading the entrance to the DHS facility and agents needed to exit. They made it out.

In downtown Seattle, so-called “demonstrators” set a Lime scooter on fire near 5th Avenue and Stewart Street, sending black smoke billowing. ANTIFA swarmed the area, dressed in black bloc, signs calling to abolish ICE, and chants that sounded more like threats than slogans. Windows were smashed, and people were aggressively confronting police and attacking journalists, including Cam Higby.
This wasn’t an isolated moment of chaos—it was a coordinated weekend of mayhem.
Eleven activists were arrested in Spokane. In Portland, radicals clashed with law enforcement outside an ICE facility.
However, if you only see the establishment media, you’d never know this is happening.
In Seattle, the media coverage was laughably selective, reported Mr. Rantz.
KING 5 ignored the burning scooter and confrontations with police. Their report was somehow void of any mention of destruction.
The Seattle Times headline and story about the Tukwila mob suggested that police targeted innocent protesters in Tukwila during an ICE check-in demonstration. Reporter Nick Wagner did not bother to mention any violence committed by ANTIFA. The entirety of the coverage was about a peaceful and lawful gathering.
Jason Rantz’s MyNorthwest was the only local news outlet to accurately describe the radicals as ANTIFA.
These demonstrations aren’t about ICE or democracy. They’re about optics, disruption, and political theater, suggested Mr. Rantz.
Big, blue cities are filled with angry liberals incapable of coping with the loss of the White House. President Donald Trump broke these people and they’re still devastated that the nation wouldn’t give them four more years to tear our country down.
The Left thrives in this environment.
Democrats get to posture as the noble resistance while quietly tolerating—if not encouraging—intimidation and violence. And their media allies help by reporting just enough to seem credible, while conveniently omitting anything that might tarnish the progressive narrative. It’s the same playbook we saw in 2020. The same slogans. The same black-block agitators. The same denial.
And it’s the same result: chaos in Democrat-run cities while their elected leaders pretend everything is fine.
If you don’t acknowledge what’s happening now, you’re setting the stage for worse. You can’t fix a problem you refuse to name. So, let’s name it: Political violence isn’t just being tolerated—it’s being normalized again by the Democrats. And until someone breaks the cycle, weekends like this one will keep repeating.
