A Portland apartment building once partially owned by the Alaska Permanent Fund is at the center of controversy after reports emerged linking it to militant Antifa activity near the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
The apartment unit, which has been used as a staging ground by black-clad protesters in what observers describe as coordinated “shift changes,” was previously 50% owned by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation through its investment in Simpson Housing LLP. The fund sold its stake in Simpson Housing in 2017.
Over the past several weeks, federal authorities have been monitoring the unit due to its proximity to the ICE facility and the suspicious activity associated with it. One individual was observed exiting the building, donning a mask, and heading directly to the ICE facility — a routine that Post Millennial observer Katie Davis Court says is common among protesters who are part of the ongoing unrest in Portland.
On Saturday, federal officers from the Department of Homeland Security conducted a raid on the unit after a suspect brandished a firearm at officers near the ICE facility. The suspect fled on foot but was ultimately apprehended after a pursuit.
The apartment has become a flashpoint in the city’s battle over immigration enforcement and federal jurisdiction, with critics calling it a “safe house” for radical activists involved in the assault on the ICE facility as part of a strategy to maintain around-the-clock protest presence.
And then look who funds these anarchists.
Huh. So the pfd funded Black Lives Matter. And that’s a reason why I haven’t been getting my full pfd. Now I’m pissed off
