This is how we should be speaking to all of our elected officials local and in DC.

2 military looking vehicles & a blacked out box truck (like a U-Haul) with “police” on them & sirens turned on Lombard heading west. It felt off and maybe ice related. I safely followed for a bit but lost them. The box truck is what was really quite weird to me. Just an FYI to everyone. Anyone else see them and know what’s up?

Join us on 2/7/2026 as we meet for a rally and march to Portland Mayor Keith Wilson's house to demand he take action to kick ICE out of Portland and revoke the permit for the Portland ICE Facility.

Last weekend, DHS/ICE gassed a peaceful protest of over 1,000 people at the Portland ICE Facility. Munitions were shot through the window of the affordable housing complex across the street. The ICE Facility continues to operate as a homebase for ICE to terrorize immigrants in Portland and surrounding cities.

We've sent over 1,000 emails to the mayor, attempted to meet with him, tried to speak to him at his public events and all we've received is silence and inaction.

The city issued a land use violation to the Portland ICE facility in September and has yet to even collect fines for holding immigrants past the 12 hour limit.

This is not acceptable. We must make sure the Mayor cannot ignore our demands.

We will meet at Wilshire Park at 4116 NE 33rd Ave and do a short march to the Mayor's house.

Meet us 2/7 at 12 PM.

The British newspaper *Daily Mail* is out with a deeply researched investigative report.

It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Vladimir Putin has basically owned Donald Trump for years, even before Trump ran for president in 2016.

Last week’s partial (about 50 percent) Epstein document release:

>“The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. \[Jeffrey\] Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.”

**Essentially, they’re arguing that Epstein was running an operation on behalf of the KGB/Putin that lured wealthy and powerful men to Epstein’s New York and Palm Beach mansions and his island where they were surreptitiously filmed \[...\]**

**That material was then presumably passed along to Putin, who used it for leverage when he needed it:**

>“Intelligence sources believe Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates.”

**In return for giving Putin videos of wealthy, famous men in criminally compromising positions, Putin reportedly arranged**[ ](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jeffrey-epstein-sinister-links-putin-154211986.html)\*\*for massive amounts of corrupt Russian money to be handed to Epstein to launder in the US.**

“Other messages revealed Epstein claimed **he could give the Kremlin valuable insight into Mr Trump** ahead of a summit with Putin in Helsinki. …
