Alternative media journalist Nick Sortor said the Department of Homeland Security is preparing an "unprecedented" response in 
Portland, Oregon, following his arrest by city police late Thursday as he covered ongoing antifa riots.

Sortor, a conservative influencer with 1.2 million followers on X, made the announcement Friday morning on the social media 
platform.

"I have been in direct contact with top officials at DHS," Sortor wrote. "What's coming in Portland is unprecedented. All thanks to 
@PortlandPolice exposing themselves by arresting journalists. Great work, Portland!"

Sortor was taken into custody while reporting on violent protests that have raged in Portland for weeks outside the city's 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The riots, which began June 2, have led to dozens of injuries, repeated 
property damage, and violent clashes between police, federal agents, and far-left demonstrators.

In an interview with Fox News, Sortor described being attacked by antifa rioters.

"This was as big of a surprise to me as it was to everybody else. All of a sudden, you know, I'm being jumped by antifa thugs," he 
said. "I get back up, I stumble away and go back toward cops where I think, you know, at least, all right, well, maybe that'll be a 
safer place for me to go ... never suspected that I was going to be the target of the arrest, that they were coming in to me."

Sortor did not disclose details of the DHS action, but shortly before his post, he shared a letter from Assistant Attorney General 
for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, addressed to the Portland City Attorney's Office and Police Bureau. The letter requested 
documentation and video footage of Sortor's arrest.

In a separate post, Dhillon wrote, "About damn time Portland took the law seriously."

Dhillon also raised questions about Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt, who was assaulted earlier in the week by a masked 
rioter.

"This antifa-affiliated subject just started approaching me and waving a flagpole in my face, and then I kind of turn around and 
that's when she swung it like a baseball bat and directly hit my eye," Daviscourt told conservative activist and Real America's 
Voice host Jack Posobiec, according to the New York Post.

Daviscourt appeared in interviews later with a visible black eye. She said she identified the attacker to nearby police but that no 
arrest was made.

"Portland police refused to come in and make an arrest and I had three officers just standing there, watching me try to hunt down 
the suspect," she told the Post.

Police confirmed the incident in a statement Wednesday, saying a "Dialogue Liaison Officer," who is not permitted to make arrests, 
had attempted to detain the suspect.

"The Dialogue Officer attempted to talk to the suspect to hear her side of the story. She would not stop, so the DLO told her she 
was being detained. She refused the lawful police order to stop and she fled," the statement said.

As of Friday, the suspect has not been apprehended.

On Sept. 22, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating antifa as a terrorist organization.

Days later, he announced a federal response. "At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing 
Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect war-ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities 
under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists," Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sept. 27.

"I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he added.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
