Crowds Gather at Portland Protests from Far-Right Rally, Far-Left Antifa Forces

The liberal city of Portland, Oregon, is again expected to be a flashpoint because of a right-wing rally planned Saturday. The out-of-town groups will likely be met by anti-fascist protesters, and the police will be out in force. The city has seen violent protests before.

Members of the Antifa are gathering at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park ahead of the right-wing rally. The far-right event is being organized by a member of the Proud Boys, which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Also expected at the Saturday event are members of the American Guard, Three Percenters, Oathkeepers and Daily Stormers. American Guard is a white nationalist group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, while Three Percenters and Oathkeepers are extremist, anti-government militias. The Daily Stormers are neo-Nazis, according to the center.
