Enterprise Lot Vandalism Claimed as Anti-ICE Action in Portland
Source: The Post Millennial
Executive Summary
An anonymously submitted statement posted by an anarchist-aligned Portland counter-information site claims responsibility for disabling and vandalizing every vehicle at an Enterprise rental lot in northeast Portland, framing the attack as retaliation for alleged DHS/ICE vehicle rentals. The claim describes puncturing tires with awls, painting vehicles, and spraying “ICE RENTS HERE” on the building. A separate media report says Portland Police confirmed damage to roughly a dozen vehicles at the location and that no arrests have been made.
Analysis
The core development is a self-claimed, ideologically motivated property attack targeting a commercial service provider rather than a government facility. The statement describes deliberate, rapid sabotage intended to render a fleet inoperable and to publicly brand the location as supporting immigration enforcement. The authors explicitly frame the attack as coercive leverage: punish a private company until it cuts ties with federal agencies, and demonstrate how quickly similar actions could be replicated at other locations.
Key operational details from the claim:
Target and location: an Enterprise Rental lot near Sandy Blvd. and NE 28th in Portland; the claim asserts “every car, truck, and van” in the lot was disabled.
Tactics: awls used to puncture tires; vehicles also hit with paint; building marked with a large “ICE RENTS HERE” message to advertise motive.
Stated rationale: alleged ICE/Border Patrol use of Enterprise rentals for detention and deportation operations, including in Portland; the post emphasizes Enterprise has multiple city locations.
The second source corroborates that vandalism occurred at the described Enterprise location but differs on scope and verifiability. It says Portland Police found approximately a dozen vehicles damaged and that investigators do not currently have suspect images to release, which conflicts with the claim that “every” vehicle on the lot was disabled. The same report characterizes the hosting blog as part of a broader ecosystem of far-left direct-action messaging and cites additional alleged prior incidents and doxxing behavior, but those broader assertions are not substantiated within the claimed Enterprise statement itself.
