A Portland anarchist who brutally assaulted a federal immigration officer with a large rock is finally facing real consequences for his violent crimes, with prosecutors seeking up to 20 years in prison for the savage attack.
Robert Jacob Hoopes pleaded guilty Wednesday to aggravated assault of a federal employee with a dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury, stemming from his role in the June 2025 mob attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Portland.
This is what justice looks like, Patriots. After years of watching radical leftists terrorize federal law enforcement with complete impunity under the Biden regime, President Trump's Department of Justice is finally holding these domestic terrorists accountable for their crimes against the men and women protecting our borders.
Portland's War on Immigration Enforcement
The assault occurred during one of Portland's typical anti-ICE riots, where masked agitators routinely attack federal agents simply for doing their jobs – enforcing America's immigration laws. These aren't "peaceful protesters" as the mainstream media loves to claim. These are violent extremists who believe they're above the law.
Hoopes' weapon of choice? A large rock hurled at a federal officer's head. This wasn't some spontaneous moment of passion – this was a calculated assault with a deadly weapon against a law enforcement officer serving his country.
Under Trump's leadership, Attorney General Pam Bondi has made it crystal clear that attacks on federal agents will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. No more catch-and-release for violent leftists. No more slaps on the wrist from liberal prosecutors who hate law enforcement more than they love justice.
The Real Cost of Liberal Lawlessness
For too long, cities like Portland have enabled this kind of anti-American violence. Liberal mayors and district attorneys have created sanctuaries not just for illegal aliens, but for the domestic terrorists who assault the brave men and women trying to enforce our nation's laws.
Every ICE agent who gets attacked is someone's husband, wife, father, or mother. They're Americans doing a dangerous job to protect other Americans from criminals who shouldn't be in our country in the first place.
Hoopes now faces up to two decades behind bars – exactly where violent criminals belong. Let this serve as a warning to every other Antifa thug thinking about assaulting federal officers: the Trump administration doesn't play games when it comes to protecting those who protect America.
How many more of these leftist terrorists need to face real prison time before Portland's anarchists learn that actions have consequences?
