It takes courage to stand in the crossfire of America’s culture war, and in Portland, Oregon, that courage has a name: Ben Bergquam. The Real America’s Voice correspondent and host of Law and Border is once again at the heart of a firestorm, exposing what many Americans suspected but few dared to document: a city police department colluding with Antifa radicals and targeting patriots instead of protecting them.
WATCH:
Bergquam’s reporting, backed by video footage, interviews, and firsthand confrontation, has peeled back the veil on how deep Portland’s rot runs. Bergquam joined Real Americas Voice show hosts to explain the unfolding situation that his video has exposed.
Bergquam with Dan Bell:
“I witnessed Portland PD giving advice to Antifa terrorists on how to avoid federal troops being allowed into the city,” Bergquam said in his viral post. “These are the same cops that ignore Antifa attacking innocent people but arrest journalists like Nick Sortor and patriots like Tommy4Trump420. Portland PD is owned by Antifa!”
That’s not hyperbole. It’s not drama. It’s a documented reality, captured in Bergquam’s footage and amplified by his refusal to be silenced.
Sortor’s Arrest and the ‘Victory’ That Followed
The spark that lit this fire came when independent journalist Nick Sortor — known for covering everything from East Palestine to the border crisis — was arrested in Portland after standing up to Antifa thugs. His “crime”? Stopping radicals from burning an American flag.
Bergquam with Grant Stinchfield:
“He was attacked for simply walking down the sidewalk,” Bergquam told Real America’s Voice. “They punched him, used umbrellas as weapons, and when he defended himself — he got arrested. None of the Antifa mob did.”
Days later, justice caught up. The Multnomah County District Attorney quietly dropped all charges against Sortor, admitting there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
“After a careful review of the investigation, including reports and video, we do not believe the crime of Disorderly Conduct can be proven against Mr. Sortor beyond a reasonable doubt.”
From Sortor:
In plain English the DA had no case. Sortor had been falsely arrested, confirming what Bergquam, Grant Stinchfield, and countless others have said all along: Portland’s system isn’t just broken, it’s compromised.
The Police Chief, The Politicians, and the Cover-Up
When asked about the scandal, Bergquam didn’t mince words:
“That Portland Police Chief is an idiot. They’ve allowed Antifa to take over their city. And they’re just upset that they’re being exposed by people like Nick Sortor and me.”
This isn’t just about Portland’s streets. It’s about a pattern. From the mayor’s office to the governor’s mansion, left-wing officials have sided with the radicals while vilifying the people who still believe in law, order, and the Constitution.
Bergquam’s footage captures officers warning Antifa to “cool it” not because they care about peace, but because they feared “giving Trump ammo” to deploy federal troops. Think about that: local law enforcement protecting agitators out of political fear.
“That cop should be stripped of his badge and investigated,” said Bergquam on-air. “He’s telling terrorists how to behave so Trump doesn’t send troops in. That’s dereliction of duty.”
It’s not just incompetence — it’s betrayal.
Standing Tall in the Crossfire
Bergquam knows the cost of telling the truth. He’s been threatened, stalked, and smeared — but his answer isn’t hatred. It’s faith.
“When I get death threats, I tell them Jesus loves them,” he said. “This is good versus evil. The devil versus God. My prayer every time I’m out there is to plant seeds — even among the lost.”
That’s what separates Bergquam and Sortor from the mobs they face. While Antifa chants for destruction, they stand for redemption. While radicals hide behind masks, they hold cameras and flags.
In a time when journalism too often means parroting the government line, these men are throwing themselves into chaos so the rest of us can see the truth.
The Real America’s Voice of the People
Bergquam didn’t just call out the Portland establishment , he called for accountability:
“This isn’t just about Antifa. It’s about the mayor, the governor, and everyone in between who’s funding, aiding, or enabling this domestic terror network. From the money men like Soros to the street thugs every one of them needs to be investigated.”
Even President Trump, along with Harmeet Dhillon and AG Pam Bondi, reportedly took notice. Their pressure, Bergquam says, helped push the DA to back off Sortor,proving once again that sunlight is still the best disinfectant.
Saving Portland and America
The left calls it “activism.” Patriots call it what it is — domestic terrorism. And Portland is the epicenter of that fight.
As Bergquam puts it, this battle is bigger than one arrest or one protest:
“We no longer have the United States of America. We have the Divided States. But that’s why we fight — so our daughters and wives don’t have to face these thugs. It’s our duty as freedom-loving Americans.”
That’s the message that drives him. That’s the mission of Frontline America and Law and Border.
When history looks back on this moment, it may not remember every protest or viral clip. But it will remember the people who refused to back down — who risked everything to expose the truth.
And when the dust settles, we’ll know exactly who stood tall when America needed defenders most.
Ben Bergquam. Nick Sortor. Patriots who walk into chaos so the rest of us can see clearly.
