Portland State University remains shut down due to a violent siege by far-left extremists and Antifa at the university's main library. The university has been closed since Monday, with the situation escalating to include assaults outside the library and destruction of property. The university president announced that PSU will meet all demands of the occupiers, including no pressing charges, monetary compensation, and expansion of DEI initiatives, in exchange for them vacating the premises. Meanwhile, Antifa has also targeted downtown Portland, damaging businesses including a Starbucks and Gucci store at Pioneer Courthouse Square, and the campus public safety office. The police have been ordered to clear out the protesters, but no arrests have been reported. Additionally, Antifa organized a May Day gathering, threw an m80 explosive at the public safety office, and left messages for Gaza at the damaged Starbucks.
