Portland Closes Federal Courthouse Over Threats Of Domestic Terrorism

The federal courthouse in Portland at the center of conflict between mob rioters and sworn federal agents last month was closed Friday over threats that someone might drive a vehicle filled with explosives into the building.

Portland’s federal bankruptcy court and the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse were both shut down, the Oregonian reported, while anarchic protestors still threaten to terrorize the streets for an 86th night in a row. Another nearby building was also forced to close.

According to The Oregonian, a source familiar with the intelligence said didn’t say which building was the target. Two more buildings downtown, Standard Insurance and Standard Plaza, were also evacuated.
