Portland has been a center of violent clashes between the Proud Boys and antifa activists following the killing of George Floyd in May 2020.
Sunday's demonstrations took place on the anniversary of a clash that became violent between right- and left-wing protesters in Portland following Floyd's death.Members of the Proud Boys clash with anti-fascist activists following a far-right rally on August 22, 2021 in Portland, Oregon.The term"antifa" is short for"antifascist" and followers of the movement are focused on going against the view of those they deem fascist or white supremicist.
The 2018 CRS report said antiracist groups in the U.S., such as Anti-Racist Action , that took up antifa ideology in the late 1980s"embraced the international movement's provocative and occasionally criminal—even violent—tactics. The antifa movement in the U.S. became more prominent after violent clashes between white supremacists and their opponents in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, 2017.
However in September 2020, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation , Christopher Wray, said that while antifa activists were a serious concern, noting it was a"real thing," he clarified it is"not a group or an organization. It's a movement or an ideology," the Associated Press reported at the time.
