Could it be that most of the violent men are allready MAGA?

So Democratic protesters will not be baited? I'm saying the anarchists might be MAGA because Trump likes to break things too. Those that are criminals I doubt would show up to a Demonstration. Maybe some of those that were itching to do some bruising signed up with ICE.

Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Is Black Bloc there every night? No idea.

But Rightist Provocateurs are showing up every night at Portland ICE to provoke and film the results and scream it over the Right Wing Noise Machine the next morning.

The Left's alternative is to forego protest and let ICE operate at will. It's a lose-lose proposition - by design.
