Leading up to Oct. 30, the night before Halloween, the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front announced that it would be holding an event that same night.
"Tricks and treats in Portland this weekend!" The organization wrote in a tweet, noting the time and date that the "Devil's Night Bash" would take place.
A flyer instructed those invited to "wear black, bring a friend and a trick up your sleeve" to Colonel Summers Park at 8 pm. On the night of the event, however, it was reported by The Post Millennial's Editor-at-Large, Andy Ngo, that the Portland police had come out in full force to stop the planned violence.

"In an unusual turn of events, @PortlandPolice turned up in numbers to surveil the #antifa Halloween direct action & prevent planned mass violence. Antifa is furious they were pulled over & forced to show the driver's ID. Multiple were issued citations for hiding license plates," wrote Ngo on Twitter.

"Tonight, PPB's tactic was protest suppression & fear-mongering. They targeted ppl & pulled them over to take down info & instill fear. I got pulled over with an excessive # of cops on me, 3 bulls-t citations, it was very targeted. There were cops everywhere circling the park," another Twitter user wrote.
