Dhillon reported receiving several threats, which she attributes to &#8220;woke idiots,&#8221; including individuals associated with California Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s administration. This situation arises amid Dhillon&#8217;s ongoing probe into the Portland Police Department&#8217;s handling of protests at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prominent-epstein-accuser-reportedly-on-her-death-bed-after-serious-accident\/\" title=\"Prominent Epstein Accuser Reportedly on Her Death Bed After &#039;Serious Accident&#039;\">local police describe<\/a> the protests as mostly peaceful, some conservative voices claim the demonstrations are violent and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-bars-trumps-national-guard-from-stopping-la-riots\/\" title=\"Judge Bars Trump&#039;s National Guard from Stopping LA Riots\">warrant federal intervention<\/a>. The issue has also involved controversy over the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, which Governor Newsom criticized and a federal judge later blocked. Protests continue at the ICE facility, with multiple arrests made recently. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DOJ official probing Portland police refers &lsquo;woke idiots&rsquo; threats to US Marshals<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2365694\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/justice-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice Department<\/a> on Sunday revealed &ldquo;threats&rdquo; made against a leading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/doj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOJ<\/a> official are under investigation by U.S. marshals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon alleged in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AAGDhillon\/status\/1975018900325826851\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post<\/a> to X that she was the victim of threats, including several on Sunday evening.

The investigation targets authorities over their handling of ongoing protests at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local police have largely painted the protests as relatively mild. The Trump administration has framed them as violent demonstrations targeting law enforcement that necessitate federal intervention in the form of military troops. Dhillon&rsquo;s investigation into the Portland Police Bureau&rsquo;s &ldquo;questionable&rdquo; practices, announced Oct. 3, came amid conservative allegations that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/community-leader-killed-by-police-primed-to-be-the-next-george-floyd-until-the-body-cam-was-released\/\" title=\"&#039;Community Leader&#039; Killed by Pol...
