Update — DHS RESPONDS:
Original story below…
A Portland-based Antifa group is reportedly planning to blast law enforcement helicopters with lasers, as the Trump administration attempts to carry out illegal immigration enforcement.
In a flyer for the event obtained by journalist Mike Shelby, the far-left anarchist group promotes an unlawful “laser tag” civil disobedience event urging supporters to shine hand-held laser pointers at helicopters.

“Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The only limit power knows is our refusal to submit. This Saturday, October 11th, you are invited to fight back. All you need is a laser,” the flyer states.
The flyer continues, “Leave home – they can see where the laser is coming from. Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up. Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party!”
“Let’s take back the night together! It won’t take many of us to ground the helicopters!” the promo concludes.
Of course, lasers can do much more than just ground the choppers, they could potentially blind the pilot possibly causing a crash in an urban area – hence why the illegal act is a federal crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
On their website, the group behind the flyer, Rose City Counter-Info, justified the tactic:
The spread of accessible acts of resistance, scattered around the city, can cause significant disruption while being difficult (if not outright impossible) to control. Actions that aim at destroying the capacity of our enemies to enforce control in simple and concrete ways can make more daring actions possible.
The Portland Police also use aerial surveillance to target protests and usually have one of their Cessna spy planes in the sky. In 2020 and 2021, PPB used the plane to target specific protesters for arrest. Let’s blind all the eyes in the sky!
During the uprising in Chile in 2019, lasers were used to take down a police drone. It is unlikely that a single laser would have much effect, but many working together can clearly blind cameras and sensors or even force the drone down to earth entirely.
They also gave followers additional tips on how to evade law enforcement and avoid being caught.
Lasers have the clear downside of being easily traced back to their source, especially from the air. If enough lasers are pointed at the aircraft, we think it will not be able to safely stay in the air for long enough to continue to pinpoint the source for law enforcement, and numbers will make it difficult to focus on a single person. Be ready to dispose of the laser if you need to- wear gloves and clean it with alcohol in case you have to toss it in a hurry. Consider taking precautions to keep DNA off of it as well.
The FBI notes that “knowingly aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is a felony offense carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine (18 U.S.C. 39A). Additionally, an individual can face as much as 20 years in prison for interference with an aircraft (19 U.S.C. 32).”
