Portland Antifa ‘Freya’ Arrested: Jennifer Bitgood Warrant for Gun & Coercion

Описание: Jennifer M. Bitgood (43 years old, previously known as Shawn Michael Bitgood, and using aliases including Freya Jode Bitgood / Freya Nebula Jade) was arrested by the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) on the evening of Saturday, January 10, 2026.

Official Details from PPB
According to the Portland Police Bureau's news release published early on January 11, 2026:
The arrest occurred during monitoring of protest activity in the South Portland Neighborhood near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
PPB activated an Incident Management Team, including the Rapid Response Team (RRT), Dialogue Liaison Officers (DLOs), Mobile Field Forces, Air Support Unit, and Sound Truck.
Bitgood was arrested on a warrant (case number 25-348901) for:
Unlawful Use of a Weapon (felony)
Coercion (felony)
This was one of two arrests reported that night; the other involved Hailey M. Knight (27) for Harassment related to pushing a PPB officer (from a separate incident on January 9).

The warrant suggests the charges stem from prior alleged conduct (possibly linked to threats or actions documented in late 2025 exposures), rather than an on-the-spot offense during the January 10 protest itself. No direct connection to the December 21, 2025 Mt. Tabor shooting incident was confirmed in the release, though earlier speculation existed.

Context from Online Coverage and Livestreams
Conservative X accounts and livestreamers (e.g., @conspiretard, Spider Mike, and others like @DivintyMary) captured and shared footage of the arrest in real time late on January 10 / early January 11. Posts describe Bitgood (referred to as "Freya Nebula Jade" or similar) being taken into custody alongside another individual ("Almond" or similar reference). These videos show masked protesters in the area, with PPB making targeted arrests amid ongoing ICE-related demonstrations. Right-leaning users celebrated it as accountability for prior threats (e.g., videos threatening ICE agents post the Renee Good shooting in Minneapolis, or statements against figures like Charlie Kirk).

Independent journalist Andy Ngo referenced the arrest shortly after, noting the felony charges and linking it to Bitgood's history of activism and prior doxxing/exposures (though he cautioned it may not directly tie to specific threat videos).

Broader Background
This arrest follows months of controversy:
Bitgood has been publicly identified since late 2025 (initially by Andy Ngo in November 2025) as a participant in Portland ICE protests, accused of stalking conservative activists, issuing threats, and other inflammatory online activity.
Aliases and name changes (Jennifer Michelle Bitgood, Freya Nebula Jade, etc.) have been highlighted in partisan discussions.
Sources remain polarized: Conservative media/X posts frame it as justice against "Trantifa"/Antifa-linked violence; left-leaning views often see the exposures as targeted harassment/doxxing.
