The far-right demonstration was organized by members of the Proud Boys, whose founder has described it as a "fraternal organization" for young "Western chauvinist" men. The goal of the so-called "End Domestic Terrorism" rally, they said, was to get antifa, declared as a domestic terrorist organization.

Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, said such far-right organizations were "impacting the entire nation" by targeting women, minorities and immigrants with hate speech.

The Proud Boys released a statement Saturday vowing to return to Portland monthly unless the mayor "takes charge and removes the scourge of violent domestic terrorists from his city," a reference to antifa demonstrators.

"If they're going to come out here every single month until we do whatever they think" it would cost taxpayers millions of dollars for law enforcement, he said during the news conference.
The threat to return to Portland on a regular basis "feeds in to that sense of fear," Wheeler said.
"We do not want them here in my city, period," he said.
