Journalist Katie Daviscourt Questions Lack of 'Middleton' Arrest Amidst Renewed Antifa Intimidation

Portland, OR – Journalist Katie Daviscourt, known for her reporting on Antifa activities in the Pacific Northwest, has publicly alleged a renewed escalation of violence and intimidation against her, specifically referencing the return of an individual identified only as "Middleton." In a social media post on August 25, 2025, Daviscourt questioned why an arrest had not yet been made in connection with this individual’s presence.

Daviscourt stated in her tweet, "> This would explain Antifa’s escalation of violence/intimidation against me the past few days: Middleton has returned to the scene. Why has an arrest not been made yet?" The announcement comes as Daviscourt has frequently reported on and claimed to be a target of Antifa groups in cities like Seattle and Portland.

The journalist, who contributes to outlets such as Rebel News and The Post Millennial, has previously detailed numerous incidents of alleged harassment, including physical assaults, doxxing, property damage, and intimidation tactics. These claims often involve attempts to disrupt her reporting on protests and activist movements.

The precise identity of "Middleton" remains unconfirmed in public records related to Daviscourt's reporting. While a "Matthew Middleton" was arrested in Portland in September 2020 on riot-related charges, it is unclear if this is the individual Daviscourt refers to, or if there are more recent developments concerning this person.

The call for an arrest follows closely on the heels of another significant development in Daviscourt's reporting. Just two days prior, on August 23, 2025, Daviscourt herself reported via social media that John Colin Hacker, an Antifa militant whom she has frequently covered and accused of harassment against herself and colleagues, was arrested by Oregon State Police for a probation violation. The timing of these events suggests an ongoing and complex legal landscape surrounding activist movements and journalistic coverage in the region.
