As the year 2026 unfolds in Portland, Oregon, a tragic case emerges that underscores the consequences of importing Third World practices, the ineffectiveness of restraining orders, and the misguided actions of "defund the police" advocates.
This case revolves around Mohamed Adan, a man with a history of violence who was released from jail by a Portland bail fund, only to later murder his girlfriend, the mother of his children.
The brutal killing of Racheal Abraham, who was stabbed and strangled by her abusive boyfriend while he was out on bail, highlights the dangers of such lenient policies. According to RedState, Adan had been incarcerated for assaulting Abraham in August 2022, but a now-defunct group of police abolitionists facilitated his release.
"The Portland Freedom Fund, thinking it knew better than law enforcement professionals, decided to bail him out," stated senior prosecutor Melissa Marrero during Adan's sentencing hearing. "It cost her her life."
Racheal Abraham, originally named Rachael Angel Manwarren, had converted to Islam, possibly influenced by Adan. Her tragic fate was not unforeseen, as she had previously expressed her fears. In May 2022, after Adan attacked her while under the influence of drugs, she pleaded with a judge to keep him in custody. "Statistics show that strangulation cases lead to homicide," she warned in a court statement. "I dont want to be a victim."
Despite her pleas, Adan was granted bail, a decision that remains puzzling given the severity of his actions. Judge Jerry Hodson allowed his release, imposing a no-contact order and a GPS ankle monitor, both of which proved ineffective. Adan promptly removed the monitor, rendering the court's orders meaningless.
The Portland Freedom Fund, which played a pivotal role in Adan's release, bears significant responsibility for this tragedy. Independent journalist Andy Ngo reported that the fund, linked to Antifa, had previously bailed out individuals with violent histories. "The Antifa-linked Portland bail fund freed this Somali. Five days later, he stabbed & strangled to death a mother of three," Ngo noted.
The fund was established by Amanda Lea Trujillo, a far-left activist involved with other controversial organizations. Trujillo's group had also posted bail for Malik F. Muhammad, a convicted Antifa militant. Such actions raise serious concerns about the priorities and judgment of these activist groups.
The case of Mohamed Adan serves as a stark reminder of the limitations of restraining orders and GPS monitors. Individuals like Adan disregard these measures, continuing their violent behavior unchecked. Fortunately, Abraham's children remain physically unharmed, though they face an uncertain future without their mother.
Ultimately, Adan received a life sentence with the possibility of parole in 25 years. Given his history of escalating violence, many argue that he should never be released. The involvement of a far-left group in supporting such individuals only exacerbates the problem.
This tragedy was avoidable, yet it occurred due to lenient policies and misguided activism. As long as such approaches persist, similar incidents are likely to continue, posing a threat to public safety and undermining the rule of law.
