Demonstrators in Portland clash with police outside ICE building
The violent riots in Portland have been unfolding for six months and even the shift of the presidential administration is not going to change the situation.
On Saturday, the demonstrators clashed with authorities when surrounded a federal immigrations and Customs Enforcement building in the city. Police eventually used tear gas to clear out the area.
“No borders! No nations! Abolish deportations!” the group of dozens chanted outside an ICE facility in the City of Roses.
“No borders. No nations. Abolish deportation!“

Federal Protective Service of the Department of Homeland Security declared an “unlawful assembly” around 10 p.m. local time.
I'm at ICE again.

As the march was leaving the park a Portland Street car came up from behind, the crowd parted to let the streetcar through. For a few short blocks a Portland bureau of transportation SUV followed the protest making sure no cars could get near the crowd. Weird. pic.twitter.com/NopLj8W2tZ
There is no information about any arrests made.
“If you trespass on federal property with a weapon . . . you will be arrested,” a recording played to the crowd additionally warned.
