Federal officers made several arrests of people Saturday afternoon outside the federal ICE facility after dispensing teargas as hundreds gathered to protest.
The site has been a flashpoint for nightly protests opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement actions, including a plan to send hundreds of National Guard troops to Portland.
The day began with a march from Elizabeth Caruthers Park to the ICE facility organized primarily by Portland Contra Las Deportaciones (PDXCD), reports KOIN TV.
Several journalists and others posted video of arrests and other activity outside the ICE facility.
Beware rough language from protesters:
