Protesters decide to surround ICE facility in Portland – a horrible idea, because the feds don’t have to put up with them

Protesters decide to surround ICE facility in Portland – a horrible idea, because the feds don’t have to put up with them 1

PORTLAND, OR – Protesters in Portland decided to form a crowd outside of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Center in South Portland during the evening of October 17th.

While there wasn’t any true-to-form rioting that most have become accustomed to in Portland, it seems that the protesters can’t grasp the notion that they’re not supposed to be holding their protests on federal property.

So, as a result of the defiance to disperse from the federal property, they were met with force from federal agents from the ICE facility.

In a series of tweets that came from the Portland Police Bureau during the protests that evening, it appears that local authorities were aware of the gathering and were addressing the crowd that had gathered:

“A mass gathering has formed in the South Portland Neighborhood and federal law enforcement has interacted with the crowd. Portland Police are there assisting in making loudspeaker announcements to the crowd.”

“Again we apologize for the announcements as we attempt to communicate with a group that has acted out violently towards federal officers.”

Apparently, the PPB that were dispatched to the area made attempts to warn the crowd that had gathered that no matter what their grievances are – demonstrators cannot congregate on said federal property:

“To those gathered near the Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Building:  The ICE Building and its property is closed to the public. Do not enter or remain upon the property, its landscaping or walkways.”

“You must also move off of the roadways. All roadways in Portland’s South Waterfront remain open to vehicular traffic.  Move to the sidewalk now. Failure to adhere to this order may subject you to arrest, citation, or the use of crowd control agents.”

Obviously, the protesters didn’t heed the warning from the PPB.

In a bizarre act, protesters tried tying balloons to one of the exterior gates of the ICE facility. In the background of some of the captured video, you can hear the loudspeaker announcements presumably coming from the PPB informing the crowd that they’re not supposed to be on/at the ICE facility.

Well, federal agents emerged from the gated area where protesters were affixing balloons – and greeted the protesters with what appears to be a jetted-stream of perhaps pepper or OC spray. While it’s perhaps not the best optics, it’s not as though the crowd wasn’t warned.

In fact, one of the final tweets delivered by the PPB during the evening’s antics specifically ended with “Stay off of the ICE Building Property and roadways.” Concise directions can’t get any clearer than that.

Videos have since circulated of federal agents deploying the likes of some sort of less-lethal munitions, possibly pepper balls. Agents also used dispersal methods that included what local press members described as a “smoke gun” – which is probably the best way to describe what was used.

From all accounts related to the evening, the entire evening appears to have just involved a gathering outside of the ICE facility where protesters were explicitly told to not gather at and culminated in federal agents dispersing the area.

Aside from the aforementioned, there’s currently no reports of any criminal damage or true-to-form rioting. If any arrests were enacted that evening, police officials have not reported on them.

However, it seems as though there no one was taken into custody based upon preliminary reports.

PORTLAND, OR – On the evening on October 10th, a protest was once again staged outside of the Portland Police Bureau North Precinct, which predictably resulted in blocked roadways and arrests.

According to authorities, 26 individuals were arrested under charges ranging from disorderly conduct to even concealed weapons violations.

A crowd of roughly 75 people had gathered at approximately 9:30 p.m. on the 10th at Alberta Park on 1905 Killingsworth Street and began heading toward the PPB North Precinct.

Police said those among the crowd were mostly adorned in all black clothing, with some wearing helmets, hoisting umbrellas and carrying shields.

Per standard procedure, those among the crowd were warned that any sort of criminal activity or continued blocking of roadways would result in anything from arrests, citations and crowd control agents.

Apparently, many from the crowd didn’t heed the warning from police, and officers began to clear the road inhabited and also started to make some targeted arrests.

Those arrested during the demonstration, and their alleged offenses, are as follows:
