There were reportedly two incidents of graffiti and egg-throwing by the protesters. Shortly after, Federal agents declared the event an unlawful assembly.
The federal agents including, DHS and BORTAC, rushed the protesters firing countless "less than lethal rounds," flashbangs, and canisters of OC and CS gas. The streets filled with thick white and yellow smoke while Federal agents fired indiscriminately into the gas.
Thread: Last night at the PDX ICE facility, the large crowd of protesters and Press were gassed countless times by Federal agents. This is a video of me receiving medical aid from medics. Before and during the video, I throw up multiple times. 1/

As stated in a previous tweet last night, there were around 200+ protesters at ICE last night. About a minute before the first rush from the feds, my gas mask broke. I went the entire night with no mask, inhaling everything that was used to disperse the crowd 2/

There were numerous gassings which included the use of CS, OC, and HC gas. My eyes immediately burned and my face was on fire. Multiple times I had to stop filming to run away from the gas which filled a city block. The first time gas was used, I started choking and threw up 3/
A short thread on the ICE protest last night in front of the ICE detention facility in SW Portland. Around 30 protesters gathered on Dec 19th to protest treatment on undocumented migrants in the US. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest

At Delta Park in Portland Oregon, the Proud Boys haveing been planning a rally here for weeks. An Antifascist rally is happening at Peninsula Park. #ProudBoys #Portland #deltapark #antifa #PortlandOregon
Lots of riot cops and state troopers in the surrounding area where the Proud Boys are and another counter rally near Vanport. #ProudBoys #Portland #deltapark #antifa #PortlandOregon
At the north entrance of Delta Park. Portland Police are staged there, across the way from the Proud Boys. #ProudBoys #Portland #deltapark #antifa #PortlandOregon
#PORTLAND: police just bull rushed through downtown to make mass arrests. Tear gas deployed too. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests
After standing off with protesters on 3rd and Main in #Portland, police jumped on a van and drove away as some protesters threw water bottles at them. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests
#PORTLAND: someone just threw a Molotov at Portland Police as officers moved in and declared the event an riot. #PortlandProtests #pdxprotest
There are cops everywhere. Why are these vehicles allowed ON THE ROAD WITH MASKED LICENSE PLATES? #PDXprotests #BLM #ProudBoys
Driving with a masked license plate in OR is a Class B traffic violation (currently $265) #PDXprotests #BLM #ProudBoys

In case we needed more evidence that cops side with the #proudboys crowd ... in Salem they had just rushed the #BLM protesters ... and had attacked at least one person.
But cops "pleaded with them"?
NO MASKS

Tonight, PPB declared an unlawful assembly at the MCSO, citing paintballs and other projectiles were being thrown at the building. The comparison in police response to earlier today has protester wondering if PPB has a bias that favors far-right groups.

I think that PPB has some sort of B-team of officers called "Delta". They were all over the place tonight. One of them can be seen here, running away from his line.

Another clip of team "Delta", giving conflicting orders. Some of them confront press, while another say to let press through.

I arrived at Irving Park just in time to hear “stay together stay tight! And the beginning of the “FUCK 12” chants, as a crowd of a few hundred moves into the street. I think we’re at night 86 of #blm and protests against racist policing in Portland. #PDXprotests
And for the first time since they started, I see umbrellas being used for keeping rain, rather than projectiles, off people’s heads. Weird.
“Out of your house and into the streets!” Chants the crowd. Before the gentrification of NE Portland, Irving Park was a major hub of protests in the 60s and 70s. And a bunch of those were, likewise, against racist policing.
#AbolishICE round 2 tonight
No ppb here but it’s being boarded up still
Some new flood lights have been added

@switchinbloc these are everything
This is the closest I can get to facts of what went down with the driver who was beaten in downtown Portland, culled from multiple videos and tweets. 1.) A white truck with the license plates removed starts weaving through the crowd, reportedly trying to hit people. #PDXprotests
2.) Some folks surround the vehicle, and the driver gets out willingly. He takes a few blows, and is on his knees, holding his cell phone. 3.) People get more aggressive with the blows, until he takes one to the dome and is knocked out.
4.) A woman on video was a passenger in the truck, and is sobbing hysterically. A man helps lead her away from the vehicle, and tells her that he was trying to hit people, and he got beat up. She doesn’t dispute this summary of events at all, but asks that they not rob his truck.
Currently in the park where the pipe bombs got thrown at us the first time. Let’s see what tonight has in store for us #Portland #PortlandProtests

It's been a while since I did an info thread... let's fix that. If we know where our efforts are being felt, we can more intentionally focus or broaden pressure on decision-makers.

Shame: This is where the majority of actions began two months ago, and is by far the most popular in the US. It's the most simple: You display the hypocrisy, cruelty, etc of a target in order to socially pressure them into agreeing with your demands. (2/)
Shame is effective against opponents who genuinely do want to be (or appear to be) good people, or whose power is dependent on social capital. Unfortunately, it can only get you so far the bigger you go, since some people cannot be shamed and have other capital. (3/)
Quite the fire going just down the street from the Portland Police Association. Overheard someone say, “Here we are 2020... here we are. End of the world.” Great start to the night. #PortlandProtests
Protestors have taken off the boarding on the PPA, Portland Police now declaring an unlawful assembly and telling people to leave immediately. #PortlandProtests
