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
Dec 19th 9:22PM: DHS agents from the Federal Protective Service came out of the building twice and arrested 2 protesters, this is the first. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest
One protester sang disparaging songs at responding DHS agents and played the ukelele. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest
Protesters placed trash on the driveway throughout the night, DHS agents came out to clear the path when vehicles had to enter. Banter ensues. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest
Dec 19th 1022PM: At one point, plants were used as obstacles. DHS agents within declared a riot shortly after in response. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest
A final bullrush targeted arrest. The second protester was arrested. Witnesses say it might have been the "gardener" who placed the plants in front of the driveway, but no one I asked was sure. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #ICEprotest
