Downtown Portland at the federal courthouse, anti DHS/ICE and #StopLine3 protesters gather. A few of the remaining uncovered windows have been broken. An American flag burns in front of the door.
The glass door gets smashed and DHS agents unload pepper balls into the crowd.
After trying to extinguish the fire DHS agents headed back into the building. The fire grows once again.

DHS agents and feds in camo form a line at the edge of a park they just tear gassed horrifically.
The feds march even further into the streets of downtown Portland while firing off chemical weapons and projectiles. A few of their pepperball and 40 mm launchers appear to be malfunctioning.
