Ok I’m back at the protest, and there are some new bodies on the front line. ACLU legal observers now also on the scene. #OccupyICEPDX

Among this group of protesters who are now sitting in front of the police line is a person knitting. #OccupyICEPDX

The feds bring high-powered rifles, Portland brings a knitter. #OccupyICEPDX

This group went close to the ICE building on foot via Macadam, cops make them leave but protesters shout that that isn’t federal property. #OccupyICEPDX

One of these cops disagrees and tells a protester that they needs to look up DHS’ “jurisdiction

Scene from the anti-ICE protest in Portland. #OccupyICEPDX

And a new front opens up at the protest. #OccupyICEPDX

Police do acknowledge that this truck (with Washington plates) that pulled up to form a physical barrier is parked on private property right now. But the @DHSgov cop said they’ll move if they need to be moved.

I was standing there when @TheRealCoryElia asked one of the cops near the silver truck about this

This person in the street has a sign which reminds drivers hitting u-turns that @DHSgov blocked the road. #OccupyICEPDX

Bella Ciao.
#OccupyICEPDX

This person just called Portland Mayor @tedwheeler and left a message about illegally parked cars on SW Bancroft. Second call today, they say. #OccupyICEPDX

Saw this @DemSocialists shirt and I had to get a pic. It’s a takeoff of the D.A.R.E. anti-drug campaign. #OccupyICEPDX

Protesters outside the ICE building shout “that’s illegal!” as a car exits the lot with license plates obscured. #OccupyICEPDX

So I don’t see any cops with rifles or who wear cloths reminiscent of a soldier in a war zone like earlier. Makes sense because it’s not that kind of a protest. #OccupyICEPDX #OccupyICE

So this is what happens whenever a car enters or exits the SW Portland ICE compound. #OccupyICEPDX

Protesters are fortifying the camp next door to the ICE building. #OccupyICEPDX

A sign is out here calling for Portland Mayor @tedwheeler to take action. Is this or any variation of it even possible? #OccupyICEPDX

Statement from Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler re: #OccupyICEPDX

Some graffiti remains on the exterior of the ICE building.
