More anti-ICE riots squashed…
Federal agents fired rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bangs Wednesday night to break up a crowd of protesters who tried to block law enforcement vehicles at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon.
The chaotic clash, captured on video by Turning Point USA’s Frontlines, showed agents using non-lethal force as demonstrators swarmed the compound.
It marked the latest in a string of volatile protests outside the ICE building in the self-declared sanctuary city—unrest that has simmered for more than a week.
From Fox News:
Hundreds of mostly masked protesters had marched on the streets before sunset, some holding signs reading “Nobody is illegal on stolen land” and “Protect immigrants and refugees.” Several were wearing keffiyehs, a symbol often associated with left-wing protest movements.
They then gathered outside the Macadam Avenue building and could be seen trying to block the entrance.
As nighttime fell, tensions escalated and protesters rolled a dumpster in front of the ICE entrance, prompting a barrage of non-lethal blast balls being fired by law enforcement on a rooftop, per the video.
Despite multiple warnings to disperse, the protesters refused to leave. Officers in riot gear then advanced, firing munitions while tear gas filled the air, forcing the group to eventually retreat. Homeland Security cited the need to clear the area so several government vehicles could exit safely.
Smoke grenades were launched at riot police, who responded with overwhelming force to break up the protest.
