Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Final update of the night most likely, just saw an ambulance going down the road towards the protest. An extreme night of violence by federal agents.

The Washington Republican Party supports the president ordering the National Guard into our state – what a shock.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Another extreme escalation. A protester was pinned and shouting in pain and calling for help, struggling to breathe with officers on top of them. Crowd was pushed down the block. 12 gauge flashbangs shot from shotgun I believe. Tons of gas. Residents in the area shouting from balconies that…

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

It’s so funny to hear people describe Portland as a war zone because they obviously sound like fascist losers whose children won’t call them back, but they also sound like massive weakling cowards.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

It's ridiculous that protestors have to take these measures to manage the authoritarians' fragile egos.

Federal agents in Portland shoved a protester to the ground and then fired pepper balls at another as they tried to help.

Safe to describe this as unnecessary force as they cleared the driveway.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.
