Honestly, it seems like a lot of people are just there to get a selfie with the frogs.

Sadly, KATU takes a 10 or 15-minute break every four hours, and that time is now. I was really glued to the plight of these frogs. They’re multiplying.

The right-wing influencers keep saying it’s crazier at night outside the Portland ICE facility and, well, chants of “frog! Frog! Frog!” have indeed broken out tonight.

Right now, the 9th Circuit is considering whether to allow troops to deploy to Portland's ICE facility. At this moment, looks like there are only Know Your Rights and a clergyperson outside.

Shout-out to the reporters who agreed to stand in front of a camera over night. I would be so embarrassed and scared I would accidentally/thoughtlessly pick my nose or anything. We salute you!

At 1 a.m., they reported there were only five people there, one of whom was picking up trash. Otherwise, so quiet this reporter looks bored.

“'War-ravaged' Portland was having an unseasonably sunny September day..a long line at the homemade bread stand, cherry trees still blooming..It was the kind of day [that] called for rosé, not federal force." @caseyparks.bsky.social on Trump's latest crusade www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Is Portland ‘War-ravaged’ as Trump claims? Here’s what residents say.

President Donald Trump had said living in Portland, Oregon, was like “living in hell.” Portlanders mostly met the news with confusion.
