A skirmish between protesters and a right-winger broke out. PPB has detained two people on disorderly conduct and is interviewing them. More could be arrested and possibly have different charges.
Currently unclear how the incident started.

Right-wing agitators at the Portland ICE facility appear to have committed multiple illegal acts on Saturday night.
Not included in this video is the crowd going to a resident’s apartment across from the ICE facility and live-streaming their harassment.

Quite a few right-wing media people out right now. Lots of throwing insults under the covered area. Cam Higby (guy on the left) has thrown at least one person’s sign and flag.

There’s Federal Bureau of prisons has agents here now as well. Also, one agent on the roof is aiming a rifle down at people that came to the side of the facility. I suspect it has rubber bullets, but no way to say for sure.

One arrest by federal agents at the ICE facility. No clear reason—protesters did not cross the blue line. One officer shot less lethals for ~30 seconds, even as the person he was aiming at crossed the street and went down to the intersection. He appeared to laugh/smile while doing so.

Protesters have marched to the ICE facility. I count five federal agents on the roof with various less-lethal weapons. Still over 100 protesters despite wind and rain.

Portland ICE Facility 7:30PM: Tons of gas and flashbangs shot/thrown out, including right by me. Feds fired through a thick cloud of teargas. Hard to believe they could see through it when they were shooting stuff out.

ICE is likely surveilling protesters’ phones in Portland using fake cellphone towers, aka stingrays.

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…

Feds on the roof just threw teargas within a couple feet of me. Loud explosion. They seemingly threw it because a couple people were sitting on the little wall in front of the facility.

Portland police arrested a right-wing agitator at the ICE facility. Protesters say this man punched a woman in the face on video. I’ll update if I see the video, but it seems very likely given how fast PPB responded and what everyone is saying.

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.

Feds arrest one person at the Portland ICE facility at around 7:30. The reason is again unclear, but it was likely for stepping over the blue line. They were dragged into the facility by five agents while one filmed.

ICE is asking to be sued if they keep shooting pepper balls from the roof.
They hit an unarmed priest in the head in Chicago. A woman in Boston was killed by Boston police when she was shot in the eye by a pepper pellet in 2004.
