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 feds are cowards. This was the most violent event I’ve seen.

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…

Maybe you could post an up to date report on the Feds assaulting protesters and the media with extra intensity tonight at the ICE facility???
I'd like to know about that not this acronym stupidity.

Rubber bullets can severely hurt or even kill someone when shot right at them.

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Flashbangs also thrown out possibly. One person filming had their phone shot.

I can’t say who, but a credible source said they saw the video and that this person definitely punched a woman in the head.

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.

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

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 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.
