Weird that the Eugene police department claims to have no involvement in federal activity, but happened to open up hiring for more officers on their Mobile Response Team in the midst of recent protests to ICE. Posted January 30th.

Democrats are seeking "reforms" like bodycams for federal agents (so they have more footage to make commercials promoting mercenary violence), marked ICE vehicles (so we can't pressure car rental agencies), stricter codes of conduct (while thousands of bounty hunters go on terrorizing us).
Garbage.

So, recap: A candlelight vigil for #AlexPretti led by nurses and attended by elected officials across #LaneCountyOR was interrupted by DHS agents, lots of flash bangs, PepperBalls, and tear gas.
Now, there is talk that the Eugene Police are on the way.

This is the moment DHS agents came out of the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR and flashbanged, PepperBalled, and tear gassed a nurse-led Candlelight Vigil for #AlexPretti with #LaneCountyOR elected officials supposedly in the crowd.

Getting reports that things have escalated again - agents on the roof are deploying pepper balls, there has been tear gas and multiple detentions, and one person was attacked and injured by a chud who showed up.
At the federal building in Eugene Oregon, ICE officers rushed the group vigil, Singing for Our Lives. They dragged two protesters inside, and pepper sprayed the crowd.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Portland last night, Saturday Jan 24th.
Thread from the ICE facility in Portland last night:
People rallied after border patrol executed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Early in the night some barricades were put up against the gate where the feds typically come out of, including a dumpster that got rolled over.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.
Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.
