Masked federal agents dressed like they are deploying to Desert Storm abducted someone tonight in Portland after piling out of an unmarked van by the ICE office. This behavior by unidentifiable agents is not unprecedented in our city.

St John’s Music Festival was fantastic, loved seeing the streets and venues packed out at night. Peter Krebs, The Quick & Easy Boys, Blue Cranes, Buddy Jay's Jamaican Jazz Band all highlights. Kudos to the organizers!
