Overview

  • Federal agents deployed rubber bullets, tear gas, flash bangs and smoke grenades to disperse demonstrators who attempted to block ICE vehicles near the Macadam Avenue facility.
  • Protesters rolled a dumpster in front of the entrance and set off fireworks before the federal response intensified.
  • The rally, first held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, was organized to support a Newberg vineyard worker arrested by ICE and detained in Tacoma, Washington.
  • Portland Police Bureau officers remained on site solely for public safety without participating in immigration enforcement.
  • Local media report over 20 arrests since the demonstrations began on June 6, including two individuals cited by Portland police for directing a laser pointer at officers and criminal trespass.
