Overview

• The clothing-optional 'Emergency' ride set off from the Oregon Convention Center Plaza Sunday afternoon after organizers condemned militarization and harms to immigrant and Indigenous communities.
• Cyclists braved rain, staged a die-in on the Burnside Bridge, then rolled past the South Waterfront ICE facility as onlookers cheered.
• A separate daytime march brought a few hundred people to the ICE site to oppose President Donald Trump’s attempt to send National Guard troops to monitor the building.
• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut has twice blocked the planned deployments, writing that the country is governed by constitutional law, not martial law.
• The administration has appealed to the 9th Circuit, and Metro officials released a cheeky video urging respectful conduct as the convention center hosted other events.
