Overview

• Snopes and AFP reported on October 10 that the widely shared image does not show Portland, identifying Toronto Police Service uniforms and geolocating the scene to 40 College Street.
• Reverse image searches show the photo has circulated online since at least 2013–2014, despite recent posts claiming it depicted Portland protesters taunting ICE agents with doughnuts.
• Getty captions and archival reporting tie the Toronto image to demonstrations following the 2013 death of Sammy Yatim.
• Portland has hosted recurring protests at an ICE facility since June, and separate user-posted clips appear to show similar doughnut stunts there, though the recording date has not been independently confirmed.
• The photo’s resurgence comes during a legal battle over federal immigration enforcement in Oregon, where a judge on October 4 temporarily blocked President Trump’s plan to federalize 200 National Guard troops to protect federal agents.
