Activists with an immigrant rights group protested outside Portland Mayor Keith Wilson’s home Saturday afternoon over a land use violation issued last year to the owner of the city’s ICE facility.

A Portland protest near the ICE facility escalated Saturday after federal agents deployed tear gas. A witness saw a young girl in distress and shared the video.

Thousands of protesters marched through South Portland and enveloped the blocks around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building Saturday, sparking now-familiar confrontations with federal agents.

Portland Police monitored a South Portland ICE protest, leading to four arrests without using crowd control munitions.

The rising demands follow a weekend protest where federal agents at the ICE building in Portland fired large amounts of tear gas at a crowd that included children.

A conservative counterprotester was sentenced to eight days in jail for knocking a woman to the ground at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland last fall. Mark Allen Lee pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault Monday under the terms of a deal with Multnomah County prosecutors.

On January 31, a coalition of more than 30 labor unions organized a rally and protest march from a nearby park. The event was attended by several thousand sign-waving supporters, including many families with young children and elderly people, who after listening to speeches from union leaders, walked unsuspectingly toward the ICE building.

Multnomah County jurors found that three men associated with the southwest Washington-based Patriot Prayer group owed $200,000 each to Abram Goldman-Armstrong, who owned the Northeast Portland bar where the fighting occurred. Jurors also awarded Goldman-Armstrong a total of $160,000 in punitive damages from the three men and a fourth defendant.
