There has been an occupation of the streets outside the Portland ICE facility for months by the anti-ICE crew.
Over that time, there’s been violence as well as harassment of the agents and the residents of the neighborhood. A resident even brought a lawsuit against the city because of the disruption. People walking through the area were treated to the vile sayings spewed all over the buildings. The actions have largely gone uncovered by the national media. However, there has been great work from brave journalists on the ground for months, including Katie Daviscourt and Shelly Boufferache (@hunnybadgermom), and we’ve covered some of their reporting.
