ICE Facility Protests: Multiple Reports of Tear Gas Use and Calls for Removal

Protesters in downtown Portland, Oregon, have clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, resulting in reports of tear gas use. The demonstrations began near City Hall and proceeded to the ICE facility, with hundreds taking part.

According to reports, protesters were tear-gassed by ICE agents, causing concerns among local residents who live nearby. Tenants living close to the facility have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging that the tear gas clouds their homes.

The Mayor of Portland has called for ICE to leave the city, following the incident. A delegation led by Senator Ron Wyden has also urged DHS to remove federal agents from Portland.

Protesters marched from City Hall to the ICE facility, with some reports indicating that streets were shut down during the procession. The exact number of protesters is not specified in available reports.

The incident has sparked a response from local authorities and advocacy groups, with calls for ICE’s removal from the city growing louder.
