Around 100 protesters in Portland gathered for an Abolish ICE protest in front of the local ICE facility in the city’s northeast, with many waving flags of the American Indigenous Movement. Police fired munitions and tear gas at protesters, forcing them to disperse before arrests were made.

Hundreds of Yellow Vests gathered in what would be dubbed as ‘Rainbow Bloc’ at the Council of State in solidarity with protesters arrested during the March of Liberties demonstration against the global security law in the previous week. Protesters were blocked from leaving the area by CRS riot police before being allowed through to the l’Amiral de Coligny street. The police then kettled the crowd for 40 minutes, causing many complaints before slowly letting protesters disperse.
DHS Police and ICE agents cracked down on an Abolish ICE protest in Portland but making dozens of mistakes in the process. Several (estimated 3) tear gas canisters went off inside a DHS agent’s backpack, and many police accidentally hit each other while opening fire on the crowd with pepper balls and rubber bullets. About 50 people attended the protest.
Thousands of bikers and protesters across the country gathered to blockade highways, railroads, and other means of transportation against the Piñera presidency and a lack of respect for its citizens, and a lack of accountability for police brutality. Barricades went up in Valparaiso, Santiago, Talcahuano, and many other cities.
Protesters in Britain, the United States, Canada, and Italy turned out in almost a dozen cities, including Toronto, Baltimore, Raleigh, New York, Nashville, Houston, Glasgow, and Napoli. Attendance ranged from the dozens to the thousands, with protests taking up large swaths of city squares.
