About 150 protesters gathered in front of the ICE facility in Portland as part of a call to action by an indigenous organizer, demanding the abolition of the agency created in 2002, whose dismantling would legally be within Biden’s direct jurisdiction.
Several targeted arrests of activists were made, with a member of the press also taken into custody by DHS before protesters dispersed for the night after being exposed to chemical weapons.
