Several of the people who camped for weeks this summer outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building resumed protesting outside City Hall Sunday evening.
They posted signs on the courtyard with slogans reading: "Portland Stands With Immigrants" and "No Wall."
Police moved them onto the sidewalk and occupiers say they’re deciding what to do next.
Dusty Martinez said he plans to keep protesting outside Portland City Hall in the hope of abolishing ICE.

A man who gave his name as Dusty Martinez, who is unemployed, said he’ll stay.
“My plan from here would be, basically keep coming back and just show them that they can’t get rid of us. They can’t ignore us and if they want us to stop making noise and pointing out what’s wrong with the community, then they need to fix the community,” he said.
About a dozen activists remained on the sidewalk by mid-morning Monday.
Among other things, they’re calling for the abolishment of ICE, and the reunification of families split up by the immigration service.
