Protests

The protests were part of a nationwide movement and marked the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’ death.

Court records show a more nuanced picture of what federal officers have been facing.

Some Oregonians joined protesters in other U.S. cities on Sunday to demonstrate against President Donald Trump’s decision to launch military strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran.

Wilson joined OPB's "Think Out Loud" to discuss his plans for executing this final budget, the Portland police's role in protests and the possibility of National Guard troops in the city.

“Portland has not requested and does not require the intervention of the National Guard,” Mayor Keith Wilson said in the statement Sunday.

Tense demonstrations outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland were declared a riot Saturday as federal officers once again faced off with protesters.

Officials with the city of Portland and Multnomah County are imploring for peace from people who plan to participate in nationwide protests this weekend against the Trump administration’s deportation tactics.

Dozens of demonstrations are scheduled for Saturday across Oregon and Southwest Washington, in protest of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Protests against immigration enforcement raids have erupted across the U.S., from Los Angeles to cities like Seattle and Austin, leading to clashes with law enforcement.

OPB reached out to local and state officials in Oregon, as well as Portlanders who protested in 2020, to find out what they learned from the federal law enforcement deployment during that time and what it might mean if tensions rise locally.
