The building’s entryway, which has been the site of repeated protests, was covered with graffiti and messages condemning ICE. A makeshift barricade assembled from pallets, electric scooters, a dumpster and other items covered a gated driveway into the facility.

Later in the evening, protesters and onlookers told OPB some people threw fireworks at the building, and others ignited a small fire near the driveway barricade. Shortly after that, Portland police officers on bicycles and members of the bureau’s Rapid Response Team arrived.

The Portland Police Bureau said in a release early Friday morning that 10 people were arrested for charges including arson, interfering with a peace officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered Thursday evening to protest increased immigration enforcement policies under the Trump administration.

Demonstrations in Portland had begun ramping up in response to events in Los Angeles last week. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump deployed thousands of National Guard members to L.A. to quell protests, despite objections from California officials. A number of protests have since cropped up across the country, including up and down the West Coast.

Thursday night’s protest in Portland began as largely peaceful demonstrations, with music and chanting.

Portland police officers formed a line that spanned the street in front of the ICE building, but they did not appear to go onto the federal property.

Just after 1 a.m., PPB loaded into a van and left the area as the lingering crowd cheered.

Groups of protesters began to leave the area after Portland police drove off. A smaller group stayed and resumed their protest directly outside the gate and front entrance of the ICE building.

Within minutes, federal officers began firing crowd control munitions into the remaining group from the roof of the building. That pushed the demonstrators away from the barricade at the entrance.
This is how it works infiltrators enter the groups and start agitating and the peaceful start leaving local police start leaving and the violence escalates. Just like the summer of love 2020. It's all planned and organized.
