18 Arrested, Facing Federal Charges After Weeknight Protests at Federal Courthouse in Portland
All 18 defendants have made their first appearances in federal court and were ordered released pending jury trials or other follow-up court proceedings.
These cases are being jointly investigated the U.S. Marshals Service and Federal Protective Service. They are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.

arrests? let go? OMG....
Are the protests citywide or confined to a certain area?
How is the local mood (for lack of a better word) supportive in general, or is there opposition?
