Rioters vandalized several buildings in downtown Portland, Ore., on Saturday night in one of the largest protests in weeks, according to reports.
Around 150 people marched through Portland’s Pearl District in what’s called a "direct action" event, smashing windows of businesses like Starbucks, Chipotle, Umpqua Bank and Urban Pantry and tagging them with graffiti, KION-TV in Portland reported.
One vandal wrote "banks suck" on Umpqua Bank’s façade, a Portland Tribune reporter tweeted.
The marchers were protesting the Biden administration’s immigration policy and the federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The White House received progressive pushback this month when it reopened a Texas shelter meant to house unaccompanied teenage migrants. Amid the blowback, the administration has claimed the shelter "won't stay open very long."
Ahead of Saturday's unrest, several Portland business owners had boarded up their storefronts in anticipation of the planned protest, FOX 12 in Portland reported.
"We have removed everything that could possibly cause damage tonight," Jim Rice, owner of Fields Bar and Grill, told the station. The restaurant was already damaged on Friday. It was unclear if it suffered any further damage Saturday.
"When these people come through, and we've lost an entire day of business which means that's impacting my team member's wages. This has been going on for nine months," he continued. "Where are our resources? When do we get enough resources to finally go after and fix this?"

They want free-roaming illegals ...and Americans locked down.
The illegals would probably fight the antifa biden supporters. “Amigo - why you break the Chipotle window?”
Is this an insurrection?
Call it what it is - the Antifa/BLM mob has effectively stymied every other acting government everywhere they have established dominance.
The Harris/Biden regime is holding on for dear life in regards to the raging Antifa/BLM mob they have loosed in various localities, and it is only a matter of time until the real reason for enforcing the boundaries around the White House and the Capitol becomes obvious. And it isn’t for the “right-wing” terrorists.
Buyer’s remorse liberal crowd.
Soros was going to cut the apron strings sooner or later. Obama’s army is getting restless. And this won’t end well.
And yet the fbi will ignore them and garland will not personally assist in their prosecution.
We have a criminal government.
I am sure the FBI will continue to turn a blind eye to the real domestic terrorist threat in this country (i.e. Antifa and BLM). This only makes it clear that when a country has two unequal systems of justice, you have tyranny.
Now the business owners are frustrated? I’m so sorry!
Last profitable small business in Portlandia, turn off the lights.
Soros is outbidding local business owners for the control of the local politicians—so it is burn, burn, burn time....
Bribes work—local businesses are gonna have to “invest” big time in buying the local politicians—and police protection.
The fbi is still celebrating getting those dogs back. Can’t wait for that reality show.
My daughter told me about some brain addled friends of hers who liked Trump but said they were voting for Biden because then the riots would stop.
I told her that the vermin would continue rioting because they smelled blood and weakness and only direct force would stop them.
My daughter is a strong conservative but some of her friends are just kind of stupid.
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
as long as they do their stuff at night it’s ok according to Garland.
And I’m sure they were all wearing masks.

People are going to have to take matters into their own hands for any of this to stop...
It won’t happen...
