Chaos erupted at an ICE detention facility in Portland, Oregon after hundreds of protesters attempted to storm holding cells.
Demonstrators were seen being tackled to the ground as officers deployed smoke bombs and tear gas to try and control the crowd yesterday.
Dramatic footage posted on X by independent journalist Katie Daviscourt shows flares lighting up the night sky, as protesters clash with officers in riot gear who appeared to fire rubber bullets into the crowd.
The demonstration occurred on the 28th day that protesters have been occupying the ICE facility in protest over Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Daviscourt confirmed the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and that several arrests were made. Daily Mail has contacted Portland Police Department for details.
The mayhem Friday broke out just hours after the President signed his so-called 'big, beautiful bill' into law - a sweeping $150 billion package that boosts funding for the border wall, ICE enforcement and deportations, while slashing Medicaid.
In downtown Portland, protesters staged a dramatic ‘die-in’ at Pioneer Courthouse Square, two miles from the ICE facility, to protest the brutal Medicaid cuts tucked inside Trump’s bill.
'They don't need more money and they're taking money away from things that we really actually need,' protester Mary Vanzant told local CBS affiliate KOIN 6 News.

Let them in and lock the doors.
I bet there is room for them in Florida.

It’s not a protest. It’s not even a mere riot.
Sooner or later there’s going to be a need to deal harshly with the anarchists.
We need to open a federal prison for Antifa—in Antarctica.
Greenland 👍
Lots of room. Lots.
Too bad they do not use the German Shepherds on 35’ leashes anymore. It was quite a sight back in the day.
Oregon has crater lake. Two rings of barbed wire along the rim should hold them. Plenty of room. Since they like to fight they can fight over food.
Carnage? The headline is a bit hyperbolic.
Sounds like an insurrection.
Carnage? The headline is a bit hyperbolic.
Not bad. When I worked in Portland I visited.
Do the fish have laser beams???😉
Carnage? Have words lost all meaning? I’ll give ‘em “mayhem,” but carnage? Please....
I’m beyond sick and tired of Democrat Foot Soldiers getting treated with kidd gloves.
They are ENEMY COMBATANTS. Treat them as such.
Start with water guns and tear gas and if that doesn’t work..........look out all bets off.
“brutal Medicaid cuts”
For a overseas newspaper, the DailyMail sure likes some hyperbole.
Crater Lake is nice. Put ‘em on a lava flow, somewhere in E Oregon.
I hear the north shore is particularly beautiful in the winter.....
Send Marines…
