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.

This is CARNAGE
Matthew Brady, Antietam.
“Carnage.”
By definition, “carnage” requires the death of a large number of people for a single event. No one died. No carnage.
I’ll see your mayhem and raise you chaos. Maybe disorder.
If we’re not seeing a dozen or more bloodied dead bodies, it’s not carnage.
Start using real bullets.
Hundreds attacked a federal building yet only a couple of them were arrested? Why?
A tent city in Antarctica. This was no protest or demonstration, it was a riot.
Even moreso, an image of the train box boxcars at Auschwitz.
BTTT!!!
This will never stop until lethal means are used to put these riots down.
Shoot the bastards! They’ll stop.
Interesting how this is not an anti- government rebellion. It seems its only an armed rebellion when unarmed republicans do it.
All those teachers & professors have nothing better to do in the summer.
Alaska’s Aleutian Islands - they can eat the mosquitos, noseeums, and flies, while the very hungry and skinny black bears can eat them - a low maintenance prison environment.
In Rio Bravo and many others the mob wanted to force their way in to get the bad guys out.
Can’t let that happen.
Apparently CA, WA and OR want to be separated from American laws. “Sanctuaries.”
If this is tolerated then how can America survive?
Great point.
They have a goal in mind.
Yes indeed...
Where is Joe McCarthy when we, again, need him?
Start posting and abiding by this notice.
ICE should be using some of the weapons I have in Assassins Creed Shadows.
every one of them needs to be charged the same way J6 protestor were!!!
