Federal agents arrested a Portland mother who was playing the “Ghostbusters” theme song on her clarinet at a protest outside an ICE facility.
Oriana Korol, 38, is a member of the Unpresidented Brass Band, which calls itself a “social action oriented, horn driven marching band,” and seeks to deescalate protest tensions. In a video of her arrest from Sunday, a federal agent can be seen violently dragging Korol to the ground, as two more agents come to his aid and her clarinet falls out of her hands.
She has been in Clark County Jail in Vancouver, Washington, since, and is still being held without bail.

The Portland Mutual Aid Network has called for Korol’s release, urging supporters to call the Clark County Jail.
