Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a small Oregon city turned violent on Friday night, prompting President Donald Trump to threaten to send more manpower to protect federal property around the country.
The protest in Eugene, a city roughly 110 miles south of Portland, was part of yesterday's 'National Shutdown,' meant to be a nationwide rallying cry to demand ICE leave cities.
In Eugene, protesters gathered outside a federal building at around noon, with many of them holding signs showing their distaste for the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategies.
As day turned into night, federal officers began intermittently deploying tear gas and other irritants against the protesters.
At around 9pm, the Eugene Police Department declared the protest a riot, citing the fact that some rally attendees had breached the federal building, which contains an IRS office among other agency offices.
Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said there were not many federal agents to protect the building, necessitating his officers to come to help prevent property damage.
By around 10.15pm, tear gas pellets were deployed in the courtyard outside the building, which largely forced protesters to evacuate the area. Eugene Police did not make any arrests.
On Saturday afternoon, Trump called the protesters in Eugene 'highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists,' adding that he has instructed ICE and Border Patrol to be 'very forceful' in protecting federal government property.

Hopefully, the anti-ICE haters will get pissed and burn Portland down. The mayor won’t GAS.
More threats
Democrats are raging for another Kent State.
And by such action, they are completely, 100%, beyond the shadow of a doubt validating Trump’s actions.
They should use Skunk, and maybe some harmless indelible dye.
“ And by such action, they are completely, 100%, beyond the shadow of a doubt validating Trump’s actions.”
They are not fighting to make a point.
They are fighting to seize power.

worth repeating
Liberal politics IS violence and they will not/cannot walk back from what they have been doing.
The President's statement yesterday, has put the ball in the governor's court. Walz is right in between the President and his 'rent-a-mob' friends!
I have said right from the start, 'Don't engage these mindless, destructive idiots.' Withdraw and let them do their worst. Withhold all Fed. support and services, etc. until/unless these cities have had enough.
Once the illegals know they won't be challenged in that state, it will turn into the most insufferable s*&thole and the citizens will HAVE to ask for help...or leave!
And they know it, and we (here on FR and other conservatives) know it, and it seems that Trump knows it, too.
Home of U of Oregon so naturally a communist hotbed.

10,000 votes would change the state to Red.
Thanks.
Someone could attract more GOP voters by policy and accomplishments. The other way is to reduce the number of woke voters. Deportations in other states but won’t work in Oregon. But since the Population Bomb and other popular books I have always liked the idea of fewer people around.
Doonesbury had a sequence about yuppies in the 1980s. A government official consulted with a tech expert who said “We have software now that can identify from the air the areas it senses have higher concentrations of pink and green.”
“So, can we introduce chemicals that will interfere with their mating patterns and reduce their numbers?”
“Sorry. Their marriages are mostly family arranged for them so it won’t work.”
Eugene PD arrested no one.
I’m surprised they even arrived.
I’d be happy to go and crack some skulls, but I don’t want to go to prison.
And, I really do not want to cause permanent physical harm to anyone, unless there is no other option. Staying away from where they are is my best choice at this time.
The true Fascists are encouraged to run wild with impunity here.
It’s a real shame. Eugene was great when I was a kid. Sure, we had our Bohemian hippy fringe, but they were friendly and benign.
