The occupation of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters on the South Waterfront has over six days expanded from a scattering of chairs to a village of more than 80 tents, four portable toilets, six couches, a commissary and a medic's office.
The protest now closely resembles the Occupy Portland camps that seized two downtown parks in 2011. Once again, a Portland mayor has sanctioned the takeover—but this time, the target is a federal agency, and the goal is to directly impede its work.
Mayor Ted Wheeler has pledged to not intervene with Occupy ICE, saying he considers the work of federal immigration agents "un-American" and doesn't want Portland police to aid ICE's operations.
The blockade would now be difficult to dislodge anyhow.
"We've seen tremendous support," says Mary Ann Warner, an occupation organizer. "We're seeing so much food. I don't think anyone's going hungry."

The protest, blocking the front doors and driveway of ICE's building along Southwest Macadam Avenue, has forced the suspension of agency work since June 18. The Portland occupation, the first nationwide, is an attempt to disrupt President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that has treated refugees seeking asylum as criminals and separated small children from their parents.
ICE shut down its Portland office after protesters blocked the entrance.

Urk you made me look at what else was on that shelving...
It’s been a while since Kent State. Why did I just say that? But it has.
Absolutely. Go for it! But only the one in Lexington, not the DC one.
Check them all for ID (green cards). Betcha nab a few illegals as they’re not too bright.
Why do all “Occupy” camps look like white trash slums?
Do any of them have even a basic idea of how to take care of themselves? How many thousands of dollars will cleaning up this pigsty cost? Just like the SD Occupy camp, I wonder if there are a few bodies stashed away?
Excellent ideas in your post, declare the city in a state of insurrection, close off its interstate links like the airport, amtrak, internet access and interstate buses, use the Oregon National Guard and the Infantry Division right up the road at Ft Lewis, Wash to do the deeds and make a crystal clear example out of Portland.
And federally funded highways like the Interstates through the city.
There’s a current ad on Portland craigslist...

They do work for Our Oregon...

Federal property? Send in the Federal troops. Period.
OH I have no doubt that they are going to press on with the “outrage.” But everyone with a sense of strategy knows that it is a losing proposition.
College “educated in environmental studies” dem voters.
The media says they’re smarter than Donald Trump supporters.
let me explain this to you very simply. The communist failed with the Russian collusion lie. Then the obstruction of justice became a laughing stock. Now they are desperately turning to violence. That violence against women officials and this Ice “blockade” must be met with tremendous force. I assure you that there are effective volunteers but we own the executive branch and the military. I want that damned ICE office open and that area cleared for a 2 mile radius. I am tired of this helpless faint. Either we see the enemy and destroy the enemy or we WILL BE DESTROYED!!
Nothing that hi tech is needed just a pressure washer hooked up to 250 gal. Tank of water based pepper sprat mounted on a p/u truck . you hose down a whole lot of seditious traitors real quick & be certain the rat bastards get a good spray coat .
“...not good for PR purposes....”
Yeah, but it does WONDERS for commie attitude adjustment.
And a horizontal butt stroke across the chin helps too.
STOP every single dime of Federal $$$ going to Oregon.
I've been saying the same thing for years now.
Lacking that, mace in the face or a good washdown with water cannon will do.
Adjust the continuum of force as required...
This is sedition.
They MUST be stopped. Painfully so that NOBODY is stupid enough to do this stuff again.
If it were not for double standards, they would have no standards at all.
That is allot of libtards that spend their job lunch-breaks protesting, or was it the weekend when they are off of work and not taking care of their property?
