Rioters vandalized several buildings in downtown Portland, Ore., on Saturday night in one of the largest protests in weeks, according to reports.
Around 150 people marched through Portland’s Pearl District in what’s called a "direct action" event, smashing windows of businesses like Starbucks, Chipotle, Umpqua Bank and Urban Pantry and tagging them with graffiti, KION-TV in Portland reported.
One vandal wrote "banks suck" on Umpqua Bank’s façade, a Portland Tribune reporter tweeted.
The marchers were protesting the Biden administration’s immigration policy and the federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The White House received progressive pushback this month when it reopened a Texas shelter meant to house unaccompanied teenage migrants. Amid the blowback, the administration has claimed the shelter "won't stay open very long."
Ahead of Saturday's unrest, several Portland business owners had boarded up their storefronts in anticipation of the planned protest, FOX 12 in Portland reported.
"We have removed everything that could possibly cause damage tonight," Jim Rice, owner of Fields Bar and Grill, told the station. The restaurant was already damaged on Friday. It was unclear if it suffered any further damage Saturday.
"When these people come through, and we've lost an entire day of business which means that's impacting my team member's wages. This has been going on for nine months," he continued. "Where are our resources? When do we get enough resources to finally go after and fix this?"

Don’t fall for this being Americans doing the majority of the rioting. These are illegals who are coming over to create havoc along with the cartels the more they unstabilized the government the better it is for them to conquer pieces of areas that they will control with drugs prostitution and children prostitution etc. this is exactly what happened at the get-go in Mexico and Columbia this is how they conquer cities and place fear in the government. This is how they get away with murdering police officers and government officials. It’s here and if we don’t stop at now we’re going to see exactly what is going on in Columbia El Salvador and Mexico with the cartels and Iranians Muslims entering our country for the pure purpose of destroying this nation because their motto has always been if we can kill America the great Satan then we will dominate the world. The majority Of illegals crossing our borders are horrible people that are entering for the pure purpose of destroying our way of life. Make no mistake I know what I speak ..I live on the border and I’ve heard horrific stories of what happens in Mexico to families their culture and government you name it I’ve heard it all. It’s coming to America in a rapid pace!
President Trump was limited by the office of the President. The President can’t simply march the 4th Infantry Division down main street. It’s up to the governor of the state to maintain order and to ask for help if disturbances grow out of control.
They have failed to do so. They failed to do so when President Trump was there to help them, and now all they’ve got is Sloe Biden, who will probably answer their calls for help with an army of social workers asking the rioters how they feel about breaking windows and burning local businesses to the ground.
Odd, I heard nothing about this in the MSM...
By my observation, that makes the count of left-right riots at about 1001-1. Biden response: Time to crack down on those right-wingers.
I wonder who incited this insurrectionist mob.
Is this an insurrection?

No. Only if someone tries to sit in Pelosi’s chair.
Out of work college graduate with master's degree: Every time I take a job catering like this the delivery containers come back riddled with bullet holes and scorch marks from building fires.
I think I'll go back to transporting and cleaning portable toilets for events. I smell worse but I don't have to dodge gunfire.
To be honest, I am happier today from two news stories:
this one
and Cuomo is dodging more sexual accusations from women.
Bill Clinton used to fire of cruise missiles at third world countries when there were “bimbo eruptions”.
I wonder what options the Gov of NY State has?
Cuomo needs Bill Clinton bimbo distraction plan....
Maybe he can get a few dozen missiles and order them fired against any Trump states. He’s from New York.
Lady Gaga actual, verified quote:
“I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.”
Trump followed the constitution. The states failed not trump.
The problem in Oregon is that there is no sales tax.
The DNC looses nothing when business have to close.
