Multiple police officers were injured in Portland, Oregon Saturday night during a violent riot at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
A mob launched fireworks, smoke grenades and threw rocks at federal law enforcement, as they broke glass and forcibly entered the ICE facility, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.
Four officers were injured during the attack, though federal law enforcement was able to secure the facility.
The riot came after the city hosted a "No Kings" protest at 1 p.m., which officials labeled a "large-scale free speech gathering."
Tens of thousands of people marched through downtown and returned to Waterfront Park at about 4 p.m., which is about five miles from the ICE field location.
The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) declared an unlawful assembly near the facility at about 6:30 p.m. local time, warning it would use crowd control measures, including impact munitions or other physical force, if necessary.
About 30 minutes later, PPB said a medical event was reported within the ICE facility and medical personnel needed to enter.
They warned rioters not to interfere with police, or "force may be used against you," the bureau wrote on social media.

They missed a spectacular celebration of the 259th Anniversary of the U.S. Army.
It’s time for live rounds to be used.
Like that sheriff in FL stated.
“We need to get mean.”, said Tampon Tim.
“They warned rioters not to interfere with police, or “force may be used against you,” the bureau wrote on social media.”
.
How about some force that involves 5.56 “social media.”
Oh, that’s right, they still have to deal with “city officials.”
Just for funzies, stuff some of those “city officials” into cop uniforms and drop `em off.
BINGO!
Funding for 1,000 new cops!
.
Sounds like a regular Saturday night in Portland.
The police get injured but then are still vilified as stormtroopers for Trump. They can’t win.
Shameful for cops to get kicked around in their home building.
RE: “We need to get mean.”, said Tampon Tim.
I guess it only work for the Leftist side. Not for ours. Like free speech or rights. Just for the Left.
Bfl
Did the mayor have them stand down?
This is on Chrissy Waltons head. Among others.
Snipers and machine gunners on the rooftop.
Snipers take out a few leaders first and order to disperse.
If not, open up on all of them. Mass grave in a garbage dump somewhere.
These are socialist thugs. They have explosives and actually attack armed police and breach buildings, for Gods sake.
Portland police are either incompetent or Antifa supporters.
They can’t be both?
I sincerely miss water cannons to clear protestors/rioters and I have no clue why they are not in widespread use today. I assume lawyers sued cities for using them and the liability caused their decline in use, but they were effective “non lethal” means of clearing rioters without putting cops in harms way.
Bring back water cannons. Bring them back NOW.
WHY isn’t this being treated as an insurrection with every single piece of garbage who has a hand in this being held accountable.
Trace cell phones, the vehicles, the money - every single bit can be tracked down.
Oregon National Guard needs to be called out to protect Fed facilities
THAT's PRETTY MEAN, TIMMY!!
