ORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) - The Portland Police Bureau has released the names of 30 people arrested Thursday as officers worked to clear out protesters who were occupying a library on the Portland State University’s campus.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators began occupying the Millar Library on the PSU campus Monday evening. Police moved in Thursday morning in an effort to clear protesters from the library and the park area out front.
By 10:15 a.m. Thursday, police cleared out the library but protesters remained outside throughout much of the day.
FOX 12 witnessed police leave the area outside the PSU library just after 5 p.m. Soon after, protesters who had been gathered outside all day, began ripping down city barricades protecting the building. Seemingly attempting to re-enter the library and recreating their barricade to keep police out.
On Friday, in a letter to students PSU President Ann Cudd said, Millar Library would likely not re-open until the fall semester of 2024.
Cudd called the state of the library “unusable.”
“The library team is working to get remote services up and running and we are also endeavoring to identify and equip alternative study spaces throughout campus. Thank you to everyone on our facilities staff who has worked and will continue to work to bring our library back online. The building is not suitable for occupation, but we hope to reopen it in time for fall term,” wrote Cudd.
Police returned to PSU and arrested eight more people on Thursday night.
In total, officers arrested 30 people, including six PSU students, throughout the day Thursday.
Four of the 30 had their cases dropped. When asked about the reasons, DA Mike Schmidt’s office said two of those arrested were homeless and unaware police were there until their arrest. Additionally, two other people had their cases dropped because they voluntarily left the building after the police made the arrest announcement.

On Thursday in a news conference, DA Mike Schmidt said, “I want to again be very clear. We will prosecute these cases. We will use every tool at our disposal to make sure they are held accountable.”
If these people are adults-over 18-they are entirely legally responsible for themselves and their actions-not anyone else-and they should pay for any damages, be arrested, whatever. We need to treat people who are 18 and over like the adults the law says they are-not like kids-which they are not...
Most of the peeps are 30+. By that age, parents should not be responsible for their children unless they dependents.
Portland has a DA who is actually going to prosecute?? Praise God!
Watch those with AKA’s try to sue the city and media for dead naming them.
Any business that hires any one of these turds deserves everything that happens afterwards.
If going after the parents is good enough for a school shooter, it’s plenty good enough for going after these Nazi-inspired rat bastards.
I don’t like those rules, but those are the rules their side wants. Time to make them play by their own rules, per Alinsky.
” We need to treat people who are 18 and over like the adults the law says they are...”
Agreed.
Box them up and ship them to Gaza, no return.
Can’t be down for the struggle without having the lived experience.
i don’t know about other states, but in this state, anyone 18 and over is an adult, period-with all the privileges and responsibilities of an adult-doesn’t matter if you claim them on taxes as a dependent or not. The only way someone else can be made responsible for an adult’s actions is if that adult has been adjudicated incompetent by a judge/court.
For heaven’s sake many are in their 30 s and one is in his 40s……going after parents is ridiculous.

Sounds great to me-one way ticket, one suitcase, only carry $500 in cash-no checks, credit/debit cards, etc, no trade items allowed, no return allowed for at least 6 months.
The school shooters were under 18-not adults- at the time they committed the crimes...
PV Warrant = Probation Violation Warrant
If they support them financially, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE!
I always told my kids “If you wind up in jail for doing something illegal, SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND DO YOUR TIME”!
Left out purposely are the people training them and the people funding them.
6 of 30 were not Antifa or professional protesters.
