Another warning from the feds, who now tell the protest not to "damage" the building. Does paint count? Anyway I've decided to put my gas mask on, even though it's such a wealthy area I question the necessity of this action

Police retreat to the strains of Yackety Sax, and shoot some smoke at the press for fun as they go

Protest is back at the ICE facility. Very little attrition. No sign of the feds but obviously that could change any second

Huge bullrush back to the park. Lot of brutality. Teargas warning but I didn't need it I can small it through my mask. Too fucking fast for me to get any good footage, I hope others did

Look what I am about to say is probably unfair but if you're on the sidewalk because you can't go fast I get it just please get over to one side so press can sprint and grab footage of this shit they're doing and show the world what they're doing out here

Oh by the way, we've got a riot declaration Journalists have been ordered to "go inside" Yeah, that's a TRO violation

Police have retreated for now. Yackety Sax again as they go. I'll never get tired of that, seriously if that's you playing it you're my hero

Do you have any idea how hard it is to light a mattress on fire?! Damn near impossible. But through God all things are possible so, you know, jot that downpic.twitter.com/GWMKshq4J3

Protesters are doing skateboard trucks over the flaming mattress, to which someone had added copies of "luxury homes" I don't need to explain the metaphor, surelypic.twitter.com/Ib1Jbp2pbi

As I typed that last tweet, a tomato from one of the luxury condos above splattered at my feet "Everyone's a critic!"

Looks like we're gonna stay here, at Bond and Gaines.
@PDXGabs and I chat about the implications of this. Theoretically, the feds can't come out this far Well, someone's coming now so I guess we'll find outShow this thread -

Back at ICE. Time for Round III. Starting out like the other two: no visible fed or police presence, protesters approaching the building cautiously

Shit is spicy. Protest driven as far back as Moody and Gibbs Air clears and I advance back to Moody and Curry where the police line remains Someone urges them to take a knee More voices denounce the demand. There have been enough knees taken, mostly on necks

The LRAD repeats the root alert and adds that protesters are not to throw projectiles at the cops Look is it a riot or isn't it? If you're asking people not to throw shit, then there's not enough chaos for a riot, surely
