"It is a beautiful party atmosphere. Everybody's really excited. Then the band hits into 'Ghostbusters,' and then at 'Ghostbusters,' that's when ICE start storming in,"
"Why are they targeting a clarinet player? A clarinet player standing on the sidewalk far away from the street, following instructions."
""Secretary of War" "protect war ravaged Portland" "any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.""
""social action-oriented""
A 38-year-old clarinet player was detained by ICE during a protest outside an ICE facility in Portland while performing the Ghostbusters theme with her brass band. Video shows a federal agent suddenly forcing her to the ground. Family members report she was transported to Vancouver, Washington, and is being held without bail in Clark County Jail on charges of assaulting an officer. The musician is a member of the social action-oriented Unpresidented Brass Band, which uses music to de-escalate tensions. Local officials report an increased ICE presence, while national leaders described Portland as "bombed out" and "on fire," and the White House awaits a Ninth Circuit ruling on deploying 200 National Guard members to Portland.
