"Yet another murder perpetrated by federal border patrol officers in Minneapolis (more deets on that later) has infuriated the country and inspired massive protests, including this weekend in Portland. On Saturday, hundreds of protesters braved the chilly temperatures to march and rally in Elizabeth Caruthers Park, and later at Portland's ICE facility, where four people were arrested by Portland Police, while the Feds (according to witnesses on the scene) snatched up at least three people and dragged them inside."
