""Robby Roadsteamer has been detained by ICE in Portland, Oregon after a peacekeeping trip to heal the divide with the city battling ICE illegally grabbing innocent people off the streets in Portland. He was singing with the Portland Frog when ICE started shooting pepper balls at him, then detained Robby. Robby is being brought up on trespassing charges and asked to appear in court in Portland even though ICE dragged him onto their property!""
""A video posted by Roadsteamer (real name Rob Potylo) on YouTube shows him dressed in a giraffe costume, channeling Rod Stewart's \"Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?\" as he sings, \"If you hate brown people and you are a Nazi.\" Despite standing several feet behind the \"Do Not Cross\" blue line, a group of ICE officers dressed in military fatigues can be seen grabbing Roadsteamer and leading him toward the facility.""
""Korol had been playing the \"Ghostbusters\" theme across the street when she was detained. According to The Oregonian, Korol was taken to the Clark County Jail. A jail services representative told the newspaper that she was being held on suspicion of assaulting a federal officer. \"Ori, our clarinet player, was pinned against this fence, with whoever they're trying to detain at her feet, and she's just kind of stuck,\" trumpeter Miles Thompson told The Oregonian. \"Then suddenly one of the other officers just tackled her.""
Two protests outside an ICE facility in Portland resulted in detentions and charges. Comedian Robby Roadsteamer was detained while singing in a giraffe costume with the Portland Frog and is facing trespassing charges after footage shows ICE officers grabbing him despite his position behind the Do Not Cross blue line. A GoFundMe states he was hit with pepper balls and that funds are needed for legal defense. Earlier, clarinetist Oriana Korol was tackled and arrested while playing the Ghostbusters theme; she was taken to Clark County Jail and held on suspicion of assaulting a federal officer, with bandmates describing her being pinned and then tackled.
