"To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children."
The Mercury requests reader support through small monthly contributions to sustain local news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendars, and hosted events. A sunny drying spell will raise temperatures to about 60 degrees midweek. Thousands marched from Elizabeth Caruthers Park to Portland's ICE facility in a union-led protest against border patrol agents accused of murdering Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Protesters, including children and elderly, were exposed to heavy use of tear gas, pepper balls, and rubber bullets, causing vomiting and burning of eyes and skin. A furious condemnation labeled the agents' actions as violent, unconstitutional, and shameful, and called for resignations and departures.
