The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition links to a statewide network of rapid-response organizations that train people to verify reported ICE activity, support detained individuals, coordinate legal aid, and perform legal observation. Protest activity included an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride with a die-in on the Burnside Bridge and a march to the ICE facility in South Portland. Department of Homeland Security agents used force during a civil disobedience event, shoving protesters, firing pepper balls, and deploying tear gas on the block. Local coverage also features a comedy Q&A with Guy Branum, a gossip column, a trivia quiz, and reporting on Motern Media and Evil Puddle films.
