Portland, Oregon, mayor demands ICE exit after tear gas incident at peaceful protest
The mayor of Portland, Oregon, has demanded that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave his city after federal agents launched tear gas at demonstrators — including young children — outside an ICE facility during a weekend protest. Mayor Keith Wilson characterized Saturday's protest as peaceful. Witnesses said agents deployed tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets as thousands of marchers arrived at the South Waterfront facility. President Donald Trump said he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to have federal agents be vigilant in guarding U.S. government facilities. Messages were sent Sunday to the Department of Homeland Security seeking to confirm details of the incident.

US citizens arrested by ICE in Minneapolis describe harrowing detention facility conditions
Two Minneapolis friends who have been monitoring immigration officers’ actions during the Trump administration’s latest crackdown say they were detained without charge for several hours in distressing conditions, denied phone calls, and pressured to rat out protest organizers and people living in the country illegally. Brandon Sigüenza and Patty O’Keefe's accusations suggest that the Department of Homeland Security is using similar tactics in Minneapolis as it did during the crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago and New Orleans. Federal officers are again using roving patrols, warrantless arrests and aggressive tactics such as spraying chemical irritants, breaking car windows and recording protesters, including Renee Good in the moments before an ICE officer fatally shot her.
