Naked bike riders in Portland demonstrate against federal troops

Protesters are pedaling through Portland's streets wearing nothing or close to it to rally against the Trump administration. It's an “emergency” edition of the annual Portland World Naked Bike Ride. Crowds are donning inflatable costumes as they face off with federal law enforcement. The bike ride usually happens in the summer. Organizers of Sunday's hastily called event said another nude ride was necessary to speak out against attempts to mobilize of the National Guard to quell protests. The city is awaiting the ruling of an appeals court panel on whether Trump can send out the federalized troops.

Organizers of the World Naked Bike Ride, and a number of other local groups, came together last week to plan an emergency demonstration—they're hoping to draw crowds to inner Portland on Sunday for an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride to protest the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland. Specifically, they're getting on bikes in the buff to ask Portland's City Council to revoke the facility's land use approval."We need our city hall, mayor and council members to collectively revoke the #ICE facility permit and represent the values of Portland residents," reads an announcement posted yesterday.
