PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "The mayor of Portland, Oregon, demanded U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave his city after federal agents launched #TearGas at a crowd of demonstrators — including young children — outside an #ICE facility during a weekend protest that he characterized as peaceful.

"Witnesses said agents deployed tear gas, #PepperBalls and #RubberBullets as thousands of marchers arrived at the South Waterfront facility on Saturday. Erin Hoover Barnett, a former #OregonLive reporter who joined the protest, said she was about 100 yards (90 meters) from the building when 'what looked like two guys with rocket launchers' started dousing the crowd with gas.

" 'To be among parents frantically trying to tend to little children in strollers, people using motorized carts trying to navigate as the rest of us staggered in retreat, unsure of how to get to safety, was terrifying,' Barnett wrote in an email to OregonLive."

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.

Trump’s #Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” #Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming #Protesters

Since President Donald #Trump ’s admin launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — #RubberBullets , flash-bang grenades, #TearGas and #PepperBalls. They’ve fired on American #citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

This stock market high is insane and unsafe, people need to figure out if they want to allow people to profit while the constitution is disassembled, about allowing even more of this, and if they want to get hit by #rubberbullets from #TrumpThreatensAmericansWithViolence or plan for a #GeneralStrike or Trump will continue to flirt with making himself the head of the fourth Reich instead of facing justice for #releasetheepsteinfiles
