A reminder: it’s ICE that’s creating the violence [https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/09/federal-cops-instigating-confrontations-with-protesters-outside-ice-building-portland-police-official-says-in-court.html?gift=b1f4ab29-6410-412c-8322-7443d29ef3f9] — all they have to do to end it is to stop attacking people.

I’d also like to share that, just like last time, you may see images of smoke, graffiti, and darkness. But this facility is in a nice area next door to a preschool surrounded by mostly new build apartments and condos. Most of the residents work at the state’s largest hospital (and commute via the coolest mode of transportation possible).

And, just like last time, all of the graffiti and damage will be solely to the federal building while the rest of the area remains unchanged. By day, everyone goes about their lives. Except for the preschool which has not remained consistently open due to overnight lingering gas from ICE that has penetrated into their classrooms.

The school Nextdoor moved to what I hear is a much nicer location.
