Hundreds of protesters marched to facility from nearby Elizabeth Caruthers Park in Southwest Portland.
Hundreds of protesters marched to the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Facility on Saturday afternoon.
It is the latest demonstration since President Donald Trump announced last week he would deploy up to 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland. Late Saturday afternoon, a federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment.
Before the temporary restraining order was known publicly, protesters gathered Saturday morning at nearby Elizabeth Caruthers Park in the South Waterfront neighborhood.
They later marched a few blocks toward the detention facility at around 1 p.m. and blocked the road in front of the building. Crowds gathered peacefully and mostly stayed concentrated in front of the facility. Soon after, federal law enforcement marched out of the center and fired tear gas and smoke canisters to disperse the crowd. They also fired pepper balls at people.

It’s unclear how many were fired, but protesters near the front of the crowd said federal officers fired several canisters.

Listen, if your looking for a problem, your gonna find one. If this is true, than the people of Portland deserves all that they get. I'm not trying to be a hater, but WHITE PROTESTORS ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST. When they foolishly joined the BLM movements, they messed it up for black people. When that white guy, Kyle ? shot and killed that BLM white protestor, that movement went straight to hell and downhill. White people think everything is all about them....I would bet my last dollar all them white protestors don't have one damn immigrant friend or neighbor....THEY JUST BORED AND GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO, BECAUSE EVERYTHING ALWAYS HAS TO BE ABOUT THEMFederal officers fire tear gas, make multiple arrests during protest outside Portland ICE facility
