We are also proud of the Portlanders who showed up today in peaceful solidarity, demonstrating the strength and clarity of those shared values in the face of federal overreach.

Portland will continue to stand firmly with our immigrant neighbors, who deserve safety, dignity, and the full protection of the communities they help build.

As we prepare to put that law into action, we are also documenting today’s events and preserving evidence. The federal government must, and will, be held accountable.

The City of Portland is moving swiftly to operationalize an ordinance that went into effect this month, imposing a fee on detention facilities that use chemical agents.

I share the need to act. Actions that can withstand the scrutiny of the justice system take time – and we cannot afford to lose this fight.

I share the impatience of those who demand we use every legal tool at our disposal to push back against this inexcusable, unconscionable, and unacceptable violence against our community.

No one is forcing you to lie to yourself, even as your bosses continue to lie to the American people. Our nation will never accept a federal presence where agents wield deadly force against the very people they are sworn to serve.

To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children. Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets.

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

Today, federal forces deployed heavy waves of chemical munitions impacting a peaceful daytime protest where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat, and posed no danger to federal forces.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

I saw it too:

ICE is 100% trying to provoke a violent incident

It’s a broken record at this point, but this revelation alone would topple any previous presidency — nonstop media coverage, congressional investigations, impeachment. Trump’s corruption is so unprecedented but also so brazen, he obviously thinks he’s immune.

The phrase "ICE Out" reverberated around the nation this weekend as protesters took to the streets, holding up signs and chanting in unison as they called for an end to the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration. https://cnn.it/3ZezcAb

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Saturday signed an executive order directing city police to investigate and document alleged misconduct by federal immigration officers with an eye toward prosecution.

"Legally speaking, the federal charges against journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are complex and unusual, sparking debate among lawyers about the legitimacy of the cases," writes Brian Stelter | Analysis https://cnn.it/4a4ZQAr

The Rosenbergs were executed by the United States for sharing information about nuclear weapons, the technology of that time. Now it’s AI Chips and crickets,

An Abu Dhabi royal backed a secret $500 million investment in Trump’s crypto company. Months later, U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

Felony bribery and a mandatory basis for impeachment. We must rid ourselves of this crook and the first step is to impeach him after the midterms.

NEW: Slovakia’s national security adviser resigns after Epstein files show they exchanged messages in 2018

Some people can actually be shamed out of their jobs? Fascinating.

THAT is what made America great!

4/ There’s nothing particular about any of these interactions, just the beautiful fact of people from all over LatAm now thrust together by this shared experience of living in a sub-Arctic city, coming to the same 2 or 3 stores & speaking their different versions of Spanish & caring for each other.

3/ The other family there was sending money to family back home. The fridge near the door has Salvadoran cheese bread that is to die for. At the other Mexican grocery in town, the cashiers I speak with most often are from Guatemala & Dominican Republic. They also carry food from the whole diaspora.

2/ The teen asked (in Spanish) what the Malta Goya in the fridge near checkout was like. The cashier was like…idk, malty? How else do you describe it? I explained that to me it’s a strange syrupy flavor that I dislike but — & I gestured to my daughter — she loves. It’s from 🇨🇴 & her dad ❤️s it.

1/ Very brief vignette about why immigration makes 🇺🇸 better: Today I was in a 🇲🇽 market in Anchorage, AK w/ my 🇨🇴-Alaskan kids. The market sells products from all over LatAm. Waiting in line ahead of us, a dad & his teen son were speaking a mixture of Mexican Spanish & an Indigenous language (Triqui?)
