Chaos Erupts at ICE Facilities in Portland, Tacoma Protests

News summary

Protests outside an ICE detention facility in Portland, Oregon, erupted into chaos as hundreds of demonstrators clashed with law enforcement using tear gas, smoke bombs, and rubber bullets. The unrest coincided with President Donald Trump's signing of a $150 billion 'big, beautiful bill' that increases funding for border security, ICE enforcement, and deportations while cutting Medicaid, a move protesters strongly opposed. Demonstrators staged a 'die-in' downtown to protest Medicaid cuts and organized a caravan from the Portland ICE facility to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, in support of detained vineyard worker Moises Sotelo. Videos captured intense confrontations, including law enforcement tackling protesters and the use of crowd control munitions, with several arrests made after the protest was declared unlawful. Antifa was reported to have committed arson at the Portland ICE facility amid the protests, prompting a statement from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche condemning assaults on federal officers and property. The protests reflect widespread opposition to the administration's immigration policies and budget priorities under President Trump.
