Portland witnessed one of its most intense immigration demonstrations in recent years as thousands of protesters marched from City Hall to the ICE facility in Southwest Macadam, shutting down major streets and bringing federal operations to a standstill. The march comes in the aftermath of federal shootings in Minneapolis, fueling nationwide outrage, rising tensions and renewed anger toward immigration enforcement agencies. The Portland mayor has now publicly called for ICE to leave the city, while city council members face growing pressure to revoke federal permits and dismantle the operational base. Protesters accuse the facility of “terrorizing” local communities and violating constitutional protections, reigniting the national debate over immigration enforcement, federal authority and civil liberties.
