PORTLAND, Ore. – Two protesters were arrested and two federal officers were injured Monday during a brief confrontation before the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Southwest. Portland, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), told KATU News

A third protester was arrested earlier in the morning for "failure to comply," said DHS spokesman Robert Sperling. pm at Macadam Avenue Institution, where a group has been organizing a protest for three weeks with the aim of abolishing ICE.

According to the video of a witness, at least one policeman used pepper spray and unloaded protesters. Another video shows police officers who attacked a protester before putting him in the back of a patrol car.

Sperling said two police officers were injured, but did not specify what happened nor the extent of the injuries

According to Sperling, the two protesters arrested in the 39, incident in the afternoon have not yet been treated.

Protesters began their protest on Sunday, June 17 after learning that the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy separated migrant parents from their children. American-Mexican border. The move has spread to other cities, where groups have staged similar protests outside their local ice offices.

The demonstrations forced the offices to close for more than a week, until federal agents entered and cleared the tents. They put a black fence around the building after the sweep

The encampment remains in a section of land adjacent to the ICE facility.

On Monday, KATU confirmed that an inspector from the Bureau of Development Services wrote a notice of correction to the ICE facility for the fence that was built without permission, saying that it violates a height restriction of 8 feet and encroaches into the sidewalk – a public right of way.

The inspector gave notice to an officer, and a formal A letter will be sent to the owner. They have ten days to answer, officials said.

Here is a complete statement on Monday's Occupy ICE PDX incident:

Today, 7/9/18, Federal Officers of the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS) attempted to raid the Occupy ICE PDX camp while he was armed. Again, we specify that ice breakers at the camp are unarmed and that this camp is not on federal property and that it complies with federal restrictions to not obstruct driveways, driveways or the entrances of the building. ICE, in fact, received a quote this morning from the Bureau of Development Services in violation of the ADA to obstruct the driveways with their fence.

At approximately 13:05, 4 to 5 DHS officers (including at least one plainclothes policeman) approached the camp from the backlot at the bottom of the near-aisle Tesla building, and proceeded to an attempt to advance through the doors. ICE Breakers closed the door to prevent them from entering. They tried to break the barrier and force their entry, but they could not. A DHS vehicle had come in as they began to retreat to conduct a series of violent arrests. One person was thrown to the ground and was seen visibly bleeding. Another person witnessed several people hitting the ground, hitting the head hard on the ground, and was then stuffed into the squad vehicle. Another person was sprinkled with pepper to hold a toy (a ball on a rope) that the agents identified as a "weapon". Agents in the vehicle fired pepper balls on the ground, hitting a reporter in the foot and affecting several others in the immediate area. The protesters gathered to document their movements and the officers started backing down the aisle on the sidewalk towards the building. At least 3 people were arrested at that time with at least 4 to 5 people sprinkled with pepper. DHS officers blocked the northwestern corner of the sidewalk after being removed to the interior of the building through the side door. A supervisor from the Portland Police Office was introduced around 1:37 pm, and although they were not engaged, their mere presence contributed to the tension of the situation.

Federal forces are there to intimidate and inflict violence. They have inflicted extreme violence on migrant populations for many years and would not hesitate to expose some form of this violence to those who resist in solidarity with the front-line communities. We focus on community preparedness and strategic resistance, to protect and protect everyone (especially the front-line and most deeply affected communities)

Had been hurt, afflicted, and arrested today, we also want to remind everyone that tomorrow, Tuesday 7/10/18, is the deadline for children under 5 who had been separated from their families, to be reunited with their families. Thursday, July 26 is the deadline for all families to be reunited. The violence we face is unimaginable to the violence and psychological harm that these children and their families experience every day. Why do these federal agencies waste resources and time attacking our camp when they are supposed to reunite children with their families?

We have not lost and the fight is not over. [19659003] Our claims are still:

1. The City Council shall revoke the conditional use permit for ICE to use the 4310 SW Macadam as a detention center, and prohibit further issuance of such licenses to ICE 2. Portland Police Office must withdraw from Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) 3 The City of Portland must terminate all monetary and other cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security 4. Portland must fund an Immigrant Rights Office and provide a universal legal defense to all builders and comrades in the movement across the country, including San Francisco, California and Columbus, Ohio who were attacked last night: We stand together with you.

Raise, center and follow the voices of those most affected by the terror of ICE. [19659003 Remember what we are fighting for: the complete abolition of ICE and, finally, the abolition of the imperial borders.

¡Chinga the Migra! Abolish ICE! Abolish borders!
