Summary

In the evening, protesters gathered at Elizabeth Caruthers Park near the ICE facility for the nightly demonstration. Tonight’s demonstration comes on the back of the news that 545 children have been detained by ICE and cannot be reunited with their parents because they (their parents) have been lost. Accordingly, the number 545 was written on walls around the area of the ICE facility during the demonstration.

Around 8:45 pm, about 100 protesters arrived at the ICE facility, and were mostly standing around and chanting until an unlawful assembly was declared by Homeland Security (DHS) agents at 9:35 pm. What followed was DHS officers pushing protesters out of the area using force and indiscriminately and brutally arresting protesters for the next few hours. An ambulance was also seen pulling into the facility around midnight, but leaves later without a passenger. There are some reports that another ambulance arrived later in the night, but that one didn’t leave empty-handed. By around 1:15 pm, with most of the protesters seemingly leaving the area when the first ambulance left, numbers dwindled and the night ended.

Scheduled Events

• Sign Making Event & Direct Action March – 7 pm

Timeline

Protesters gather at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in South Portland for the nightly demonstration.

I’m at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in South Portland covering tonight’s sign making event and Direct Action March.

About ~25 people are gathered in the grass, some making signs to replace ones that were torn down and destroyed near the ICE facility in South Portland on Sunday.

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 21, 2020

A medic tent is set up in the park offering free supplies including earplugs, face masks, bottled water and snacks. A table nearby was piled with stacks of free abolitionist literature, but was disassembled and put away after a light rain began to fall.

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 21, 2020

The crowd at Elizabeth Caruthers Park is still small, but people seem hopeful it will grow.

— Cascadianphotog Media (@Cascadianphotog) October 21, 2020

Recently some back the blue activists came down and ripped several student made BLM signs off of the fence of their school. Earlier today those students replaced their signs.

— Cascadianphotog Media (@Cascadianphotog) October 21, 2020

Around 8:40 pm, protesters depart from the park.

The crowd, which has grown to ~50 people, has left Elizabeth Caruthers Park and begun marching south on the sidewalk lining SW Bond Ave. toward the ICE facility, chanting “how do you spell ‘nazi?’ ‘D-H-S!’ How do you spell ‘rapists?’ ‘D-H-S!’ How do you spell “killers?’ ‘D-H-S!’”

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 21, 2020

While marching along the sidewalk, several eggs were thrown from an apartment complex window overhead, splattering on the ground. “Put on your helmets, everybody!” a person shouted.

Around 8:45 pm, protesters arrive at the ICE facility.

Upon arriving at the ICE facility on SW Moody Ave. and Bancroft St., a voice came over a loudspeaker warning the crowd to stay on the sidewalk and to not engage in criminal activity. Several people began chanting “fuck you, roof cop!”

The scene on SW Moody Ave. and Lowell St. is quiet. Protesters, most of whom are wearing respirators and helmets, are facing the row of ~25 DHS officers in silence. The loudest sound is that of a protester’s sound system playing a local protest anthem, “No Cock Like Horse Cock.”

I’m at Arbor Lodge Park in North Portland covering tonight’s Direct Action March calling for police and prison abolition.

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 20, 2020

The crowd at Arbor Lodge (which has grown to ~70 people) just circled up to take a vote on whether or not to leave the park tonight. Some in the crowd are warily watching a pair of unmasked white men who have been strolling slowly through the crowd, eyeing protesters.

Portland police repeated their announcement over a loudspeaker, but a protester drowned out the sound out with a loud air horn.

The crowd is mostly standing in small groups across the street from PPA, talking and listening to music playing over a sound system.

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 20, 2020

The crowd gathered by 7-Eleven for an announcement: if anyone sees police approaching from behind, they’re asked to yell the word “doughnut” to alert protesters to their presence.

“This is going to be your cue to look behind you. It doesn’t matter where you’re at.”

When the crowd had shrunk to ~20 people, a person with a megaphone asked if people were ready to conclude for the night. The group agreed and began walking back toward Arbor Lodge Park.

Summary

Today was a quiet day for Portland’s protest community. With no events planned either during the day or at night, the community got a day to rest and do mutual aid work, like distributing ballistic vests to BIPOC community members and Portland Street Mechanics holding a clinic at Lents Park.

There was, however, a Back the Blue Rally during the day at the Justice Center and then the ICE facility. Despite some members of the crowd coming armed, the event began and ended without any significant confrontations from counter-protesters, of which there were none. By 4:30 pm, after about 3 hours of flag-waving, the right-wing protesters had cleared the area.

Scheduled Events

None

Summary

During the day, a Back the Blue Rally takes place downtown near the Justice Center.

No far right activity at the JC currently. There are perhaps 20 people doing a flag wave on the Gibbs St Pedestrian Bridge. They seem to be a family event at this time: mostly women, a few kids. No weapons.

I think best to leave this one alone pending further developments

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 18, 2020

Update: maybe 15 chuds at the JC. I see at least one AR.

It is unclear if the rally taking place at the ICE facility is the same group as the one at the Justice Center, or if it is an entirely different Back the Blue Rally happening concurrently.

Local activist Dr. Juniper Simonis was harassed by right-wing rally-goers at the ICE building. Journalist Laura Jedeed relays the situation:

I just spoke to @JuniperLSimonis and here's what happened

They asked the man who he works for. The man got upset t

Within a few minutes of the man getting on the phone, armed far right activists showed up. I am receiving reports that they have removed BLM signs from the Cottonwood school next to the ICE building. When I drove by, I saw them having a conversation with a DHS officer

Then, all the armed protesters came over with a few others to explain that I'm not intimidated by them. Apparently if you don't break down crying, you're not intimidated. It's real interesting

They told me for about ten minutes how pro free speech they are

The exchange between journalist Laura Jedeed and a right-wing rally-goer who had threatened them a few weeks ago at another Back the Blue Rally downtown.

Ok, I'm home, let's see if I can actually upload video

The gentleman who called me a fucking cunt and threatened me last week approached me to accuse me of doxxing him. His armed friends soon followed

I tried, and failed, to explain that comments left under my videos aren't me pic.twitter.com/Bd8PInY6jH

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 19, 2020

The gentleman asks why anyone would doxx him. I say, you'll have to ask them, but possibly because you threatened me with a gun

He explains he wasn't threatening me, then tells me to "keep a safe distance" which feels like another threat and also dude, YOU approached ME pic.twitter.com/S62fwfBOgj

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 19, 2020

Two men with AR15s inform me I'm not intimidated

They also accuse me of throwing things, then demand to know why I didn't stop others from throwing. Astoundingly, they say they'd protect me if people antagonized me

It is difficult to talk to people who believe their own lies pic.twitter.com/87SU3OdOOs

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 19, 2020

The gentlemen next take issue with me encouraging violence somehow and also with calling them neo-nazis, which I have NEVER done

I ask about harassment of Juniper. They deny it, which tracks with the story I was told (they came when called but did not participate)

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 19, 2020

I also get heated and it results in a tactical error: I advance on one of them to demonstrate how Mr. "Fucking cunt" over there advanced on me

They, of course, take this as proof that I'm not intimidated

I did at least ask about he magazine in the gentleman's weapon. He refused to give me a straight answer, unsurprisingly

Summary

Across the country today, Women’s Marches took place in many major cities. Some specifically focused on opposing the possible appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. In Portland, the march and rally were led by BIPOC community members in support of Black Lives Matter. Hundreds of protesters marched a small route around the downtown area and listened to speakers at Terry Shrunk Plaza before and after the march.

In the evening, protesters gathered at Willamette Park in Southwest Portland. There, organizers passed out silver star balloons, which all had harrowing accounts of experiences in ICE custody taped onto them. Protesters brought these balloons to the ICE facility with the intent of tying them onto the front gate of the building and around the area. Unfortunately, as protesters arrived and began tying the balloons, federal officers immediately came out of the building and dispersed protesters with pepper balls. For several hours federal agents pushed protesters out of the area, retreated, then re-emerged several times to deploy impact munitions and tear gas. This push and pull of officers and protesters moving up and down Moody Ave. continued for the entire night, until the confrontations ended around 2 am.

Scheduled Events

• Meditation with Radical BIPOC at the Red House on Mississippi – 11 am
• PDX Women’s March – 11 am
• Screen Printing at the Red House on Mississippi – 2 pm
• PDX CAR Caravan Protest – 2 pm
• Justice Hip-Hop Benefit Show – 6 pm
• Solidarity March Honoring Those Who Have Died in ICE Custody – 6:30 pm

A targeted arrest happens at ICE facility. The person detained pleads with multiple officers not to kneel on them & clearly states they have Tourettes and autism. The officers do not acknowledge or react. They are taken away & we can hear their shrieks behind the gates.

Summary

Today would have been George Floyd’s 47th Birthday. The community celebrated by gathering at Revolution Hall where they listened to black artists and black speakers, including George Floyd’s cousin. The demonstration ended around 9:30 pm with George Floyd’s cousin releasing the balloons that were on the memorial to George into the air as the crowd chanted his name. Happy Birthday, George.

When the celebration concluded, some protesters moved to the Red House on Mississippi, where the Black-Indigenous family facing eviction welcomes the community to come and camp out and use the plot as a gathering space. Others turned their attention to the ICE facility. A small group of protesters made their way there, where a mix of state and federal officers were waiting behind the gates of the building. Between the small number of protesters and small number of officers though, the two groups didn’t confront each other throughout the night and by midnight the demonstration there ended as well.

Scheduled Events

• Eviction Blockade 101 at the Red House on Mississippi – 6:30 pm
• Happy Birthday George Floyd – 8 pm

He talks about how low-income white indentured servants formed community with Black slaves at the start

How the rich landowners saw this as a threat

In 1705, the Virginia slave codes made all Black people slaves and set white indentured servants free

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

How the slave patrols that began in this period eventually became the modern police system we suffer under today

How he made some bad friends to try to provide for their mom, who raised 6 kids on her own

The crowd says her brother’s name: Sherif White

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

Demetria leads the crowd in a chant of “Fuck the Police”

She reminds us that the police not only kill our community members, but tell us it’s our fault. Talks about the wounds these things inflict on the community

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

He tells us George Floyd turnt it up at all times. Loved to have a good time. That we’re gonna honor his memory by doing the same tonight

He expresses disappointment that more people aren’t out here, but how good it feels to know how much his cousin matters to the people here

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

“Big Floyd was about the struggle! He didn’t have no options, like all the Black men in America!”

He talks about the daily struggle. bout not having the option for fear

“Every system Must. Come. Down”

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

“we must cry out to let the systems of our oppressors know that we will live, and we will not die!”

He talks about Jesus’ promise of abundant living. “A social justice warrior. Black Jesus! Can I say that?”

The crowd affirms that he can

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

He closes with a prayer asking God to watch over the movement, to sustain it and show the right path. For those involved to stand strong. For unity

The crowd applauds

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 15, 2020

Happy Birthday, George Floyd.

The organizers present George Floyd’s cousin with the balloons from the memorial

After the conclusion of the birthday party, some community members move to different locations: The Red House on Mississippi or the ICE facility.

The party will continue at the Red House, but this extremely cold reporter is going home to have hot toddies and either video games or reading, depending on how virtuous I feel

Rest in Power, George Floyd ✊

Solidarity with everyone still out here

— Peter (@gravemorgan) October 15, 2020

So US Marshal came out and turned on the giant tear gas gun to ‘test it’ behind the gate – but nothing came out, we could just hear the motors – then casually left it next to this post apparently unmanned. Silly optics if I ever saw it #Portlandprotests pic.twitter.com/fTDPZ5davF

Summary

The location of tonight’s demonstration was not announced on social media beforehand. Regardless, a small group of around 20-30 protesters gathered at the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Despite small numbers, federal officers exited the building to allow a car to leave the facility parking lot twice, and then a third time to arrest a protester. By about 12:30 am numbers in the group of protesters dwindled and the night ended without any further incident.

Scheduled Events

• Direct Action March (Previously Undisclosed Location) – 10 pm

Timeline

Protesters gather at the ICE facility in Southwest Portland.

For some reason the Federal Protective Service has decided to tell us that the building is closed and we have to leave

I cannot stress enough how there are only 20 people here and they're literally just standing around making jokes about cops

A grip of cops gather behind the ICE gates in Portland. Worth noting they all have gas masks on. One might assume they are getting ready to charge protesters on other side of gate #PortlandProtests pic.twitter.com/Eh5mtxI6tM

Officers suddenly rush out just after midnight and arrest one protester.

By around 12:30 am, numbers have dwindled and the night ends.
