Tensions escalated Wednesday night in Portland, Oregon, as federal agents deployed nonlethal crowd control measures to disperse rioters who attempted to obstruct access to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
Video captured on the scene showed federal officers responding with rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash-bang devices after protesters gathered outside the ICE facility in downtown Portland and began blocking entrances and exits. Some in the crowd reportedly rolled a dumpster in front of the compound, triggering a tactical response from officers stationed on the rooftop.
