PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After two days of , the block appears to be clear Monday afternoon.
Several protesters camping outside of the ICE facility were ordered to move, and they are now set up down the street.

Meanwhile, the building itself is in the process of being restored with protective boards and the graffiti is being power washed away.
Tensions were high over the weekend, with hundreds of people protesting outside the ICE building on Saturday. That number dwindled down to around a few dozen on Sunday.
Portland police declared the protests a riot on Saturday night, saying they were going to make targeted arrests. That night, ICE agents also threw several rounds of tear gas into the crowd.
KOIN 6 News reporters observed some of the protesters tossing the canisters back at the building along with water bottles and other materials. Crews also saw ICE agents use paintballs, rubber bullets and pepper bullets against protesters.

Damage to the ICE building includes graffiti, smashed windows and doors, and trash.
One protester, Blue, told KOIN 6 News there are greater things at stake than building damage.
'People are going to exercise their First Amendment right how they choose,' Blue said. 'It's a building. It has no rights. It has no importance to me. Compared to the human lives that are at stake here.'
'People are choosing to be in a location that they're not supposed to be, it seems like the protest is that's kind of, to begin with, their only crime. And then the police come out and get violent and then it becomes something else,' added a protestor named Casey.
over the course of the weekend, and some face felony charges. Four appeared in court Monday.
'I grieve that there's the violent, or more demonstrative, type of stuff missing. I'll just making that statement about why this is what we're about,' said protestor Wayne Smith. 'I think maintaining social order is the responsibility of the police.'
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson with the following statement:
'An estimated 50,000 Portlanders marched together in solidarity and protest yesterday, joining demonstrations from across the nation. We celebrate all those who peacefully and powerfully raised their voices against Federal overreach, which are deeply held values in both Portland and our nation.
Miles from the planned demonstration, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility was damaged by fireworks and other materials. The Incident Command team learned of one federal officer being injured and sent resources to assist, but learned he did not require medical treatment. Later in the evening, PPB was notified that two additional officers received minor injuries and they, too, did not require treatment. The Portland Police Bureau responded swiftly, arrested one person, and cleared a path for a medical evacuation, which was ultimately not required. Later in the evening, a small group of demonstrators remained at the facility and the majority were exercising their constitutional right to free speech while remaining law abiding. However, PPB did step in to make targeted arrests when they had probable cause of criminal behavior.
Portland is a sanctuary city within a sanctuary state, and the Portland Police Bureau serves and protects our community. We affirm the right to free speech and expression while emphasizing that violence, destruction, and obstruction carry consequences. Portland complies with all applicable federal and state laws and will not obstruct lawful federal enforcement operations.
Our officers will not be used as agents of ICE, but will intervene when criminal acts occur. Accordingly, our officers have maintained a presence at the facility during demonstrations. It is important to note that just because arrests are not made at the scene, when tensions are high, that does not mean that people are not being charged with crimes later. Even when arrests do not happen in the moment, PPB members will continue to conduct follow-up investigations, make arrests, and forward cases to the Multnomah County District Attorney for prosecution.
Portland has not requested and does not require the intervention of the National Guard. Deploying military troops to the heart of an American city, as the administration has in Los Angeles, is an unwarranted, unprecedented, and unconstitutional action. If we witness federal abuse following this incident or any other pretext, we will bring it to light, take legal action, and take the fight to federal courts, where we will prevail.'
KOIN 6 News reached out to ICE officials, but we have yet to receive a response.

Camarillo liquor store targeted, Fillmore man tied to April stabbing, more
A Camarillo liquor store was burglarized early June 21 with the culprits smashing through a front glass area and using a power tool to get past a metal gate, authorities said. The burglary was reported around 7:15 a.m. when workers arrived to find the front glass broken out, said Ventura County Sheriff's Capt. Tyler Abbott. The city of Camarillo contracts its police services with the sheriff's office. Surveillance video later showed the break-in happened around 2:55 a.m., and the suspects used a sledgehammer to break the glass and a power tool called a sawzall to cut through a metal gate, he said. The suspects hauled off with $1,000, lottery scratcher tickets and a tip jar, Abbott said. The culprits left in an older model Honda CRV with no plates. No alarm was activated in the burglary, Abbot said. Anyone with information about the burglary can call Camarillo police at 805-388-5100. Authorities arrested a Fillmore man on June 18 in connection to a pair of stabbings in April and for allegedly threatening a potential witness. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office arrested the 22-year-old man on suspicion of dissuading a witness by force or threat, battery and participation in a street gang, according to a sheriff's office news release. The city of Fillmore contracts its police services with the sheriff's office. The arrest comes after a monthslong investigation into two stabbings that took place shortly after 2:20 p.m. on April 15, sheriff's officials said. One victim with a stab wound was found by deputies in the 400 block of Mountain View Street. The second victim arrived at the Fillmore Police Station seeking medical assistance and was transported to a local hospital, sheriff's officials said. The suspect allegedly confronted, dissuaded and battered a member of the community while they attempted to gather information during the incident. Sheriff's investigators searched a residence in the 200 block of Mutau Circle in Fillmore and found evidence that tied the man to the alleged stabbings and a criminal street gang, according to the sheriff's office. The man was released on bond on June 18, jail records show. He is scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on July 2. Two Ventura County residents were arrested on June 18 after being tied to alleged illegal firearms sales, including a 'ghost gun,' authorities said. A 19-year-old Camarillo man and a 20-year-old Oxnard man were arrested on suspicion of felony offenses, including conspiracy to commit a crime, possession of a large capacity magazine and unlawful transfer of a weapon, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office is contracted to provide police services for the city of Camarillo. The arrests came after a monthslong investigation into a suspect in possession of an illegally owned firearm, sheriff's officials said. Investigators identified the suspect as the Camarillo man and later tied the Oxnard man as a conspirator. Sheriff's investigators searched a residence in 1700 Block of Alexander Street of Oxnard. The 20-year-old suspect allegedly attempted to flee during the search but was caught and arrested, sheriff's officials said. He also faces a charge of resisting arrest, authorities said. Detectives also searched the 19-year-old's residence in the 1200 block of Harris Avenue in Camarillo and found a Glock-style 9 mm without serial numbers, also known as a 'ghost gun." Investigators also found a 31-round Glock large-capacity magazine and an AR-15 upper receiver, sheriff's officials said. He also faces a felony charge for possession of a large-capacity magazine. Both men were released on bond on June 19, jail records show. They are scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on July 2, jail records show.

Standards Slip at Fort Bragg
'On Display at D.C.'s Parade: Tanks, Drones and the Military's Identity Crisis' (Review, June 14) cites President Trump's speech at Fort Bragg in which he used a group of soldiers as stage props in a piece of political theater. The authors refer to it as 'a breach of traditional decorum.' I believe it is an egregious violation of U.S. military standards of conduct. Our armed forces have sedulously separated themselves from partisan politics—and soldiers on duty, in uniform, booing or cheering remarks in a blatantly political speech are acting in contravention to those standards. One might note that politicians don't campaign on military installations; nor should they. That a politician would use soldiers in this way is profoundly disrespectful to the Constitution and to the troops who are sworn to defend it. It appears that refresher training in standards of conduct would be in order at Fort Bragg. Moreover, someone might inform the president of what type of speech or behavior is appropriate for uniformed military audiences.

FAA Blocks Drones Before NBA Finals Game 7
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a temporary flight restriction for a half nautical mile radius around Paycom Center in Oklahoma City (Okla.) that will begin at 5:00 pm local time and last until midnight. The TFR, which was issued on Friday, is among the security measures being set in place for Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game will be played in the aftermath of the United States Air Force and Navy bombing nuclear sites in Iran this weekend and Iran vowing revenge. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's National Terrorism Advisory System issued a bulletin Sunday stating the 'ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States.' Advertisement More from The TFR prohibits unmanned aircraft systems, which include drones and model aircrafts, from flying from the surface up to, and including, 400 feet above ground level. The prohibition excludes drones operated by DHS, police, firefighters and commercial operators who obtain an airspace waiver. Violators can face a bevy of sanctions, including revocations of licenses and fines. In certain instances, criminal charges are also possible. Earlier this year, the Department of Justice charged a man, Alexis Perez Suarez, who flew a drone over Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium during an AFC Wild Card game. Suarez was charged with operating a drone without a license and willfully violating U.S. National Defense Airspace. Suarez, who insisted he was only trying to take photographs, pleaded guilty and last week was sentenced to one year of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $500 fine. In a statement issued by the Department of Justice regarding Suarez's sentencing, FBI acting special agent in charge Amanda M. Koldjeski said, 'It is not just irresponsible and reckless, but illegal to fly a drone over a major sporting event such as a Ravens playoff game.' Koldjeski went on to say, 'capturing a photo is not worth the risk of hurting any spectators, players, or employees. As shown by this investigation, the FBI and our partners will hold those caught violating the law fully accountable.' Advertisement The FAA's move to block drones around Paycom Center is consistent with agency practices. The FAA regularly restricts unmanned aircraft systems from flying above a stadium, ballpark, racetrack and other venues. Federal law also imposes numerous restrictions on drone use, including as to permissible locations and how drones interact with air space and aircraft. Data suggests that drone incursions into restricted airspace are occurring more frequently. Science and technology publication The Debrief recently reported a 25.6% increase in illegal drone incursions near U.S. airports from January to March 2025 compared to that time period in 2024. Incursions could become more worrisome in light of national security concerns connected to U.S. military operations abroad. Drones have caused injuries to unsuspecting bystanders, including those celebrating sports. Last October, two people in Boston were hurt when a drone hit a light pole and crashed during a Boston Celtics opening night watch party at City Hall Plaza. Tip off for Game 7 is at 7:00 pm local time. Advertisement Best of Sign up for Sportico's Newsletter. For the latest news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
