The occupation of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters on the South Waterfront has over six days expanded from a scattering of chairs to a village of more than 80 tents, four portable toilets, six couches, a commissary and a medic's office.
The protest now closely resembles the Occupy Portland camps that seized two downtown parks in 2011. Once again, a Portland mayor has sanctioned the takeover—but this time, the target is a federal agency, and the goal is to directly impede its work.
Mayor Ted Wheeler has pledged to not intervene with Occupy ICE, saying he considers the work of federal immigration agents "un-American" and doesn't want Portland police to aid ICE's operations.
The blockade would now be difficult to dislodge anyhow.
"We've seen tremendous support," says Mary Ann Warner, an occupation organizer. "We're seeing so much food. I don't think anyone's going hungry."

The protest, blocking the front doors and driveway of ICE's building along Southwest Macadam Avenue, has forced the suspension of agency work since June 18.

ICE shut down its Portland office after protesters blocked the entrance.

Bring in the Active Denial System
They really look like fine, upstanding young Americans, don’t they????*ROFL*
Look at all the Meds on that table
With heavy equipment licenses.
Don’t worry they’ll soon start stealing from and eating their own
Ok. So who are the behind guys? Let me guess [Soros].
For starters, arrest the mayor and local law enforcement leadership for supporting an attack against the federal government.
Look at all the Meds on that table

Yep. And the dumbasses have them sitting in the sunlight. Their antipsychotics will quickly lose all their potency—then look out.
This is insurrection.
How about a new meme...
#OccupyRedHen
The curious thing is none of these individuals have any kind of occupation or value to the local community. My guess is that they get a couple hundred dollars monthly from ‘dad’, and they live off that.
Feds ought to just pick them up and transport them to some holding camp in the middle of some Alaskan range.
Dang! I coulda just camped out in a tent and saved a bunch money!
I don’t think Trump will let these Occupy things take over like in the Obama years
What would happen if they just disappeared and were never heard from again?
Where's Hoffa?
