DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
"The federal government cannot be trusted. Our default position should be skepticism and understanding they lie very regularly," said Sameer Kanal, a Portland city councilor. "There's a playbook of demonizing people … and claiming vehicles were used as 'weapons.' We see a pattern of victim-blaming, and it's important we push back, because it's propaganda."…

Federal Agents Launch Tear Gas at Nonviolent Anti-ICE Protesters—Including Children – Mother Jones
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson released a statement late Saturday night, saying that it was a "peaceful daytime protest" that "posed no danger to federal forces."
"To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave," he continued. "To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children. Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets."…

Lawmakers slam Ice after US military veterans are arrested, injured
"We are seeing unjustifiable and excessive force at the Portland Ice facility," said Dexter, a physician who practiced for eight years at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals. She noted that on 4 October, an 84-year-old demonstrator sustained a concussion when she was rushed and knocked to the ground by federal agents during what the Oregonian newspaper described as a "peaceful protest."
The woman's husband, also 84 and a Vietnam war veteran, was also pushed to the ground, the Oregonian reported. According to the newspaper, he was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap when federal officers pushed him...

The Portland street where everything is streamed for the president - The Washington Post
…Suddenly, federal officers started shooting pepper balls. Later, they tossed canisters of tear gas at the feet of demonstrators. The canisters erupted in sparks and a cloud of white smoke.
After the protesters were forced to retreat several blocks away, federal police tore down a banner erected on a chain-link fence that said "ABOLISH ICE" in giant letters. Daviscourt, embedded with federal agents, tweeted video of ICE officers jogging back into their facility with the balled-up banner…

Portland’s anti-ICE protests are a magnet for MAGA influencers
"Despite repeated advice from officers to stay away from the ICE crowd, they constantly return and antagonize the protesters until they are assaulted or pepper sprayed. They refuse or are reluctant to walk away from these confrontations, even when police are in the area trying to meet with them. They even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters," Braun wrote in the Sept. 21 email...
Republicans BUSTED Using Fake Photos To Justify Trump's Portland Siege
The official Twitter account of the Oregon Republican Party was busted using fake photographs to claim that Portland is under siege by the Left and that Trump's deployment of the National Guard was necessary. The only problem is that the pictures weren't from Portland, or from the US, or even from this year. Some of the pictures were nearly 20 years old and featured riot police in South America - obviously not modern-day Portland. The Oregon GOP deleted the post after being called out, but the damage has already been done.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America
When a Guardian reporter pointed out on social media that the image was not a genuine photograph of the generally small and tame protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland, the Oregon Republican Party's X account replied: "We're not reporters, just bad memers."…
