Officers used tear gas to disperse the crowd outside the detention facility in Oregon
Police clashed with protesters outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday.
Demonstrations have been held in several cities against President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and the deployment of the National Guard.
According to Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB), hundreds of protesters marched to the detention facility and blocked the road in front of the building. Federal agents fired tear gas, smoke canisters, and pepper balls to disperse the crowd.
OPB said that at least seven people were arrested, and two of them were released hours later. Portland police, meanwhile, said that two more people were detained later that day, one of whom had a can of chemical spray and a collapsible metal baton.

On the same day, a federal judge blocked the National Guard deployment in Portland pending further arguments in a lawsuit brought by the state and city.
Trump authorized the dispatch of National Guardsmen to Chicago, where agents on Saturday were rammed and “boxed in by ten cars,” according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Officials said agents shot and wounded a female driver who had a gun.
Hours later, a protest outside an ICE processing facility in Broadview, near Chicago, also spiraled into clashes with police, during which several arrests were made.
