Thousands of people attended the "ICE out" protest on Saturday in South Portland, according to the Portland Police Bureau. The protest began near Elizabeth Caruthers Park, and demonstrators later moved to an ICE facility a few blocks away, CBS affiliate KOIN reported. That's where witnesses said agents deployed tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets.
Erin Hoover Barnett, a former OregonLive reporter who joined the protest, said she was about 100 yards from the building in Portland's South Waterfront when "what looked like two guys with rocket launchers" started dousing the crowd with gas.
"To be among parents frantically trying to tend to little children in strollers, people using motorized carts trying to navigate as the rest of us staggered in retreat, unsure of how to get to safety, was terrifying," Barnett wrote in an email to OregonLive.
The use of tear gas continued intermittently through the night as the group of protesters dwindled, KOIN reported.
