Video circulating online shows a chaotic scene outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon, where protesters blocked the driveway and prevented vehicles from entering or exiting the building.
The footage shows a group gathered directly in the driveway, holding signs and chanting, as federal agents repeatedly order them to clear the area. When the crowd refuses to move, agents begin deploying pepper balls and gas to disperse the group.
Several individuals can be seen retreating as the crowd-control measures are used, while others remain in place. The video captures agents moving forward and detaining multiple people during the confrontation.
Some protesters were holding signs referencing recent ICE-related incidents, including the death of Renee Good, which has sparked demonstrations in multiple cities. The protest appears to be part of a broader wave of coordinated anti-ICE actions nationwide.
ICE facilities are considered restricted federal property, and blocking entrances can lead to enforcement actions under federal law. Agents are authorized to use non-lethal crowd-control tools when access to federal buildings is obstructed.
The video does not show what occurred before the confrontation began, but it clearly documents the moment agents escalate their response and begin making arrests.
No official statement has yet been released detailing how many people were detained or whether charges will be filed.
The footage continues to spread online as debates intensify over immigration enforcement, protest tactics, and the use of force by federal authorities.
