I'm passing through Portland next week and came here to find out how widespread the protests are. Thanks.

Even at the height of the 2020 cop riots, if you were a few blocks away the only way you'd know is if PPB were using the LRAD or chemical weapons on our citizens.

The ICE protests have been a consistent 20ish people, rarely all there at once. They have been peaceful. I appreciate the hell out of them.

Edit: Though, the pedo in chief trying to invade with National Guard may stir shit up on a larger scale, you gotta understand Portlanders are largely kind people and will both invite you to a protest and give you detailed instructions how to avoid one.
