Portland Antifa brings guillotine to send message to ICE during Labor Day direct action outside ICE facility

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Southwest Portland on Monday for a heated anti-ICE Labor Day demonstration.

ICE and Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers, tasked with securing the facility, issued repeated orders for the crowd to vacate restricted areas around the federal building. A loudspeaker announcement warned, "Everyone must leave this restricted area, or may be subject to detention, arrest, or exposure to chemical munitions for failure to depart the restricted area."
